Lody is the remote control for your coding agents. Start a task from your phone, and Claude Code, Codex, or any CLI agent runs it on your own computer or server—then review every change, anywhere. ■ One remote for every coding agent • Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Kimi, and any ACP-compatible agent • Bring your own subscription or API key—Lody runs the agents on your machines, with your models • Switch models, modes, slash commands, and Fast Mode right inside the chat ■ Control all your computers and servers • Connect every laptop, dev box, and cloud server to one account • Start a session on any online machine from your phone or browser • Machines stay private by default—share a build server or cloud worker with your team in one tap • Daemon mode keeps agents running in the background and recovers automatically after a restart ■ Run agents in parallel, safely • Every task gets its own isolated Git worktree—no collisions between parallel runs • Sandboxed execution with native runtime controls and fewer permission prompts • Session tabs keep the main chat, sub-agents, files, and diffs together in one view ■ Review everything from anywhere • Each turn ends with an in-context diff, so you can review without opening your IDE • A real-time file tree and project file browser stay synced with the working directory • Search inside a conversation across messages, tool calls, terminal output, and diffs • VS Code themes give you familiar code and diff colors • Lody Preview opens a live UI preview with desktop, tablet, and mobile viewports—drop visual annotations and send them straight back to the agent ■ GitHub, built in • Start a task from any Issue or Pull Request with a simple #mention • PR status, CI checks, and review comments sync automatically—no tab-switching • Mark drafts ready for review, merge, and delete branches without leaving Lody • Leave line comments on diffs and sync them to GitHub PR Review; replies post back both ways • Auto commit & push and "Fix PR comments" keep your branch moving • Act as yourself on GitHub for comments, reviews, and merges ■ Built for your team • Share agent configs and full conversation context so everyone stays aligned • Invite members, set roles, and view your teammates' sessions • Track AI token usage and cost by member ■ Made for mobile • Native iOS apps designed for small screens • Live Activities on iPhone show running agent status on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Push notifications when a task finishes, an agent needs approval, or a PR is ready • Approve permissions, review diffs, and reply on the go • Works offline for cached conversations and saved diffs Install Lody on your machine, and take your coding agents with you—everywhere.

SSH, Mosh and SFTP on the iPhone. A terminal built so that fixing something from your phone is not a punishment. A REAL TERMINAL, NOT A VIEWER Complete, with colours, control keys and scrolling. Mosh keeps the session alive when you move from Wi-Fi to mobile data or the subway swallows your signal. And built-in SFTP: browse, upload and download files on the server without leaving the session or switching apps. SAY WHAT YOU WANT AND IT WRITES THE COMMAND You dictate and the AI writes the exact command. "Show me the nginx logs live" becomes journalctl -u nginx -f. "Close claude and open agy" becomes pkill -f claude && agy. You choose: Review writes each command so you press Enter; Safe auto only runs the limited set termi1 recognises as safe. Any change or unknown command waits for your Enter; a generated command carrying unexpected control characters is blocked, and informational text is shown neutralised. It knows today's tools, not just the ones from the nineties: claude, agy, codex, gh, ripgrep, fd, uv, bun, docker, kubectl, tailscale. IT KNOWS WHEN IT IS IN PRODUCTION Mark each server as personal, staging or production; termi1 never guesses it from the name. In production nothing runs on its own, and anything that deletes, stops or changes something is shown first with the reason and a read-only alternative: writing it takes a hold, and even then it is written without Enter. It protects what termi1 writes for you, not what you type. And it keeps a local receipt, only on your phone, of what the app wrote for you. YOUR KEYS NEVER TRAVEL Generate an SSH key on the phone itself: it is born here and never leaves. It is stored in the Keychain behind Face ID, like your passwords. You can also paste one you already have. MADE FOR TYPING WITH YOUR THUMB The row of keys the system keyboard hides. Your shortcuts one tap away. Tap to place the cursor. Split screen on iPad. And the microphone wherever you want it, left or right. EIGHTEEN COLOUR SCHEMES Two strips: nine vivid and nine pastel. The whole app adapts to the one you pick, not just the grid. WITH AN ACCOUNT, IF YOU WANT Your saved connections and shortcuts follow you to any device. Without an account the app works the same; they just stay on this one. WHAT IS FREE The terminal, all of it. Dictation, all of it. With an account, three AI commands a day. AI+ removes the cap. YOUR MAC, ONE CODE AWAY Install termi1 Companion on the Mac, press Pair and type the six-digit code on the iPhone: your key is installed with nothing to copy, nothing to paste and no editing of authorized_keys. If the Mac is on a private network such as Prialo or Tailscale, that same connection works away from home too. WHAT YOU LEAVE RUNNING IS STILL THERE A persistent tmux session, per connection: close the app, come back later, and the build, the migration or the agent you left working is where you left it. And at login, one line with the server's state: system, uptime, load, memory and disk. MORE KEYS, LESS TYPING The fn key opens the plane with F1–F12, PgUp/PgDn, Home and End, the one htop, mc and nano ask for. As you type, termi1 offers the command's options: “ls” hands you -la; “git”, its verbs. And the SFTP browser sorts by name, date or size, with preview and copy path. SHORTCUTS, SIRI AND THE ACTION BUTTON Open a connection or launch one of your shortcuts from Shortcuts, Siri, the Action button or Control Centre. termi1 always comes to the front: the key goes through Face ID and, on a server you tagged as production, Production Guard shows the command and waits. In sixteen languages.
