About Maude

Maude lets you run coding agents on a server you own and drive them from an iPhone, iPad or Android phone. It supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok Build and Antigravity, and you can start a session with one and hand it to another, with the plan, files touched and git state passed along so the receiving agent can continue from the same point.

Setup is meant to need nothing to install by hand: you add a server by typing its address, pasting an ssh command or scanning a QR code, and any VPS, home server or Mac that accepts SSH connections works. Maude puts a small daemon of its own on the server, puts every agent on a version it has tested, then keeps everything updated. Sessions keep running when you close the app.

An inbox gathers permission prompts, questions, finished work and failures, with push notifications that let you allow or deny a command, and each session has files, git and terminal tabs to review the diff, commit and open a pull request. A 7-day free trial is offered.
