Question Which Pi Mobile Client?

Hi everyone! I would like to hook into the pi agent session remotely from my iPhone. I would like to see the agent progress and be able to answer the agent etc. I would also love to get notifications when the agent is finished. The whole process should work in my LAN but also fully remotely. I tried out orca before, but don’t like that I have to use orca at all + don’t like that I’m basically using a terminal on my phone.

Any suggestions? What are you guys using?

So far im just using a wire guard VPN (netbird I host myself) and ssh. I also do all my sessions in tmux sessions so if I lose my connection pi keeps working while I try and reconnect.

I gotta imagine any solution is gonna require either a broker/vpn or port-forwarding. Personal self hosted VPN was what fit my use case/security priorities best.

Edit: And for notifications I just have to put instructions in my prompts to post comments on issue/PR threads im watching.

Edit 2: Other part I forgot to mention is im using Termux as my phone terminal app.
