Remote iOS client for Codex and Cursor—approve actions and follow threads away from your desk.
Problem
AI coding sessions live on the desktop. When you step away, you lose visibility into active threads and can't approve tool actions—blocking async developer workflows.
Product thinking
Position as a lightweight remote control for existing Codex/Cursor sessions—not a replacement IDE on mobile.
User pain
- Sessions stall when you're away from Mac/Windows
- No mobile surface for approving agent actions safely
- Fragile connections break flow on unreliable networks
Design decisions
- Chat-first remote view with explicit action approval
- Reconnection-aware session state for mobile networks
- Pro tier for higher limits without blocking core remote access narrative
Technical architecture
iOS client connecting to Codex server on desktop; thread sync, output streaming, and approval handshake over resilient transport.
Learnings
Developer mobile tools must feel trustworthy under disconnects—latency and retry UX matter as much as feature breadth.
Outcome
Live on the App Store (v1.0.4+) with Pro monthly/annual subscriptions. Closes the loop between desktop AI sessions and on-the-go product builders.
