Inyon

Inyon
Inyon is a mobile tool that lets developers answer their AI coding agents from their phone. Instead of being chained to a desktop terminal, you can approve changes, respond to questions, or steer your agent while away from your desk. It speaks to the growing need for asynchronous, on-the-go control over autonomous coding workflows, where agents run for hours and occasionally stall on a decision that only a human can make.

The pitch is one line but it points at a real pain. Coding agents already run for hours, and the worst part of that is the moment they stall on a question while you're stuck in a meeting or on a train. A phone app that lets you answer those questions without opening a laptop is the kind of small convenience that changes how you actually work.

I'd want to know what "answer" covers. Does it just approve pull requests, or can you read diffs, roll back bad commits, and nudge the agent mid-task? The depth of control decides whether this is a toy or a real tool. I also wonder how it handles security, since approving code from a phone is a different threat model than doing it from a workstation.

The bigger pattern is that agents are moving from chat toys to long-running background workers. Tools like Inyon are the remote control for that shift. If it's done well, this could be the boring utility every dev team ends up using. If it's shallow, it's just another notification app.
