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.
