Full description
AFK is a remote desktop app that connects your phone to your computer — built specifically for AI-assisted development. Modern coding is about directing AI agents, reviewing their output, and verifying results. AFK lets you do this from anywhere: your couch, your bed, or your favorite coffee shop. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free companion app (AFK Host) 2. Pair your phone once 3. Connect anytime over WiFi or cellular 4. Voice-command your AI tools and watch the magic happen VOICE-FIRST DESIGN Typing prompts on a phone keyboard is painful. AFK uses push-to-talk voice input optimized for natural language instructions. Just hold, speak your command, and release. Your words go straight to Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI tool you're using. INSTANT WINDOW SWITCHING Vibe coding means jumping between apps — terminal, browser, simulator, diff viewer. AFK gives you quick-switch buttons to instantly focus the window you need. No squinting at a shrunken desktop or hunting for tiny window edges. LOW LATENCY STREAMING WebRTC peer-to-peer connection means everything feels immediate. Scrolling, tapping, voice — no lag, no stutter. Works great on WiFi and surprisingly well on cellular. YOUR REAL ENVIRONMENT This isn't a sandboxed cloud IDE. It's your actual Mac — your configs, your tools, your local databases, your running services. Everything you've set up, accessible from your pocket. WORKS WITH ANY AI TOOL • Claude Code • Cursor • GitHub Copilot • Windsurf • Aider • VS Code • Xcode • Terminal • Any app on your Mac FEATURES • Push-to-talk voice transcription • Touch-optimized virtual keyboard • Sticky modifier keys (Cmd, Option, Control) • Customizable shortcut grid • Smart window management • Paste from phone clipboard • Gesture support • Secure device pairing • No account required REQUIREMENTS • Companion app (AFK Host) - free download from https://afkdev.app • Works over any network after pairing PRIVACY AFK remote access directly and encrypted to your computer with no servers in between. Device credentials are stored securely. Perfect for developers who want to stay productive without being chained to their desk. Code review from the couch. Run tests from the kitchen. Ship features from anywhere.
