Field notes
handide is installed globally with npm, then launched from a project folder; the page says it exposes installed VS Code through a phone touch layer, with files, terminal and AI tools in drawers. handremote uses a similar npm install and lists Windows, widgets, tray icons and listening servers by category; its page says closing a phone-sized window restores its prior size. Both target Windows 10/11 and require Node.js 20+.
