About Thumbdesk

Thumbdesk, listed elsewhere as PocketShell, gives developers and administrators phone access to their computers and servers. A small agent is installed on macOS, Windows or Linux with one command, then paired by scanning a QR code, and any SSH server can be added too. Connections are outbound only and terminal traffic is encrypted end to end over WebRTC, so no port forwarding or VPN is needed. Terminal sessions persist on the host, so a dropped signal does not end the shell. The app also offers screen sharing, file transfer, project views with git and live CPU and memory stats. It is free for two machines, while Pro covers ten machines for 39.99 USD a year.

About Vidmoat

Vidmoat is an AI video editor with an agent that reads your footage, cuts the dead air, writes captions, removes backgrounds, and ships shorts to every platform, from one prompt. Tell the agent "make this a punchy TikTok" and it reads your footage, writes the captions, cuts the dead air, and grades the color, step by step, out loud, until it's done. Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agents over Model Context Protocol, they import footage, edit the timeline, look at the frames they made, and render finished MP4s.
