What Daktyl Connect is
Daktyl Connect puts the coding agents already running on your computers on your phone. Chat with them, take the call hands-free, approve a risky command from the lock screen, open a port on a machine and tap it, and steer the whole fleet.
The shape of it
One always-on hub that every machine dials out to; a daemon on each computer as the hands; the channel plugin as each agent's voice; the phone app as the cockpit. Nothing is peer-to-peer and nothing listens for inbound connections, so a NAT'd desktop, a cloud box and a laptop on hotel wifi all behave the same — no port forwarding, no VPN, no inbound anything.
- Your machines, your data. Agents run on hardware you own. The hub coordinates them; it does not host, copy or back up your work. There is no cloud backup, by design.
- Accounts are isolated from each other, and all traffic is encrypted in transit.
- Harness-neutral. Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, opencode, Hermes, Antigravity and more are equals — see Harnesses.
