About

Collie Remote

Features
Read full description

Collie Remote is the companion app for Collie, the coding agent that runs on your own computer. Collie writes a reproduction, runs it, and only calls a job done when an assertion it executed has passed. This app lets you watch that happen, and start it, from wherever you are. • See what your machine is working on — the reproduction, the edits, the verdict. • Start a run from your phone; the work happens on your computer. • Redirect a run that is going the wrong way instead of waiting for it to finish. • Tell the computer what to do in plain words — open an app, lock the screen, play something. • Read the code it changed, so you can judge the change rather than take it on trust. • Send a photo of the thing that is broken. HOW IT CONNECTS There is no Collie account and no Collie cloud. The app talks to Collie running on your own machine — either directly over your network, or through an end-to-end encrypted relay when you are away from it. Pairing is one scan plus a number you confirm on the computer itself, so nothing gets in without someone at the keyboard agreeing. You need Collie on your Mac or PC first: https://collie.run Open source: https://github.com/colliehq/collie
