Cialai

All your terminals. On your computer and on your phone.

Each session is a shell in a folder, with a card that shows what is running and what needs attention. Your phone follows everything through an end-to-end encrypted connection the computer sets up on its own.

The studio

Cards that only say what was observed.

Each session's state comes from what the system observes: foreground process, bytes received, exit code and program signals. Nothing is inferred.

  • Attention that stays until you look

    Terminal bell, the end of a long job or the end of the shell mark the card. It clears when the session is viewed.

  • CPU and memory of the whole tree

    The measure adds up every process the shell opened, the same column as the system monitor.

  • Switching cards interrupts nothing

    Process, history, scroll and tabs stay where they were. Closing the app does not erase anything either: history comes back.

On your phone

The computer leads. The phone follows.

The same cards, the same interface. You open any session, read the live output, type and close it. A phone with a bad signal never freezes a shell on the computer.

  • One single interface

    The phone receives the same page the computer bundles. There is no second interface to maintain.

  • The keys a phone is missing

    Esc, Tab, Ctrl C, arrows, Enter and Paste in a row above the keyboard. The terminal fits the screen width.

  • Read-only files, no secrets

    The project tree opens on the phone with a size limit and sensitive files blocked. Delicate actions ask for biometrics.

How it works

Three steps.

Install on both sides and point the camera.

  1. 1

    Install on the computer

    Choose your project folders and your shell. The first terminal opens in under three minutes.

  2. 2

    Install on the phone

    Install the APK on Android, or the iPhone app from the App Store, and open the QR reader.

  3. 3

    Pair with the QR

    The computer shows a QR that rotates and expires. In under a minute the phone sees the same sessions.

Automatic connection

End-to-end encrypted. No server in between.

The computer sets everything up on its own. The phone connects over the local network, the internet or the Tor fallback.

  • No server in the path

    Not yours, not Ordinum's. Terminals, files and traffic stay between your devices.

  • Direct whenever possible

    QUIC with TLS 1.3 and one key per device. The computer opens the router port when the router allows it.

  • Tor fallback

    When the network blocks a direct connection, the embedded Tor keeps you connected.

  • One key per phone

    Single use QR code that expires in 10 minutes. Revoke one phone without touching the others.

Coding agents

Made for people who run several agents at once.

With Claude Code or Codex in the foreground, the card shows plan usage, model and profile. Closing the app does not lose the conversation: Cialai resumes where it left off.

Recognized from the command line, no plugin needed.

Next to the terminal

Editor, project tree, Git and previews in one place.

Editor tabs, an explorer with Git markers, document previews and a Dev Browser per session. Light and dark follow the system.

Download

On your computer and on your phone.

The desktop creates and runs the terminals. The phone follows and controls.

Phone

Preview 0.2.9 for Android as an APK. On iPhone, on the App Store.

On Linux and Mac, with one command

On Linux it picks the .deb, the .rpm or the AppImage for your distribution. On Mac it downloads the .dmg for your chip and copies the app to Applications. It checks the checksum and installs.

curl -fsSL https://cialai.com.br/install.sh | bash

Open source

Built in public. Maintained by Ordinum.

Code, documentation and publishing settings live in the same repository, under Apache 2.0. Issues and pull requests are welcome, and the community talks on Discord and WhatsApp.

Your terminals, in one place.

Install on the computer, pair the phone and follow what is running from anywhere.
