Pi on your computer, controlled from your pocket
Remote control for Pi on iPhone
Pi in Pocket connects to a small open source bridge server on your computer, so you can monitor and control Pi from your iPhone or iPad.
No analytics. No tracking. The app and bridge do not collect any data.
Why you need the bridge
iOS cannot run your local Pi CLI directly.
Pi runs on your computer, inside your own projects and environment. Pi in Pocket runs on your iPhone. The open source Pi Bridge is the secure middle piece that lets both sides talk to each other.
Run Pi Bridge on the same computer as Pi, expose it through your private network, then connect from the app with a URL and token.
What you get
A native mobile view into Pi, without giving up your local computer setup.
Control Pi remotely
Send prompts, steer the current turn, and follow up from your iPhone.

Pick up existing sessions

Self-hosted bridge
The open source bridge runs on your machine and connects the app to Pi.
