Agent Remote Control

About Agent Remote Control

Your AI agent keeps working. You keep living. ☕

Agent Remote streams everything your AI coding agent does in VS Code straight to your phone, live. Send it new prompts from the couch. Approve actions from the kitchen. Get a push notification the moment the job is done.

No account for your data. No cloud relay storing your code. Your phone talks directly to your VS Code through a secure tunnel that exists only while VS Code is open.

💡 Requires a one-time license that activates the extension on one machine for life. The extension is free to install; you activate it from the sidebar. Get your key →

✨ What it does

🤖 Supported agents

• Claude Code — panel & terminal modes
• GitHub Copilot Chat
• Codex — OpenAI ChatGPT extension
• Gemini Code Assist & Cursor — experimental

All installed agents are detected automatically and can run at the same time. See the up-to-date list at agent-remote-site.vercel.app.

🚀 Getting started

1. Install Agent Remote and reload VS Code.
2. Open the Agent Remote panel from the activity bar (the phone-with-spark icon).
3. Click "Get your key →", which opens agent-remote-site.vercel.app. Complete the one-time purchase — your key appears on screen and is emailed to you.
4. Paste the key (AR-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) into the panel and click Activate. The license binds to this machine.
5. A QR code appears. Scan it with your phone's camera.
6. When your browser offers it, Add to Home Screen — Agent Remote is a full PWA and runs like a native app.
7. Ask your agent to do something big, put your PC down, and walk away. Everything shows up on your phone.

📱 Using it day to day

• Type on your phone → the message appears in the agent's chat panel in VS Code and submits itself. The response streams back to your phone.
• Permission prompt? A card pops up on your phone with Allow / Deny — tap it and the agent continues, even while you're away from the desk.
• Screen locked? You still get a push notification when the agent finishes or needs you.
• Two agents running? Use the picker above the message box to send to a specific one, or leave it on Auto (routes to whichever was most recently active).

🔒 Privacy & security

• Your code and conversations travel directly between your phone and your VS Code over an ephemeral, TLS-encrypted tunnel with an unguessable URL.
• Your chats are never stored on any server. History lives in memory inside VS Code and disappears when you close it.
• Push notifications are sent from your own machine via Web Push — not through a third-party notification service.
• The license service stores only your email, license key, and a one-way hash of your machine ID — never your code.
• Close VS Code and the tunnel closes with it. Nothing stays reachable.

✅ Requirements

• VS Code 1.85 or newer.
• At least one supported AI coding assistant installed (see the compatibility list on the site).
• Windows for fully automatic message submit. On macOS/Linux the message is pre-filled in the agent panel and you press Enter (full auto-submit is on the roadmap).
• A modern phone browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge) for the PWA.

🛠 Commands

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P) and type "Agent Remote":

❓ FAQ

Does my phone need to be on the same Wi-Fi? No. The tunnel works over the internet — control your agent from anywhere in the world.

Do I need to keep the website or any app running? No. Just VS Code. The phone connects to a PWA you install once; there's no background service.

One license — how many machines? One machine per key. Need another machine? Buy another key.

I reinstalled VS Code / the extension — do I lose my license? No. Re-activate with the same key on the same machine and it works instantly (offline-verified).

Is my code sent to your servers? Never. Only your phone and your VS Code see it, over a direct encrypted tunnel.

🧰 Troubleshooting

• Phone won't connect after scanning — tap Restart Tunnel in the panel and scan the fresh QR. Tunnel URLs rotate each session.
• Message pre-fills but doesn't send (macOS/Linux) — press Enter in the panel; auto-submit is Windows-only today.
• "Already activated on another machine" — each key is bound to one machine. Use the machine you first activated on, or purchase an additional key.
• No push notifications — allow notifications for the PWA when prompted, and add it to your home screen.
