BotBus is a new way to keep local coding agents within reach. The app connects them to your phone, so a task doesn’t have to stop just because you’ve left the laptop behind.
It works across several agents, including Codex, Claude Code, Hermes, OpenCode, and DeepSeek Harness. The pitch is less about replacing your setup than about putting a control layer on top of it: continue supported tasks, handle approvals, look at files and PDFs, and even use a terminal.
On macOS, BotBus goes a step further with screen control and shared web previews. The supported hosts are macOS, Linux, and Windows, while the mobile side includes iPhone, Apple Watch, and an Android APK.
There’s one important catch tucked into the fine print: your computer has to stay online, and the available features depend on the connector. So this is remote control for agent workflows, not magic teleportation.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the sensible version of agent hype: less “autonomy,” more supervision from the couch. The whole category gets better when tools assume humans still want approvals, visibility, and a kill switch. Fancy that.
