Read full descriptionHide full description
Pi in Pocket is the mobile companion for pi, the open-source coding agent (github.com/badlogic/pi-mono). Control your agent remotely from your iPhone or iPad while it runs on your Mac. Pi is a minimal terminal coding agent that gives an LLM four core tools: read, write, edit, and bash. It supports multiple providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and more), is fully extensible with skills, prompt templates, and extensions, and runs in interactive, RPC, or SDK mode. Pi in Pocket connects to your Mac over your local network or Tailscale VPN through the pi-bridge server, giving you a live window into every running session. What you can do: ⢠Watch the agent think, call tools, and write code in real time ⢠Send messages, steer the agent mid-turn, or queue follow-ups ⢠Browse live and completed sessions across all your projects ⢠Start new sessions in any project directory ⢠Switch LLM models and thinking levels on the fly ⢠Compact context when the conversation gets long ⢠Get push notifications when a task finishes ⢠Read full tool outputs, code diffs, and markdown responses Built for developers who want to stay in the loop while away from the keyboard. Start a long task on your Mac, walk away, and manage everything from your phone. Requires a Mac running the pi-bridge server and the pi coding agent. Connect over your local network or Tailscale VPN.
