Remote for OpenCode Agents

Features
Read full description

Run OpenCode on your Mac, then connect with this client from anywhere to get the full OpenCode harness. Remote for OpenCode connects your iPhone to the OpenCode coding agent running on your own Mac, so you can start work, watch it happen, and approve what it wants to do, from the sofa, the bus, or anywhere else. ZERO NETWORK SETUP No VPN, no port forwarding, no IP addresses to type. Your devices find each other through your own iCloud account and talk directly, end-to-end encrypted. There is no server in the middle because there is no server at all. YOUR CODE STAYS YOURS The agent runs on your Mac, against your repositories, using your model credentials, which never leave it. Nothing is collected, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. APPROVE FROM ANYWHERE When the agent wants to run a command, you see the exact command and decide. Risky actions look different from routine ones, so a destructive command never gets waved through out of habit. Face ID confirms it's you. PLAN MODE Switch the agent to Plan mode and it cannot edit anything at all, explore a codebase and get a plan back with a hard guarantee that nothing changed. REVIEW BEFORE YOU SIGN OFF See every accumulated change with per-file diffs, either against your last commit or against your default branch, the way a reviewer would. ALSO - Watch the agent think, live - Dictate prompts, transcribed on-device - Send screenshots and files as context - Run your own slash commands - Pick any model your OpenCode is configured with OPEN SOURCE The iPhone app, the Mac companion, and the protocol between them are public at github.com/tjameswilliams/remote-for-opencode under the PolyForm Noncommercial license.

About

Pragma Sh Go

Features
Read full description

Pragma Go is the mobile companion to Pragma, the desktop workspace for running coding agents in parallel. Pair it with Pragma on your Mac, Linux, or Windows computer and take your whole workspace with you: every project, worktree, agent, and terminal, live. REAL TERMINALS Open a shell on your computer and type into it. A terminal you open on the phone is a real tab: it shows up on the desktop too and survives a restart. A key bar adds the keys a phone keyboard lacks (ctrl, esc, tab, ^C, and the arrows). The phone borrows the terminal's size while you look and hands it back when you leave, so your desktop layout is never disturbed. A dropped connection picks up where it left off, and a keystroke is never sent twice. LAUNCH AND STEER AGENTS Create worktrees and launch Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, and other agents, picking the model and reasoning effort for each. Follow a session as a chat or switch to its raw terminal. Answer agent questions and approve commands, the same prompts the desktop shows, from wherever you are. FAN OUT Send one prompt to several agents at once and compare the attempts side by side. Swipe between them, read every file each one changed, send follow-ups to all of them or just one, and pick the winner to merge. COMMIT & PULL REQUEST Tap once to have AI group your changes into logical commits, then review the title, description, and base branch before anything is pushed. Your computer runs the job, not your phone: locking the screen or losing signal won't cancel it or start it twice. PROJECT SCRIPTS AND PORTS Start your dev server or any project script with a tap, and stop it the same way. See which ports your worktree is listening on and open them in your phone's browser through your own tunnel, with a design mode for pointing at an element and asking an agent to change it. FILES, DIFFS, AND SCRATCHPADS Browse a worktree's files with syntax highlighting, read diffs, and read and comment on the scratchpads and whiteboards your agents write. ACCOUNTS AND USAGE See every agent account's plan usage and when it resets, and switch which account an agent launches with. WIDGETS AND NOTIFICATIONS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show agents waiting on you, live agent status, pending approvals, and your projects. Push notifications tell you when an agent finishes or needs an answer, and stay quiet while you're at your desk. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pragma Go talks only to your own computer, over a tunnel you control. Pair it by scanning a QR code, and every request needs your device's token. Your code never passes through Pragma's servers. Requires the free Pragma desktop app (macOS, Linux, or Windows), available at pragma.sh.
