Show HN: Pocket – run coding agents locally or in the cloud, from your phone

2 yayasoumah 0 8/29/2025, 11:47:58 AM pocket-agent.xyz ↗

I quietly launched Pocket this week — a mobile interface to run and manage coding agents directly on your machine or in the cloud. Think Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini, but accessible from your phone.

Why I built this: I often had ideas while away from my computer, and wanted a way to trigger agents, review results, and manage workflows remotely. Pocket bridges that gap by pairing with your own Pocket Server (open source).

In the first 48 hours after launch: - ~150 GitHub stars - ~2k unique visitors - ~400 app installs on TestFlight

Would love feedback from the HN community on: 1. Which use cases resonate most (remote coding, debugging, deployments, etc.) 2. Where this should go next (cloud agent marketplace? deeper local workflows?)
