I've been a developer for many years, and ever since the first iPhone came out, I've always had this wish: "I want to do some development work on my smartphone."
Whether I'm lounging in bed 🛌, at a cafe ☕️, or on the train 🚃, I wanted a way to check my running processes or monitor AI agents without being glued to my desk.
That's why I built PocketCorder. It's not just a remote desktop app; it's optimized for developer workflows.
Key Features: ⚡️ Low Latency: Smooth control over Wi-Fi or Cloudflare Tunnel. 🔘 Command Shortcuts: Register frequently used commands and run them with a single tap. 🎯 App Focus Mode: View only the specific window you need (like Terminal or VS Code).
📲 Easy Setup: Connect instantly just by scanning a QR code.
Love the focus on dev workflows. Quick question: does App Focus Mode work with terminal multiplexers like tmux/screen? Would be perfect for checking logs on the go.
Congrats on the launch!
This solves a real pain point for remote dev work. I've been there—needing to tweak code while away from desk, and SSH/VNC feels like overkill for quick changes.
The smartphone control interface looks clean. Curious about latency—when you're running distributed systems or agent architectures that need real-time monitoring, even 200ms delay can break flow state. What's the typical response time over WiFi vs cellular?
Also, how are you handling secure authentication? For developers running production systems, any remote access tool needs bulletproof security. Excited to see more Mac automation tools built for the mobile-first workflow!
Wow, PocketCorder looks amazing! The one-tap command shortcuts are a game changer. How does the Cloudflare Tunnel handle different network configurations?
This is really fun. I think this will be really handy when you have to run a process during the nights and you are sleepy. But you can check and control from your bed.
