Remote Pi turns your iPhone into the control surface for the AI coding agents running on every machine you work from. Pair your phone once by scanning a QR code on your Mac. From then on your devices form a mesh: the agents on your machines talk to each other, and your phone is the trusted key that authorizes new peers and lets you step in from anywhere. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Scan a QR code to pair with a machine in seconds • See every active agent session across all your paired machines in one list • Follow the conversation live as your agent streams its work • Approve or reject tool calls with a tap — you stay in control of what runs • Move between machines without losing context YOUR PHONE IS JUST THE AUTHENTICATOR You don't run the heavy work on your phone. The agents live on your computers; your phone holds the cryptographic identity that vouches for new devices and gives you a window into what's happening. Pairing uses Ed25519 device keys over TLS. WORKS WITH THE HARNESS YOU USE Remote Pi rides alongside the coding-agent setup you already run on your machines instead of replacing it. OPEN SOURCE & SELF-HOSTABLE Remote Pi is open source. Start with the public relay, or point the app at your own self-hosted relay so the connection between your devices runs on infrastructure you control. Built for developers who want their agents within reach — on the couch, on the move, or away from the desk.

Meet Superset, the phone app for the coding agents running on your computer. Start a task, watch the agent work, answer its questions, and review the diff before anything merges, without opening your laptop. AI CODING AGENTS ON YOUR PHONE Start work the moment an idea lands. Pick a project and branch, choose an agent and model, and send the task. Every session runs in its own isolated workspace, so nothing touches your main branch until you decide it should. FOLLOW EVERY SESSION LIVE See what your agents are doing as they do it. Read their output, watch the commands they run, and know at a glance which sessions are working, which need your permission, and which are finished and waiting for you. Open the terminal when you want the raw output. CODE REVIEW ON THE GO Read every change file by file with syntax highlighting. Comment on specific lines, then send your review back to the agent in one step so it can make the fixes. Open the pull request, check its status, and merge it from your phone. NO TYPING NEEDED Dictate instructions when typing on a phone is a chore. Snap a whiteboard sketch or attach a screenshot of a bug, and the agent gets it with your message. WORKS WITH THE AGENTS YOU ALREADY USE Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor Agent, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Amp, and more terminal agents. Superset is not affiliated with their makers. YOUR CODE STAYS ON YOUR MACHINE Your agents, shells, and code run on your own computer. The phone shows what they are doing and sends your input back. Nothing is downloaded or run on your device. Superset helps you: ▶ Start agent tasks on your own computer from anywhere ▶ See which sessions need you and which are done ▶ Review diffs and leave line-by-line comments ▶ Send review feedback straight back to the agent ▶ Merge pull requests without opening your laptop ▶ Dictate instructions and attach photos and screenshots ▶ Keep up with your team's workspaces across projects GET STARTED Superset Mobile pairs with the Superset desktop app. Install it on your computer from superset.sh, sign in with the same account on your phone, and your machines appear with their workspaces and sessions. Superset Mobile is included with Superset Pro for organizations.
