Desktop Companion

Pair your phone
with your computer.

The companion runs on your computer so the iCoderAgent app on your iPhone or iPad can build, test, run, read and write a real project โ€” with your machine's full toolchain (compilers, npm, pytest, git). It connects over a secure relay: no inbound ports, nothing exposed.

Download companion software and install it in your remote machine.

๐Ÿ”’ Secure relay โ€” no open ports ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Your machine's real toolchain ๐Ÿ“ Confined to one workspace

Install in three steps

No Terminal, no dependencies โ€” the app bundles its own Python runtime.

1๏ธโƒฃ

Open the installer

macOS: open the signed, notarized .dmg (no Gatekeeper warning). Windows: run the .exe. Linux: chmod +x the .AppImage and launch it.

2๏ธโƒฃ

Launch the companion

Open iCoder Companion. On macOS it lives in the menu bar; on Windows and Linux it opens a small window with a tray icon.

3๏ธโƒฃ

Sign in to pair

Sign in with the same account as the iOS app and pick a workspace folder. Your computer then appears as a host in the app.

Private & sandboxed

The companion only does what you point it at.

๐Ÿ”

Dial-out only

The companion connects outward to the relay โ€” it never opens a listening port on your computer and nothing is exposed to the internet.

๐Ÿ“‚

One workspace

Every file read, write and command is confined to the workspace folder you choose. Paths that try to escape it are rejected.

๐Ÿงพ

Open by design

The companion is a thin Python script wrapped in a small native app โ€” no telemetry, no background uploads. Read the privacy policy.

Requirements

๐Ÿ’ป

macOS 12+, Windows 10+, or Linux

Native installers for all three. The Python runtime is bundled โ€” you don't need to install anything else.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

The iOS app

The companion has no UI of its own beyond pairing โ€” it's driven from iCoderAgent on iPhone or iPad.

๐ŸชŸ

Windows note

The Windows installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" โ€” click More info โ†’ Run anyway.
