Read full descriptionHide full description
Braid Code is the mobile companion for Braid, the desktop app for running AI coding agents across multiple Git worktrees. Pair your iPhone or iPad with Braid on your Mac, then keep an eye on your coding sessions from anywhere on your local network. See which agents are running, which ones need input, and which tasks have finished. Open a worktree, inspect active terminal sessions, and jump back in when your attention is needed. Use Braid Code to: - Pair securely with your Braid desktop app using a QR code - View connected desktops, projects, worktrees, and agent status - Monitor Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI, and other terminal-based coding agents launched from Braid - Open terminal sessions linked to a worktree - Track recent activity and focus on agents that need input - Receive notifications when an agent finishes, errors, or waits for a response - Check connection diagnostics when your desktop is unreachable - Review usage and rate-limit status from supported providers Braid is built for developers who run several AI coding tasks in parallel. Instead of constantly returning to your Mac to check every terminal, Braid Code gives you a focused mobile view of the work that is active right now. Requirements: - Braid desktop app running on macOS - Your iPhone or iPad and Mac on the same local network for local connections - Camera access to scan the desktop pairing code - Notifications are optional and can be configured in Settings Braid Code does not replace the desktop development environment. It extends it, so you can monitor progress, respond at the right moment, and keep multiple agent sessions moving.

The remote app for wmux desktop. Pair with a QR code and every workspace and session on your computer is on your phone โ pick up where you left off, read along, type, and answer. The free wmux desktop app (wmux.app) must be installed on your computer. It works with Windows 10/11 and macOS. Your code, shells and agents stay on your computer, not in the cloud, and there is no account. wmux never calls a model. It only mirrors the terminal on your own computer, so it works however your agents are set up there โ with a personal API key, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, a company gateway or a local model. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Watch a live terminal and type into it with a full keyboard โ Esc, Tab, Ctrl and the arrows included โข Read the same session as a native chat for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode: prose, code, diffs, tables, tool calls and the images the agent worked with โข Fleet mirrors the desktop sidebar โ workspace โบ pane โบ tasks, with anything waiting on you at the top โข Search wmux's conversations, sessions and scrollback on a computer, all at once โข Answer an agent's permission prompt from the lock screen or its card โ Yes takes Face ID and a hold โ so a run doesn't sit idle until you are back โข Answer with no signal โ replies wait in a queue and go out when you are back, and a recovery center gathers anything uncertain โข Send a photo or a dictated line straight into a pane โข Keep the count in front of you with a Home Screen widget or a lock screen Live Activity Some features need the latest wmux on your computer. BUILT FOR A PHONE, NOT SHRUNK ONTO ONE Tables wrap to the column instead of scrolling off the edge. Code blocks stay chips until you open them. The conversation groups by speaker so one turn reads as one turn. Everything is legible at arm's length in a dark room, which is where the notification usually finds you. WHAT YOU NEED wmux running on your own Windows or Mac computer โ that is where your agents live, and this app is its remote. Get it at wmux.app. Your phone pairs by scanning a QR code and reaches that computer over your Tailscale tailnet, so it works away from home too. NO COMPUTER HANDY? TRY THE DEMO Open the app and tap "Try the demo" at the bottom of the pairing screen. It opens a sample workspace โ an approval waiting, three sessions, a full transcript โ with nothing connected and nothing sent anywhere. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. No advertising. Your pairing credential lives in this device's Keychain and is sent only to the computer you paired with. Notification contents are sealed on that computer and opened on your phone; the relay in between cannot read them. The lock screen Live Activity carries counts only โ numbers, no text โ and nothing is stored anywhere along the way.
