Remote for OpenCode Agents
Read full descriptionHide 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.

AI Agent Pager
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your coding agent hits a decision it cannot make alone. Instead of sitting in a terminal waiting for you, it sends a push to your phone. You tap an answer. It keeps going. Notifex is a pager and a decision inbox for AI agents. Any agent that speaks MCP can reach you through it: Cursor, n8n and any other MCP-compatible agent. What it does - Real questions, not just alerts. An agent can ask a single-select, multi-select or free-text question and wait for your answer. There is no timeout. - One tap to unblock. Your answer goes straight back to the agent and the run continues. - Messages too. Deploy finished. Tests are green. Status when you want it, questions when it matters. - Batches. A release checklist arrives as one notification you page through, not five separate pings. - One inbox per project. Switch between projects like mail. Every thread keeps its history. - Invite your team. Everyone gets the push, and the first answer wins. Setup One entry in your agent's MCP config: a URL and a project key. Nothing to install on your Mac. No daemon, no bridge, no pairing. Keys are per project and you can revoke them. What it is not Notifex does not mirror your terminal and does not need access to your machine. It carries the questions your agent chooses to ask, and the answers you send back. Free on iPhone.
