Proxee Companion vs Orca IDE

Proxee Companion lets you preview and control local web projects from your iPhone while using Proxee on your Mac. IMPORTANT: This app is a companion for Proxee for macOS. It does not work as a standalone iPhone app. Proxee for macOS must be running on the same local network. HOW TO USE IT: Open Proxee on your Mac, scan the QR code with your iPhone, and your local development site appears on your phone. The companion keeps the phone view connected to your Mac session so you can test responsive layouts, interactions, navigation, and live UI changes on a real device. Proxee Companion is designed for developers, designers and indie makers who build websites and web apps locally and want a faster way to check the mobile experience without manually copying URLs or juggling separate browser sessions. Features: • Connect to Proxee on your Mac with a QR code • Open local development sites on your iPhone • Keep the iPhone session in sync with your Mac • Test responsive layouts on a real device • Reconnect to your last Proxee session • Keep your iPhone awake during active preview sessions

Orca Mobile is the companion app for Orca, the open-source agentic coding workspace for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Pair your iPhone to your desktop in seconds and pick up a terminal session from the couch, the kitchen, or across the office. WHAT IT DOES • Live mirror of your desktop terminal, including running AI agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex, custom CLIs). • Full keyboard input — type, tab-complete, Ctrl-C, scroll back, all from the phone. • Multi-worktree, multi-terminal: jump between projects with a tap. • Phone-fit zoom and a smart on-screen keyboard with quick Ctrl/Alt accessory keys and shortcuts. • Background long-running commands and get a notification when a TUI goes idle (e.g. when Claude finishes thinking). HOW IT WORKS Orca Mobile is a thin client. Nothing runs on your phone except the viewer. Your code, your shells, your AI agents — all of that stays on your desktop. The phone shows you what's happening and forwards your keystrokes back over an encrypted local-network connection. Pairing is end-to-end encrypted. Your desktop generates a one-time keypair and shows a QR code; you scan it from the app. After that, all traffic between phone and desktop is sealed with that pair's keys. PRIVACY • No analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no third-party SDKs of any kind in the iOS app. • Pairing tokens and your preference list live in the app's own sandbox. The app's traffic to your desktop is end-to-end encrypted on your local network only. • The Orca desktop app collects anonymized usage metrics per the policy at https://www.onorca.dev/privacy. The mobile app itself does not. • Open source: every line is auditable at https://github.com/stablyai/orca. REQUIREMENTS • An iPhone (iOS 16+) on the same Wi-Fi as your desktop. • The Orca desktop app, free, from https://www.onorca.dev/ or https://github.com/stablyai/orca/releases.
