Developer Tools
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
See your Copilot activity live from your phone. Track sessions, prompts, tools, and progress in real time, with zero setup after sign-in.
Penny puts your VS Code in your pocket.
Install the free Penny extension in VS Code, pair it with this app in seconds, and you're coding from anywhere: the couch, the commute, or the coffee shop.
CHAT WITH GITHUB COPILOT
Send natural-language prompts to your VS Code instances and get AI-powered responses straight to your phone. Penny works with GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, o3-mini, and every model your Copilot subscription supports.
MANAGE MULTIPLE INSTANCES
Running VS Code at home and at the office? Switch between instances instantly and keep all of them visible from a single screen.
REAL-TIME CONNECTION
Penny uses a secure WebSocket relay so your phone and VS Code stay in sync. Commands execute in real time, no polling, no delays.
SIMPLE SETUP
1. Install the Penny extension from the VS Code Marketplace (free)
2. Sign in with your GitHub account on both devices
3. Pair your phone using the 6-character link code and you are done

Added a new live activity timeline for Copilot sessions, so the mobile app can show what your PC is doing in near real time. The backend now ingests OpenTelemetry traces, the VS Code extension auto-configures the connection after login, and the app includes updated release versioning plus deployment fixes.
