01 / CONTEXT
Your setup is elsewhere.
Your repositories, local tools, environment, and working knowledge live on your development machine, not on your phone.
YOUR DEV MACHINE, IN YOUR POCKET
Your Mac.
Your code.
From anywhere.
A private AI coding companion that lets you pick up your MacBook from your phone. Describe the bug. Let Claude work in your real environment. Review the fix. Push when you're ready.
Built for developers who don't want a production bug to wait until they're back at their desk.
01 / THE FRICTION
Production doesn't wait
for your laptop.
You're away from your desk. A user hits a broken flow. The code, environment, and tools you need are back on your Mac. Today, getting from alert to fix means finding a laptop, opening a project, and rebuilding context.
02 / INTERRUPTION
Small bugs become big delays.
A one-line fix can turn into hours of waiting because you need to get back to your desk before you can even investigate.
03 / CONTROL
Remote access is not a workflow.
Terminal windows on a small screen are awkward. Developers need a focused way to direct an agent, understand what it changed, and approve actions.
02 / THE IDEA
Your machine.
One conversation.
Tether connects a mobile chat to an agent running on a device you've registered. The agent works where your code already lives. You stay in control of what happens next.
01
Choose your devicePick your registered MacBook and repository.
02
Describe the problemChat naturally. Claude investigates the actual codebase.
03
Review the workSee progress, changed files, tests, and a readable diff.
04
Approve the next actionPush a branch when you explicitly say so. Deployment stays separate.
03 / DESIGNED FOR THE MOMENT
A focused interface.
A real development loop.
Not another full IDE squeezed into a phone. Tether is the control surface for work happening on your own machine, with just enough visibility to make confident decisions.
Your devices, one place
Register your Mac once. See whether it’s online, choose a repository, and start or resume a coding session.
Streaming agent chat
Follow Claude’s reasoning summaries, tool activity, and results as work progresses. Send the next instruction without juggling terminals.
Diffs before decisions
Understand which files changed and what tests ran before approving a commit or push.
Sessions that pick up
Return to a previous conversation and continue with its session context, while keeping Git state visible and explicit.
Push on your say-so
Branch pushes, pull requests, and production deploys are distinct actions with clear approval points.
Built around your machine
Use the tools and repositories already on your Mac. No need to clone your whole setup into another cloud workstation.
04 / THE EXPERIENCE
From “something broke”
to a reviewed fix.
A deliberate sequence keeps the experience calm and predictable, especially when you're handling a live incident from your phone.
STEP 01
Connect
Open Tether, select your registered Mac, and choose the project you’re working on.
STEP 02
Investigate
Describe the bug. The local agent inspects code, logs you provide, and relevant tests.
STEP 03
Review
Read the summary, inspect the diff, and confirm the checks that actually ran.
STEP 04
Ship deliberately
Approve a branch push. Review the preview and handle production deployment separately.
05 / TRUST BY DESIGN
Your machine stays yours.
Remote coding is powerful, so Tether is designed around clear boundaries. The Mac initiates its connection outward. The phone doesn't expose a public shell, and sensitive actions require deliberate approval.
Paired devices and authenticated connections.
Secrets stay on the registered machine.
Visible commands, changes, and tool activity.
Separate approval for push, deploy, and destructive actions.
Disconnect or revoke a device at any time.
EARLY ACCESS · MAC & IOS
Fix the bug.
Not your schedule.
Tether delivers seamless remote control over Claude Code and your local development machine. Inspect diffs, run test suites, and approve fixes wherever you are.
Zero open inbound ports. Direct encrypted peer-to-peer wire protocol over your existing Claude Code setup.
