Remote Coding Agents from iPhone

Let developers drive Claude Code, Codex, and friends on a remote box from an iPhone with tmux.

In plain English

People who write software can steer AI coding helpers from an iPhone, using an app by Piotr Stapp, even away from a desk. The helpers run on another computer, and the phone connects so the work can continue. A paid Pro version keeps the phone and that computer lined up and adds convenience. Piotr shows the app on X to people who build small products on their own, and he is careful with secret keys. The app does a lot of the connection and the billing, but Piotr still does plenty on how the app feels, key safety, and talks with other builders.
