  • Works across six agent CLIs, not just one vendor
  • No account or cloud service required

Look elsewhere if: Developers who want a polished commercial iOS app or do not use tmux (Claude Code remote access).

Solo developers and freelancers on Apple silicon Macs who let AI coding agents run commands on their own machine.

  • Trial needs no card and does not auto-convert
  • Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI and more
