Mobaide vs Shahi

Mobaide is a mobile IDE for AI coding agents. Start any terminal AI agent on your own Windows, macOS or Linux computer and drive it from your phone — free, with no public IP, VPN or port forwarding. Claude Code, Codex CLI and Antigravity CLI are built in. Any other terminal tool — OpenCode, Cursor CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Pi, Aider, or an agent multiplexer like Herdr — runs as a custom agent type that you define once. HOW IT WORKS Install the free Mobaide agent on your computer with one command. It prints a QR code: scan it in the app and you are paired. Your computer dials out to the Mobaide relay, so nothing on it has to be reachable from the internet. It works behind any router, NAT or firewall, on Wi-Fi or mobile data. FEATURES • A real terminal, not a log tail — full two-way terminal I/O, so arrow keys, Ctrl-C, plan mode and approval prompts work as they do at your desk. • Voice prompts — tap the mic and speak instead of typing. Your own computer turns the speech into text in 25 languages. Opt-in, and the audio is never stored. • Any agent, your way — define agent types from any command with any flags. They sit next to the built-in agents: up to 20 per account, synced across your devices. • Launch options — choose the model, reasoning effort, permissions, plan mode and an initial prompt for each Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity session. • Git in your pocket — read diffs, stage, discard and commit. Fetch, pull and push with live progress, rebase, resolve merge conflicts, and create or switch branches. • Parallel sessions — run up to 32 sessions at once on one computer. Optionally start a session in its own Git worktree, so parallel runs never collide. • Alerts — get a notification when Claude Code needs your approval or finishes its turn. • Reliable reconnect — every session keeps a rolling buffer of recent output, so a dropped connection replays it instead of losing it. • Raw shells — open your login shell or cmd.exe in any project folder. • Prompt templates and shortcuts — save prompts and control-key chords once, then use them in any session on every device. • Auto Scan — picks up issues from Linear, creates a Git worktree and starts Claude Code on each one. • Always running — the agent installs as a system service and restarts itself if it stops. • Also in your browser — sign in at app.mobaide.com to reach the same agents and sessions from any computer. • Your devices — see every paired device and revoke access at any time. PRIVACY AND SECURITY Through the relay, every connection is TLS-encrypted (WSS). Session traffic passes through the relay and is never stored. Mobaide does not resell or proxy any AI model: it launches the CLIs that you already installed and signed in to. FREE No subscription and no paywalled features. You bring your own agent access and your own computer. REQUIREMENTS • A Windows, macOS or Linux computer for the free Mobaide agent.

Your coding agents shouldn't stop just because you left your desk. Shahi turns the AI coding agents running on your own computer into a conversation on your phone. Read what they're doing like a chat, answer their questions with one tap, and start new work from anywhere, while your computer keeps going. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every agent at a glance: which ones are working, which are done, and which are waiting on you. Add as many computers as you like and switch between them. • Answer permission prompts and questions in one tap. Before anything is pressed, the answer is checked against the agent's live screen. • Read conversations as clean messages, with tool activity tucked away, subagents and task lists shown, and images inline, instead of a terminal squeezed onto a small screen. • Reply, attach photos and files, pick a slash command, or tap a quick reply. • See what an agent changed: the files and the diff, without leaving the conversation. • Start a new agent in any project, with the permission mode you choose. • Open the real terminal whenever you need it, with a key bar for the keys a phone lacks. • Preview files and PDFs from your computer. • Keep an eye on your Claude Code and Codex plan limits. WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP Shahi connects to herdr, the open-source terminal workspace for coding agents, on your own Mac or Linux computer, so your phone shows the same workspaces and agents as your desk. Reader works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode and Antigravity. Setup is one command on your computer and one QR scan; no VPN and no port forwarding. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • End-to-end encrypted. The relay that connects your phone to your computer can't read your conversations. • Prefer no third party at all? Connect over your own SSH instead. • Your code and conversations stay on your computer. There's no account to create. • Open source, under the MIT license. Available in English, Arabic and Spanish. WHAT YOU NEED A Mac or Linux computer running herdr with the free Shahi plugin. Get started at getshahi.dev.
