Cli.nt
Remote AI coding sessions.
$9.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your AI coding workspace, available anywhere.
Requires a desktop companion running on windows or Mac, plus a supported AI coding CLI configured on the same machine. AI model/API access is provided by the user’s own accounts and API keys.
Cli.nt lets you start, manage, and supervise AI coding sessions from your iPhone or iPad while your Mac, PC, or Linux machine does the work. Review diffs, approve actions, and stay connected to long-running coding tasks without being stuck at your desk waiting for AI to finish.
Whether you’re on the couch, commuting, doing chores, or away from your computer entirely, Cli.nt gives you a native mobile interface for long-running coding sessions.
AI coding sessions shouldn’t disappear with a terminal tab. Cli.nt gives you a persistent workspace where you can return to active and previous sessions, pick up where you left off, and manage multiple projects from anywhere.
Approve every action
Users can require approval before execution. Review diffs inline, and choose whether to allow, deny, or always allow trusted actions.
Features
• Persistent sessions — reconnect anytime without losing context
• Approval workflow — review and approve edits and commands before execution
• Diff viewer — inspect code changes inline
• Streaming responses — watch responses stream in real time
• Multiple projects — switch between coding sessions with ease
• File browser — open and inspect project files from your phone
• Photo attachments — send screenshots and design references directly from your device
• Tailscale support — securely connect to your machine from anywhere
Your code and conversations stay between your phone and your computer. No accounts, no analytics, and no cloud storage. AI tools run locally on your own machine using your own API keys — Cli.nt simply keeps you connected.
Built for developers who don’t want to babysit AI
Cli.nt is designed for asynchronous coding workflows. Return to a chat on your phone, send an prompt and come back when the AI is ready for you. Perfect for developers balancing work, family, ideas, and everything else life throws at them.
Current support
Cli.nt currently supports Claude Code running locally on your Mac or Windows machine, with support for additional AI coding tools and CLIs planned for future updates.
Cli.nt requires the free desktop companion for Mac, Windows, or Linux, plus a supported AI coding CLI running on the same machine. AI model/API access is provided by the user’s own accounts and API keys. Download the desktop companion at formestry.com/downloads.
