About

Perchoir

Features
Read full description

Perchoir reconnects your iPhone to the agent sessions (Claude Code, Codex and others) that Fauconnier opened on your computer. Nothing runs on the phone: your agents stay on the computer, in tmux sessions that survive closing the app. • Reattach to a session in one gesture and find the buffer exactly as you left it. • Follow several agents at once — Canvas mode on iPad and large screens. • Dictate your instructions by voice, holding the orb. • Send a screenshot or a file to an agent. • Get a notification when an agent needs you. Direct SSH connection to your computer, on your own network. Private keys stay in the device keychain, never backed up to iCloud. Requires Fauconnier and Remote Login enabled on the host computer.
