Pairfob: A Phone-Sidecar for Live AI-Agent Sessions

pairfob.com Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Pairfob lets a phone continue operating Herdr sessions running Codex, Claude, or Grok on a computer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

Pairfob adds a phone-facing control layer to Herdr sessions already running on a computer. The documented setup requires Herdr 0.7 or later, a resident pairfobd process, and one QR-code pairing, with a manual code fallback. The interface is described as mirroring the real terminal rather than a screenshot: it exposes agent confirmations, keyboard input, session layout changes, and Git worktree actions. The page also states that the computer opens no inbound port and that the relay forwards encrypted frames.
