Orca IDE vs Ripple Remote

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.

GPT and DeepSeek inside the Claude desktop app, and a phone remote that stays connected for hours. ClaudeRipple is a router that lets the Claude app and Claude Code run other models such as GPT, DeepSeek and Gemini. Turn on picker mode and you choose them right in the Claude app's own model menu. Ripple Remote is the phone app that follows those sessions, approves their requests and sends the next instruction. Why Ripple Remote • No 30-minute cutoff: the remote stays connected while your computer is on, so you can follow and approve a job that runs for hours. • Any model you route: sessions running Claude, GPT, DeepSeek or Gemini all work the same from your phone, and you can switch the next turn's model and reasoning effort there too. • Your Claude app sessions: on a Mac, sessions you started in the Claude desktop app's Code tab continue on your phone. • Encrypted alerts: when work finishes or needs approval you get the session name and a summary, and that text is end-to-end encrypted. What you can do from your phone • Sessions grouped by needs input, failed, to review, working and done; folder view and archive • A live timeline of tool calls and replies as they happen • Command output and code diffs • Each subagent's model, instructions and progress • Allow or deny tool requests, approve plans, answer question cards • Attach photos and files, stop work in progress Try it first Tap "Try the demo" on the connect screen to use the real screens with demo data generated inside the app. Nothing leaves your phone. Before you begin • Install and run ClaudeRipple on your computer (macOS, Windows or Linux), then scan the QR code on its dashboard once. • Claude desktop app sessions are currently supported on macOS. • Ripple Remote doesn't run AI models and includes no model subscription. Models follow your computer's ClaudeRipple setup and your own subscriptions or API keys. Privacy • Every message, attachment and notification between your phone and your computer is end-to-end encrypted. Neither the relay nor the push service can read it. • No account, no sign-in, no ads, analytics or tracking. Free. • Unpair in Settings to delete pairing keys and queued messages right away.
