hob mobile is the phone companion to hob, the professional workspace for your whole agent stack. Manage your agents, reply to them, and approve their work when you are away from your desk. Requires hob on your computer (macOS, Windows, or Linux). Get it at hob.dev. MANAGE YOUR AGENTS FROM ANYWHERE Your agents keep running on your computer. See every project and every agent. The inbox shows which agents are working, which need your attention, and which finished work is waiting for review. REPLY BY VOICE OR TEXT Read the full conversation with each agent. Send the next instruction by typing, or record a voice message. APPROVE WITHOUT GOING BACK TO YOUR DESK When an agent asks a question or needs permission, answer it from your phone and the agent continues. START A NEW AGENT IN SECONDS Pick a project and a model, describe the task, and the agent starts on your computer. GET NOTIFIED WHEN AN AGENT IS DONE Get a notification when an agent finishes its turn, waits for your approval, or reports an error. Tap it to open that agent. RUN COMMANDS ON YOUR COMPUTER Open your terminals and run commands from your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pair your phone by scanning a QR code in hob, then approve the device once on your computer. Connect on your local network, or over the internet through the hob relay. hob never opens ports on your computer to the public internet. With hob mobile, you can: ⢠See all your agents and projects in one inbox ⢠Reply by voice or text ⢠Answer questions and approve requests ⢠Start new agents ⢠Get notified when agents finish or need you ⢠Run commands in your terminals Works with the agents you already use in hob, such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. āāā Privacy Policy: https://hob.dev/privacy Ā© 2026 SmartAppsCo LLC
