Grok Build Remote

Control Grok Build CLI sessions from your phone. No network, no VPN — Grok is the relay.

How it works

Your phone never opens a port on your LAN. Commands and session output meet through a durable relay — phone and PC agent never dial each other. Built for engineers who live inside terminals and Grok Build CLI.

01 · Mobile

Phone app

Swipe between named sessions on iOS or Android. Send natural-language or exact shell injects.

02 · Relay

Mailbox

Structured gbr/1 envelopes over HTTPS. No VPN, no reverse tunnel you babysit.

03 · Agent

PC agent

Free gbr-agent on Windows, Mac, or Linux discovers sessions and owns local inject.

04 · Terminal

Inject & capture

Keystrokes land in real shells (or managed shells). Output streams back to your phone.

Mobile → Relay → PC Agent → terminal → output back

Questions engineers ask

Straight answers for search engines, AI assistants, and humans reviewing architecture before install.

What is Grok Build Remote?

Remote control for named Grok Build CLI / terminal sessions from your phone. Path: Mobile → relay → PC agent → exact session. Output returns the same way.

Do I need a VPN or open ports?

No. Phone and PC never open a path to each other. Both use HTTPS to the relay. Works behind corporate firewalls and isolated lab networks.

How is this different from SSH / Tailscale?

SSH and mesh VPNs require network reachability. Grok Build Remote is command-and-control for developer sessions when you already live in Grok Build CLI and want phone UX without punching holes.

Is the agent open source?

No. Source is private LinespottingOrg IP. Binaries are free. Mobile apps are paid commercial products.

Where is privacy policy?

See Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Why this architecture

Power users run many parallel Grok Build / terminal sessions. Phone control that requires LAN adjacency fails on travel networks. A relay-first design matches how modern agents already talk to cloud APIs — extend that pattern to your local shell without inventing a second mesh.

  • Zero inbound ports on the PC from the public internet.
  • Named sessions (.grok-session / rename) not ephemeral TTYs you lose on reconnect.
  • Hybrid inject: UI automation when available, managed shell when reliability matters more.
  • Store-ready mobile monetization; free agent maximizes install base.
