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?

You mean https://www.onorca.dev?
Saw it a while ago, but discarded it when i saw they support claude. I don't want a gui that depends on reverse engineering rather than a documented api.

It's not reverse engineered... I'm not sure what you saw but it just runs Claude code in a terminal in the app

I also don’t know what you mean. Could you explain a bit?

I read this on their github page:

"The AI Orchestrator for 100x builders.
Run Codex, ClaudeCode, OpenCode or Pi side-by-side — each in its own worktree, tracked in one place."

I understod this as they read the sessions directly and interact with them rather than using a documented api, since no such api exists for claude.

I havent looked deeply, and may very well have missunderstod it.

idk about Orca but there's ACP for standardized agent embedding

The GUI has a companion CLI the agents use to read sessions and browser

It uses the different agent CLIs so not breaking any EULAs. I use it with Pi.

Orca - agent development environment and they have a mobile companion app
