Crystl vs Opensteer

crystl for iPhone is the companion to crystl for Mac, the desktop app that runs your AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini). Pair over your local network to watch shards live, read transcripts, approve tool requests, answer agent questions, and steer sessions from anywhere in the house. Requires crystl running on your Mac.

Opensteer puts your AI agents in your pocket. Watch every running task from anywhere, answer the questions that need you, and keep work moving without opening your laptop. WATCH EVERYTHING LIVE See what your agents are doing right now — live status, progress, and results for every running task. ONE PING WHEN IT MATTERS Approvals and questions land as notifications. Everything else waits quietly until you're ready. REVIEW REAL WORK Read diffs, browse files, and inspect terminal output from your phone. Reply, redirect, or approve in a tap. YOUR MACHINES OR THE CLOUD Run work in hosted cloud environments, or pair the app with your own computers running the open-source Opensteer server. Opensteer requires an Opensteer account. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email.
