AgentPager — Mobile Command Center for Coding Agents

Let developers securely control local coding agents from their phones

Problem

Developers increasingly run Claude Code, Codex, and similar agents on their Mac or Linux machines, but the moment they leave the desk they lose visibility and control. Existing options require painful SSH key sharing, VPN setup on every new device, or fragmented mobile apps, so long-running agent tasks force people to stay tethered to their computers.

Solution

A lightweight mobile control layer that pairs with your host via a one-time QR code and opens an encrypted tunnel. From the phone you can watch live logs, approve dangerous actions, send follow-up instructions, or pause the agent. The focus is zero-config connection and safe action confirmation, not another full IDE.

Users

Indie developers, remote workers, and small-team tech leads who run coding agents on personal machines and often step away from their desks.

MVP

Phone view of agent task status and incremental logs; push notifications when human approval is needed; one-tap approve/deny/append instruction; QR-code pairing for encrypted channel; minimal adapters for both Claude Code and Codex.

Revenue

Free tier limited to one host and short history; subscription unlocks multiple hosts, audit logs, and custom notification policies.

Why now

Coding agents are shifting from IDE plugins to always-on background tasks, yet mobile control remains an unsolved gap. Self-hosted tunnels and push infrastructure are costly for small teams, so a focused solo developer can win with a single encrypted channel and a simple UI.
