Episode 193: Codex & Claude Code On Your Phone
Introducing the OpenAgents Tricoder mobile app, enabling developers to easily use OpenAI Codex and Claude Code from their phone, anywhere in the world.
The app is live now in TestFlight, coming soon for Android, and 100% open-source under Apache 2.
How it works:
1. Download the app
2. Run a single npx command from your desktop and get a pairing QR code
3. Scan the QR code from the app and start chatting
"I'm excited for developers to experience what I experienced last week, where I had probably my single greatest daily increase in my own personal productivity just getting this working, walking around my house and talking to it."
Pairing devices can be done in either of two ways:
1. Local network -- Direct pairing over wifi, no accounts needed. Devices must stay nearby on the same network
2. @Tailscale VPN -- Enables you to stay connected anywhere. Leave your desktop on at home, use the mobile app from the grocery store. Just needs a free install of Tailscale on both devices. (Support for other VPNs coming soon)
The desktop bridge communicates with Claude Code and Codex via the amazing new Agent Client Protocol from @zeddotdev. We'll add support soon for @opencode and other agents as users request them.
Please forgive its very basic UI and inevitable bugs. The codebase is just <1 week old but now that the hard parts are done, we'll be rapidly adding features and polish based on user feedback.
For now this app can be a nice supplement to your desktop coding work. Over the coming months, we're excited to explore replacing old-fashioned IDEs altogether.
Much more to come. Please send us feedback-- and stay tuned!
