Could you build this?
Partial Creating a mobile UI client is straightforward, but orchestrating low-latency, secure remote terminal sessions and dev tunnels directly to arbitrary local CLI agents through mobile networks requires robust networking and native terminal emulation.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native mobile app (React Native/Kotlin/Swift) with a robust terminal emulator, an SSH or encrypted WebSocket tunnel service (like Tailscale/WireGuard or custom relay), and a companion daemon running on the host machine. The hard part is managing unstable mobile connections, seamless reconnection, process persistence, and multiplexing multiple agent streams reliably.
Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: paseo.sh (Mac and iPhone app, open source, works with many agents), Codex Relay App (works with one host), Claude Remote Control (CRC)
Concerns raised: Sessions don't sync across CLI and mobile app, Sharp edges and rough user experience, Build failing due to missing build.json, Can't reconnect after app closure/updates, Model selection shows wrong agent (Opus instead of Fable)
Feature requests: Mac app (in addition to web app), Sub-agent chat history visibility, Consistent sub-agent display across screens with toggle to show/hide, Terminal messages appear in mobile app when chatting via Shellular, Slash commands in mobile app (compacting, clearing)

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
