hob mobile vs OpenAB Remote

hob mobile is the phone companion to hob, the professional workspace for your whole agent stack. Manage your agents, reply to them, and approve their work when you are away from your desk. Requires hob on your computer (macOS, Windows, or Linux). Get it at hob.dev. MANAGE YOUR AGENTS FROM ANYWHERE Your agents keep running on your computer. See every project and every agent. The inbox shows which agents are working, which need your attention, and which finished work is waiting for review. REPLY BY VOICE OR TEXT Read the full conversation with each agent. Send the next instruction by typing, or record a voice message. APPROVE WITHOUT GOING BACK TO YOUR DESK When an agent asks a question or needs permission, answer it from your phone and the agent continues. START A NEW AGENT IN SECONDS Pick a project and a model, describe the task, and the agent starts on your computer. GET NOTIFIED WHEN AN AGENT IS DONE Get a notification when an agent finishes its turn, waits for your approval, or reports an error. Tap it to open that agent. RUN COMMANDS ON YOUR COMPUTER Open your terminals and run commands from your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pair your phone by scanning a QR code in hob, then approve the device once on your computer. Connect on your local network, or over the internet through the hob relay. hob never opens ports on your computer to the public internet. With hob mobile, you can: • See all your agents and projects in one inbox • Reply by voice or text • Answer questions and approve requests • Start new agents • Get notified when agents finish or need you • Run commands in your terminals Works with the agents you already use in hob, such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. ——— Privacy Policy: https://hob.dev/privacy © 2026 SmartAppsCo LLC

OpenAB Remote turns your iPhone into a private push-to-talk remote and terminal client for OpenAB Connect. Pair with your Mac over the local network, dictate with on-device speech recognition, and send only terminal-safe text to the selected session. Import your own runtime connections from OpenAB Connect, browse live sessions, and attach directly over your own Tailscale network. Choose your speech engine: Apple's on-device recognition (no download), or optionally download Whisper (OpenAI, MIT) or SenseVoice (Alibaba FunASR) to run on this iPhone — SenseVoice is recommended for Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and Korean. • On-device push-to-talk transcription • Direct terminal session attach and resume • Remembered, encrypted nearby pairing • Explicit Auto-Enter permission • No account, analytics, advertising, or telemetry • Optional Whisper engine: download an open-source model once (MIT) and run it fully on-device • Fully offline Demo Mode for evaluation OpenAB Remote talks only to your Mac and infrastructure — plus, only if you choose the Whisper engine, a one-time model download from Hugging Face. Your speech, credentials, and terminal sessions are not sent to an OpenAB service.
