no account. no cloud, just your terminal on your phone. chat with agents, review diffs, approve commands, manage PRs -- all without a third party in between.
new here? do the 5-minute setup (host install + pairing)
brew tap diab-ma/pseudocoder-host https://github.com/diab-ma/pseudocoder-host && brew install pseudocoder
how it works
run a single command to install the open-source host CLI on your mac or linux machine.
open the app, scan the pairing code. your phone connects directly to your machine -- no account needed.
monitor terminals, review diffs, approve commands, commit, push, create PRs, edit files, and keep your mac awake -- all from your pocket.
built for control
review diffs, approve commands, undo mistakes, and manage git -- all from your phone.
host (open source)a small Golang binary runs on your machine for low-latency streaming.
zero-cloud architectureyour phone connects directly over tailscale or lan.
git-native workflowfull git sub-tabs: commit, branch, PR, sync.
positioning
SSH gives you a raw terminal. pseudocoder gives you diff review cards, command approval flows, and one-tap git operations -- purpose-built for mobile.
remote desktop mirrors your whole screen over the internet. pseudocoder streams only what matters over your local network -- no lag, no cloud, no squinting.
cloud IDEs run your code on someone else's machine. pseudocoder keeps everything local -- your machine, your network, your keys. nothing leaves your control.
pseudocoder is a mobile app that connects directly to your dev machine. monitor terminals, review diffs, manage PRs, edit files, and keep your mac awake -- no cloud, no account, no signup.
install the open-source host on your machine, scan a qr code, and you're connected. your phone talks directly to your machine over tailscale or local network. or try demo mode to explore without installing anything.
anything that runs in your terminal runs in pseudocoder. we recommend claude code and opencode as those have the most functionality and optimization for running CLI coding tools in smaller windows. you can also attach to existing tmux sessions and pickup right where you left off.
no. there's no account, no signup, no email required. you install the host, scan a qr code, and you're connected. we don't run any relay servers, so there's nothing to sign up for.
your terminal traffic never touches our servers, because we dont have any. your phone connects directly to your machine over tailscale or local network with no cloud relay in between. all connections use TLS encryption and require explicit device pairing. you can revoke any device at any time.
the host cli runs on macos, linux, and windows (via wsl). the mobile app is available for ios on the app store and coming soon to android via the play store.
yes. demo mode lets you explore the full interface with a seeded workspace -- no host install, no pairing required. open the app and tap "try demo" to get started.
yes. keep-awake prevents your mac from sleeping during active sessions. it respects battery level and auto-disables below a configurable threshold.
pseudocoder is completely open source and free for life.
