What is Inyon?

Inyon is a phone remote for coding agents already running in tmux: each session appears as a chat, and permission prompts and questions arrive as buttons whose tap is typed into the same terminal pane.

Install the 2.9 MB Android app, run one line on each computer, and scan the code it prints — nothing to host. It is open source under MIT, free with no account, and a small hub on one of your machines can serve the same experience in any browser.

Key features

  • Every agent session appears as a chat, with replies, tool calls, diffs, plans and to-dos
  • Permission prompts and questions arrive as buttons whose tap is typed into the terminal
  • Steer the agent — switch model, effort and permission mode, set goals, compact or rewind
  • Watch model, context, cost and lines changed, plus 5-hour and weekly plan limits
  • Review files and diffs, comment on diff lines, commit and push from the phone
  • Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot and Antigravity CLI
  • Optional self-hosted hub serves the web app and reaches your other machines

Pros

  • MIT open source, free, no account
  • Nothing changes at the keyboard — sessions keep their own accounts
  • Covers the six major coding CLIs in one app
  • Tiny 2.9 MB app with an optional self-hosted hub

Cons

  • The phone app is Android-only; iPhone users must use the browser hub instead
  • Each computer needs a one-line setup and tmux installed

How to choose the right Coding & Development tool

The right coding tool depends on where you write code and how much of your codebase it can understand. IDE integration is the first filter — a tool that lives in your editor, sees your project files and respects your stack will help far more than a general chatbot you paste snippets into. Look for accurate completions, clear explanations of suggested changes, and strong refactoring and debugging support for your main languages. Privacy deserves real attention: check whether your code is used for training, and whether a self-hosted or enterprise option exists for sensitive projects. Price against the hours it actually saves — most developers feel the difference within the first week of real use.
