About

Multi Agent Manager

Read full description

Multi Agent Manager (MAM) lets you keep an eye on your AI agents from your phone — so you know the moment something finishes or needs your input, even when you're away from your desk. MAM Mobile is a companion to the Multi Agent Manager desktop app. It mirrors your live agent queue and sends a notification the instant a chat is ready or is waiting on you. WHAT YOU GET • Live queue — every tracked AI chat in one place (Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot — across terminal, desktop, and web), each with its current status: generating, needs you, ready, or idle. • Instant notifications — get pinged the moment a chat finishes or pauses for your input. Stop babysitting a terminal. • All your machines, one queue — chats from every desktop you run MAM on, each tagged with its source. • Private by design — only chat titles and status sync to your phone. The contents of your conversations never leave your computer. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install Multi Agent Manager on your desktop (multiagentmanager.app). 2. Turn on "Sync to Mobile" in desktop settings and sign in. 3. Sign in here with the same account — your queue appears. REQUIRES the Multi Agent Manager desktop app. This app displays your queue and sends alerts; it does not run AI agents on its own.

About

Pi Companion

Features
Read full description

Pi Companion is an unofficial iOS companion app for the Pi coding agent (pi.dev) — browse your projects, read full chat history, and keep talking to your agents while away from your Mac. Start a task in your terminal, go for a walk, keep directing the agent from your phone, and come back to continue on the desktop — same session, no restarts. HOW IT WORKS A small open-source companion server runs on your Mac. It reads Pi's session files and drives Pi over its documented RPC protocol. The app connects directly to your Mac over your own network — no cloud, no accounts, no analytics. Use tools like Tailscale to reach your Mac from anywhere. FEATURES • Projects and workspaces: the folders you choose, grouped by git repo, with branches and live status • Full chat history: messages, thinking blocks, tool calls, and images • Send messages: continue any session from your phone; the terminal picks up exactly where you left off • New sessions and git worktrees, started from your phone • Model picker: Pi's full catalog across 15+ providers, switchable mid-session • Diffs: review each workspace's changes on your phone REQUIREMENTS A Mac running Pi (pi.dev), Bun, and the free companion server (link on the support page). This app is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Pi project.
