Replicas vs Intent Mobile

Replicas is the cloud coding agent for engineering teams. Run coding agents inside cloud machines with your codebases, tooling, and dependencies. Delegate work, iterate with agents, and review what comes back from your iPhone. Start work with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode or Pi. Each task runs in its own isolated Linux VM with the repositories, dependencies, and tools configured by your organization. From the Replicas app, you can: • Start and monitor coding tasks • Chat with agents and steer work in progress • Attach images and files • Inspect changes and web previews • Review pull requests • Switch between organizations and environments A Replicas account is required. Environments, repositories, credentials, and subscriptions are configured outside the iOS app. The app does not offer purchases or contain purchase links.

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. You can revoke access by rotating the pairing token in the desktop app. Requires iOS 18 or later.
