Announcing the exe.dev iOS app - exe.dev blog
We're delighted to announce that exe.dev has an iOS app now in the App Store.<br>There's a lot to write about how we built it, but today let's talk about the why.<br>After all, the exe.dev dashboard and Shelley already work on mobile browsers.
They say the best camera is the one you have with you. The best terminal is the<br>one you have with you too. We couldn't build the following features without<br>building an app, so an app it is:
Notifications. Agentic conversations are high-latency, and it's useful to<br>be notified when it's your turn. Nothing on iOS comes close to the native<br>notifications experience. Of course, we built this with an exe integration:<br>other software you build on your VM can use the same notify.int.exe.xyz<br>integration to ping your phone.
Share sheet. Many prompts begin with a screenshot. Take one, click<br>share, and click on exe.dev to start an agentic conversation. Whether it's a UI<br>element that's out of alignment or a Slack message you received, the share<br>sheet speeds up "time to agent is working on it."
Voice. We built a voice mode that can harness the power of having real<br>computing resources available to you.
SSH. There are several excellent SSH clients already available for SSH, but<br>the process of creating a key and registering it with exe.dev is cumbersome.<br>We do not yet support mosh (it's on the roadmap!) which makes roaming<br>prone to dropping connections. Having a terminal client in our app side-steps<br>that. We have happy users that have persistent Claude Code sessions in their<br>terminals. Paste works, by the way.
Multiplexing Shelley. One of our taglines is "a VM for every idea." Instead<br>of walking through each VM in turn to find unfinished business, the iOS app<br>provides a centralized place.
I want to thank our TestFlight users for providing valuable feedback while<br>suffering through many a crash!
The app is in the App Store.<br>Give it a whirl. Send us feedback via<br>Discord or support@exe.dev.
