farcrew vs AI Agent Pager

Your agents run on your machine. You watch from your phone. farcrew keeps a terminal session alive on a computer you own - a Mac, a Linux box, a VPS - and puts it in your pocket. Start a long run at your desk, close the lid, and pick it up on the train. Nothing was running on the phone, so nothing stopped. THE LOOP IT WAS BUILT FOR An agent works for twenty minutes, then stops to ask you something. Until you answer, it does nothing. farcrew notices the moment a session starts waiting and tells your phone. You read the question, type the answer, and the run continues. WHAT YOU GET • Every run in one list - waiting first, then running, then finished, across every machine you have paired. • A real terminal, not a remote control. Type, scroll, search the scrollback, pinch to resize the type, send Esc, Tab, Ctrl-C and the arrows from a key bar built for a thumb. • Attach a photo or a file to a session straight from your phone. • Notifications when a run needs you, and only then - a session you are already looking at never pings you. • Port previews: publish a dev server from your machine on a secret URL and open it anywhere. • Workspaces that keep the same shape on the phone, the desktop app and the web console. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY RUN Anything that lives in a terminal: coding agents, build scripts, test suites, log tails, a plain shell. farcrew does not wrap a particular tool - it carries the terminal. BUILT SO WE CANNOT READ IT What is on your terminal is encrypted on your device and decrypted on your machine, with a key the two of them negotiate directly (X25519, AES-256-GCM). Our relay forwards ciphertext it holds no key for. Each machine's identity is pinned the first time you connect, and the app tells you loudly if it ever changes. Sign-in is a password plus a passkey, with recovery codes for the day the passkey is gone. WHAT YOU NEED • A computer of your own, running macOS or Linux, that stays on while your work does. • The farcrew daemon installed on it - one command, then a pairing code. • A farcrew account. farcrew is not a shell that runs on your phone, and it is not a cloud that runs your code. It is the wire between the machine you already trust and the phone already in your hand. Questions: support@farcrew.app

Your coding agent hits a decision it cannot make alone. Instead of sitting in a terminal waiting for you, it sends a push to your phone. You tap an answer. It keeps going. Notifex is a pager and a decision inbox for AI agents. Any agent that speaks MCP can reach you through it: Cursor, n8n and any other MCP-compatible agent. What it does - Real questions, not just alerts. An agent can ask a single-select, multi-select or free-text question and wait for your answer. There is no timeout. - One tap to unblock. Your answer goes straight back to the agent and the run continues. - Messages too. Deploy finished. Tests are green. Status when you want it, questions when it matters. - Batches. A release checklist arrives as one notification you page through, not five separate pings. - One inbox per project. Switch between projects like mail. Every thread keeps its history. - Invite your team. Everyone gets the push, and the first answer wins. Setup One entry in your agent's MCP config: a URL and a project key. Nothing to install on your Mac. No daemon, no bridge, no pairing. Keys are per project and you can revoke them. What it is not Notifex does not mirror your terminal and does not need access to your machine. It carries the questions your agent chooses to ask, and the answers you send back. Free on iPhone.
