What is RemoteX, exactly?
A local-first AI workspace for remote infrastructure operations. It connects to your SSH servers, Kubernetes clusters, and databases directly, helps you inspect and diagnose problems, proposes fixes, and only changes state when you approve. Desktop and mobile, sharing one core.
Where are my keys stored?
On your device, in the OS secure store: iOS Keychain, Android Keystore, macOS Keychain, libsecret on Linux, or Windows Credential Vault. RemoteX never sees them.
Does RemoteX have a server in the path?
No. SSH, Kubernetes API, and database connections go directly from your device to your infrastructure. AI prompts go directly from your device to the provider you chose. RemoteX operates billing/license services for Pro purchases, trusted-device limits, and pairing — and never receives your server list, credentials, commands, output, queries, or conversations.
Which AI providers are supported?
14 of them. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Vercel AI Gateway, Vercel v0, Amazon Bedrock, GitHub Copilot, plus run-it-yourself Ollama and LM Studio, plus a generic OpenAI-compatible slot for anything else with an OpenAI-shaped API. Bring your own API key, or sign in with your ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot subscription where the provider supports OAuth. Usage is billed by the provider account that owns the key or seat.
Can the AI run anything on my server without me?
Only read-only commands can run autonomously. Anything that could change state requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your local passphrase (Linux / Windows) before it runs, every time, no exceptions, even if you initiated the request yourself. After an approved fix, RemoteX runs verification checks so you know whether it actually worked.
How does monitoring work?
Per-server rules sample CPU, memory, disk, load, and failed services directly over SSH — no agent installed on the server. A local notification fires when a rule breaches, and you can attach a skill or workflow so one tap drops you into a pre-seeded investigation chat. Desktop runs continuous checks while open; mobile is best-effort within iOS / Android background limits.
Is there a desktop app for Mac or Linux?
Yes — three. The desktop app is an Electron build with projects, multi-server chat context, Kubernetes support, database connections, ⌘K command palette, biometric or local approval, SFTP file browser with syntax highlighting, terminal access, local app lock, and silent auto-update. It runs the same agent loop as mobile through a shared core package. The Mac DMG is Apple Silicon and notarized; Linux ships as an AppImage (every distro) and a .deb (Debian, Ubuntu, Mint), both x86_64; Windows ships as an x64 NSIS installer plus a portable .exe (unsigned preview — SmartScreen may warn on first run).
Can I move my data between phone and desktop?
Yes, two ways. iCloud sync handles ongoing cross-device use between Mac, iPhone, and iPad: servers, chats, messages, and rendered tool outputs sync end-to-end encrypted through your own iCloud Drive container, with a passphrase only you know. Apple sees a sealed blob, RemoteX has no key, no recovery, no copy. Sync uses per-record CRDT merging so two devices can edit different things at once and both edits survive. Encrypted .rxbackup files (Pro) cover one-shot migration and offline archival: a single file containing servers, AI keys, skills, workflows, monitoring rules, and threads, encrypted with scrypt + XChaCha20-Poly1305 and your passphrase. Restore on any platform.
Voice input?
Yes, on iOS, Android, Mac, Linux, and Windows. Long-press the composer mic and dictate the question; the agent picks it up like any other prompt. iOS uses on-device recognition where available, so the audio doesn't leave the phone. The desktop apps use the system Web Speech API.
Is it free?
Free covers the full workspace on one connection, including skills, workflows, monitoring rules, memory, and AI chat with any supported bring-your-own API key. Pro unlocks unlimited connections plus encrypted backups with credentials. One subscription works on iOS, Android, Mac, Linux, and Windows.
Where can I download it?
iOS is live on the App Store. Android is live on Google Play. Mac, Linux, and Windows builds live on the desktop page (or jump straight to /linux or /windows).
