Otherside CLI vs Ground Control Chat

Otherside CLI is the mobile companion for your terminal coding agent. Pair the app with the Otherside CLI running on your laptop, then control your AI coding sessions from anywhere. See your agent's progress in real time, approve permission requests on the go, and pick up the conversation from your phone when you step away from the keyboard. Features: - Live session view: every tool call, file edit, and assistant reply streams to your phone in real time - Permission control: approve or deny agent actions from the lock screen via push notifications - Multi-provider: pair with sessions running multiple AI providers - End-to-end encrypted: messages and content are encrypted on your devices; the broker never sees plaintext - Push notifications: get notified when your agent finishes, hits an error, or needs your input - Multi-device: pair multiple desktops to one mobile Privacy first: Otherside uses end-to-end encryption with standard cryptographic primitives (X25519, ChaCha20-Poly1305). Your conversation content never leaves your devices in readable form. Get started by installing the Otherside CLI on your laptop (othersidecli.com), then scan the QR code from the mobile app to pair.

Every Claude Code session on your Mac becomes a pixel pilot on your phone. Ground Control shows your AI coding agents as unique little creatures marching on a neon city street. Cyan means working. Lavender means idle. Pink means one of them needs you. Tap a pilot to open its conversation. Read every reply as it streams in. Send new orders from the couch, the train, or the other side of the world, and watch your actual terminal on the Mac update live. SETUP IN ONE MINUTE Run one command on your Mac (npx @clastres/groundcontrol), scan the QR code it prints, done. No account. No signup. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE Your pairing key is generated on your Mac and shared only through the QR code you scan. Everything travels end to end encrypted. Our relay routes sealed bytes and cannot read them. We store nothing. UNIQUE PILOTS Every session hatches its own creature, generated from its identity, with its own walk cycle. It keeps that face forever. Requires a Mac running Claude Code and the Ground Control daemon.
