Large-scale agent coordination for developers, from anywhere. Run hundreds of agents in parallel and direct every one of them from your iPhone or iPad. Intent gives each task or project its own workspace with its own team of agents, keeps many workspaces running at once across multiple computers, and Intent Mobile lets you monitor, manage, and drive every workspace from the device in your hand. Intent Mobile requires the Intent desktop app running on a computer on the same local network. - Browse your workspaces and see their status at a glance. - Read the specs guiding your agents, including goals, tasks, and decisions. - Follow notes and documents as the work evolves. - Track task progress across your workspaces. - Follow agent conversations in real time, send messages, and answer questions. Pair by scanning the QR code in Intent’s desktop settings, or enter your connection details manually. Save multiple connections and switch between them at any time. If a connection drops, Intent Mobile reconnects automatically when your computer is reachable again. Intent Mobile connects directly to your computer over an encrypted local connection, without a cloud relay. The mobile app requires no account and includes no analytics or tracking.
