Mobile companions for Mac AI agents
These are mobile companion apps that let developers remotely monitor and control AI coding agents running on their Mac, including chat, runs, and git actions. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only 3 entries predate the index. Traction leadership is led by lody-ios with 91 stars, followed by dsh-ios-app (4 stars) and pingvi (0 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
