About

Skulk Operator

Read full description

Skulk Operator is the native remote control for a user-owned Skulk distributed AI cluster. Pair the app with a cluster to: • View cluster health, topology, memory utilization, and node status. • Browse the model catalog and the cluster’s canonical model store. • Inspect model availability across nodes and preview recommended placement. • Place models on compatible compute and stop running instances. • Chat with ready text models while keeping conversation history on this device. • Track downloads, placement, loading, and other operator activity. • Review connection status and paired devices. The normal remote path uses an end-to-end encrypted relay. Foxlight’s relay forwards encrypted traffic without access to operator commands, model details, prompts, or responses. Credentials use platform secure storage, and conversation history remains device-local. Skulk Operator does not download or run AI models on your iPhone or iPad. A separately installed and running Skulk cluster is required. Skulk is free and open-source software.

About

Claude Code AI Agent

Features
Read 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: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Cursor, n8n and others. 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.
