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.
