Orca IDE
Orca IDE's mobile app mirrors a paired desktop coding workspace and forwards terminal input from an iPhone.
Choose for checking an existing desktop session on the same local network.
Project switching, terminal controls and idle notifications let a user follow long-running work away from the desk.
Keep in mind: It is a thin client: shells and agents run on the desktop, and the product description requires iOS 16 or later despite lower captured minimum metadata.
