Conduit Code
Read full descriptionHide full description
Conduit is a mobile workspace for coding agents running on your own development machine. Pair the app with the Conduit broker, then start and supervise Claude and Codex sessions from your iPhone or iPad. Watch agents plan, run commands, edit files, and ask for approval before critical steps. Keep a live terminal and browser preview close by so you can check output, review diffs, and guide the work without sitting at your desk. For App Review, Conduit includes an in-app demo mode that does not require a live broker or external account. Open the app on a fresh install and choose Explore without a server to see sample sessions, chat, approvals, and the core workspace flow. Conduit is self-hosted by design. Your session content flows between your device and the broker you run; Conduit does not operate a cloud service that stores your terminal output, chat, or browser content. Conduit Plus (optional) Conduit Plus is an optional upgrade. It is available as an auto-renewable subscription at US$2.99 per month, or as a one-time US$29.99 lifetime unlock. Plus lifts the free tier's limits (one paired machine, two concurrent sessions, two automations, two agent CLIs) and unlocks extra theme palettes, chat font pairings and alternate app icons. Chat, terminal, session reliability and Flows are free and are never gated. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
