Agents

Run the AI agents you already use

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and the rest — running where your code already lives, controllable from your couch.

  • Full agent UI from your phone
  • No copying context between devices
  • Pick up the exact session you left

Terminal

A real terminal in your pocket

Run commands, restart services, tail logs. Not a sandbox, not a fake shell — the same machine you'd sit down to.

  • Full TTY, full PATH
  • Session keeps state across reconnects
  • Touch-optimized chord shortcuts

Localhost

Open your local apps from anywhere

Tunneled access to whatever's running on your machine — dev servers, dashboards, internal tools — without exposing them to the world.

  • Browse localhost from your phone
  • DevTools just work
  • Encrypted & private

Files

The same repos, the same files

Touch your actual project files — no sync conflicts, no "mobile version". Edit, commit, push, all on the source machine.

  • Real git, on the real repo
  • Supports TypeScipt, Python, Go & more.
  • Stage hunks from your thumb

All traffic is end-to-end encrypted — the relay never sees your data. The relay server is open source.

  • Data is encrypted on your device before it hits our server, and decrypted only on your phone. The relay just passes it through.

  • All traffic runs over TLS — no unencrypted connections at all.

  • Pairing is done by scanning a QR code that contains the encryption key. It's never transmitted through any network.

  • Every new device must be approved by you on the host before it can connect.

Download Shellular on your phone. Available for both iOS and Android

One command on your machine — it connects to the relay and prints a QR code.

Scan the QR code, approve the device on the host, and your full dev environment is in your pocket.

I was at the passport office for 3 hours today, and built a huge engineering feature. Love it man, absolutely love it.

I use Shellular to watch model training jobs on my GPU server, and to keep my Codex and Claude Code sessions going while I'm out. Not having to carry the laptop is the best part.

Shellular let me actually go out, hang with friends and chill in the park, and still feel unchained. Every agent session is right there no matter which folder, unlike some competitors.
