About Zedra – Remote control for AI coding agents

Zedra is an open-source, mobile-first remote control for AI coding agents. It transforms your phone into a developer workspace with a real terminal, code editor, file browser, git diff viewer, and Markdown preview—all connected via a direct, end-to-end encrypted P2P tunnel (QUIC/UDP) to the daemon running on your desktop. No VPN or port forwarding required. Pair once via QR code, then reconnect seamlessly across network changes. Zedra supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, and Hermes natively, and works with any CLI-based agent. Built on Zed's GPUI framework for high-performance rendering, it is MIT-licensed and available on iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, and Windows.
