Control 1DevTool From Your Phone

Use Remote Control to browse files, run agents, review diffs, send HTTP requests, and query databases on your dev machine — from your phone.

Remote Control turns your phone into a window onto the machine where 1DevTool is running. Kick off an agent from the couch, review a diff on the train, or reply to a prompt that's been waiting for your input — without opening your laptop. Everything runs on your own machine; your phone is just the remote.

Turning It On

Remote Control is served over a secure Cloudflare tunnel, so you don't have to expose any ports or set up a VPN.

  1. On the desktop, open Remote Control from the status bar and enable it.
  2. 1DevTool generates a private URL and a QR code. Scan the code with your phone, or open the URL in your mobile browser.
  3. Sign in when prompted. The connection stays tied to your machine — only you can reach it.

Once connected, your projects appear on the phone exactly as they're organized on the desktop. Tap one to drop into its workspace.

What You Can Do From Your Phone

Remote Control mirrors the parts of 1DevTool that matter when you're away from the keyboard.

Prompt and steer your AI agents

Open any project's terminal, read the agent's latest output, and send a new prompt — including agents that have been sitting idle waiting for your go-ahead. You can:

  • Scroll and copy terminal text in a mobile-friendly reader mode
  • Attach an image from your phone straight into the prompt
  • Mention a file in the repo so the agent has the right context
  • Reuse a past prompt from your prompt history

Review code and ship with Git

Browse the project's files, open a commit's details, and review diffs on your phone. When a change looks good, stage it, write a message, and push — a full source-control loop from the palm of your hand.

Test APIs and query databases

Send an HTTP request and inspect the response, or run a database query, using the same collections and connections you've set up on the desktop. Requests you save stay in sync between phone and desktop.

Schedule a prompt for later

Queue an Agent Input prompt to fire on a timer, at a specific time, or at the next quota reset — so a long task can start while you're away and be ready when you get back.

Notifications

Turn on activity notifications and your phone lets you know when an agent finishes, needs input, or a long-running command completes — so you don't have to keep the app open to know when to step back in.

Permissions

Remote Control respects the operator permissions you set on the desktop, so you decide how much a remote session is allowed to do. If you share a machine or run agents you'd rather keep read-only from the phone, tighten those settings before you connect.
