What it solves

Remodex provides a way to remotely control AI coding tools like Codex and OpenCode from an iPhone. It solves the problem of needing to be at a Mac to interact with an AI coding agent, allowing users to steer active runs, manage Git actions, and monitor progress from their mobile device while the actual coding runtime remains on the local machine.

How it works

Remodex uses a local-first architecture consisting of an iOS app and a bridge service installed on a Mac. The bridge connects to the AI coding tool (via JSON-RPC) and a relay server (via WebSockets). The iPhone pairs with the Mac using a one-time QR code scan, establishing an end-to-end encrypted session. Once paired, the phone sends instructions to the bridge, which then executes them on the Mac and streams the results back to the phone in real-time.

Who it’s for

Developers who use Codex or OpenCode and want the ability to monitor and control their AI-driven coding tasks, perform Git operations, and manage subagents from their iPhone.

Highlights

• Remote Control: Steer active AI runs, queue follow-up prompts, and use subagents via the /subagents command.
• Git Integration: Perform commit, push, pull, and branch switching directly from the phone.
• Secure Pairing: End-to-end encrypted communication established via a one-time QR bootstrap.
• Local-First: Keeps the coding runtime and credentials on the Mac; the iOS app does not embed public hosted endpoints.
• Reasoning Controls: Ability to tune the amount of "thinking" the AI uses.
• macOS Integration: Background bridge service via launchd for automatic reconnects and live streaming.
