@twodayslate @twostraws mines been sitting for like 5 days which is unusual for an update. Curious if Apple segments based on app category? I'm developer tools. which category was yours?

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

Major updates in this one! Mac is always free!

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

Definitely feel like the AI companies are just trying to increase token count (💰💰💰) with the whole Fable/“don’t pay attention to your agent” thing. When I’m working I PREFER to pay attention. I can’t manage 10 different things at once (and have any idea what’s going on)

@mykolaharmash Cool

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

@kzzzf Pretty cool man!

Sneak peek of an unreleased Remote Codetrol feature.

Multi-agent build on a headless Pi → live preview on my MacBook. No tunnels, no config.

Also works on mobile.

Try that with the Claude app.

Most apps treat the iPad like a big-screen iPhone.

Remote Codetrol just released an iPad-optimized workspace for managing AI coding agents from anywhere.

Phone, iPad, Mac. Pick your screen!

When Claude sends you a wall of text, how do you pinpoint exactly what to change? With Claude Desktop, you get a text field. Good luck.

Remote Codetrol lets you leave feedback inline — on responses or any markdown file. More precision, better output.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

Claude Desktop’s autosend lets you queue ONE thing. Got a laundry list? It batches your next two tasks into one message. That’s not a queue. That’s a pile.

Remote Codetrol sends each task atomically after the previous finishes. No batching. No surprises.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

Every tool call your agent makes is tracked. Strict permissions, full YOLO, or anywhere in between — and you can hot-reload mid-session without killing anything.

Same muscle memory across every supported provider. Trust on your terms.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

Claude’s “Remote Control” only works one device at a time, and you can’t start sessions from mobile. Other tools route through Telegram or WhatsApp.

Remote Codetrol gives you full access from any device. Start sessions from your phone. End-to-end encrypted, no middlemen.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

Why marry one provider? Remote Codetrol works with Claude, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, Ollama, GLM, MiniMax, OpenClaw — Kimi and Perplexity coming soon.

One vendor goes down? Add another agent to your session and keep the work rolling.

@Solvth_ @cyrilXBT 😂😂😂 #Respectfully

The workflows I create are fairly vanilla and lean very much "human-in-the-loop". But the cool thing is that you can give your agent whatever skills you want it to have and then build out extremely powerful workflows that can automate...just about anything.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

I still like to press the buttons and dictate what the agents do. I keep them on a pretty tight leash. I don't do a ton of MCPs or pull in a ton of agent skills. I pull in the minimum tools I need for the task and prefer chaining "testable" scripts with minimal agent discretion.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

AI agents are pretty decent at running tasks, but real work comes with real decisions, and I'm a little bit on the paranoid side when it comes to letting the agents do too much.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

Last week made a pretty big update to @remotecodetrol

You can now build full workflows--with branching, input, and a live tracker. In true RCtrl fashion, you can run (and build) them from your phone. Also included a "built-in" agent skill so your agent can build them for you.

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

@ekemini58110 anytime!

[Eric @ecolesthedev]

This is why you have to be careful with coding agents:

(This is iOS specific)

Working on a feature for Remote Codetrol I asked it to preserve the state of a view when I navigated forward or changed tabs.
