Full terminal output streamed in real-time. Every character appears on your iPhone as it prints on your Mac. Perfect for watching agents work through complex tasks.

02

Bandwidth Aware

Your iPhone shows a unique animation per agent with a live character counter ticking up. When the agent finishes, the full result is delivered instantly. Minimal data usage.

03

Silent Mode

The agent runs quietly on your Mac. Only the final output is sent when the session completes. Check results at your convenience — nothing streamed in between.
