Get my Compute

Your agent asks a question. You answer from the bus

The agent runs on your Compute, so from the phone you only watch and answer. Find the terminal that needs you, reply in one line, check the result at its preview URL. A key bar and voice input come built in. $39 a month.

Phone apps go dark when the laptop sleeps

Remote-control apps relay to a session running somewhere. When somewhere is your laptop, closing the lid ends the conversation.

So the laptop rides in your backpack with the lid cracked open, or the agent stops when you leave the desk.

A day away from the desk

  1. 08:30

    Start at the desk

    Open a terminal in the project and hand the agent the task.

  2. 08:45

    Leave

    Close the laptop. The session stays on your Compute and keeps working.

  3. 11:20

    The agent needs you

    The tab goes quiet and the Terminals list marks it Needs you. Open the dashboard on your phone and answer.

  4. 18:00

    See the result on the phone

    Open the preview URL: the dev server, over HTTPS, private to you.

Your whole Compute in your pocket

  • The same session, pocket-sized

    Nothing runs on the phone. It shows the tmux session your laptop showed, with the full scrollback.

  • Keys and voice for the agent

    A key bar gives you Esc, Tab, the arrows and the agent's 1, 2, 3; dictation types the next prompt for you.

  • The app itself, over HTTPS

    Preview URLs open on the phone with hot reload, so you check the mobile layout on a real device.

  • One list for every agent

    Terminals mode shows the tabs of every project, and the one that needs you stands out at a glance, even on a small screen.

Questions about this

Do I need a special app?

No. The dashboard runs in your phone's browser; add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.

Can I type into the terminal from my phone?

Yes. The same terminal opens in your phone's browser, with a key bar above the keyboard and voice input for longer prompts.

Will my phone tell me when the agent needs me?

Yes. Turn on browser push or link Telegram in the dashboard, and your phone buzzes when a tab switches to Needs you. In Telegram the agent's menu comes as buttons, and a push brings its first choice to the lock screen: tap it and the agent carries on.

Your agent asks a question. You answer from the bus

Pick a size, hand the agent the job and close the tab. Come back to finished work.
