A phone remote for AI coding agents, chat beside the code changes when open
Does LinkShell work on iPhone Duo?
Yes. LinkShell has a layout made for iPhone Duo, and FoldHunt's editor has checked it in the simulator.
- Simulator verifiedLiu Tao (LiuTianjie on GitHub), who makes the open-source LinkShell, has an iPhone Duo section on the LinkShell site (liutianjie.github.io) with simulator screenshots of each pose. The App Store release notes for version 2.0.2 (released October 8, 2026) say "为 iPhone Duo 做好准备" (ready for iPhone Duo). The App Store seller is Gaojiua Technology Beijing Co., Ltd., and the App Store description links Liu Tao's GitHub repository.

About LinkShell
LinkShell lets you follow and steer Claude Code, Codex and other terminal coding agents running on your computer from your phone: read the output, approve requests and send commands. On the Duo the open screen puts the conversation beside the agent’s changes.

· Simulator screenshots reviewed
Simulator verified · iphone-duo
Looked at the flat screen captures behind the LinkShell site's iPhone Duo section, at the simulator's exact unframed sizes and captioned as captured from the running app in the iPhone Duo simulator: open wide, the chat on the left and a Changes panel with a README diff on the right, with a column of buttons down the edge; closed, the chat filling the cover with its buttons in a column; and a one-column chat shown upright and turned sideways.
Poses shown: Closed, Open. These are observations of the evidence, not a test of every interaction.
App version: Not recorded in this evidence. Environment: iPhone Duo simulator.
The site shows the captures on a 3D model; the poses are the site's own labels, and the half-folded capture looks like the upright one. No app version is tied to the captures. No build was tested.

by Liu Tao
Liu Tao's LinkShell lets you follow and steer a coding agent running on your computer. In simulator shots, the chat fills the cover with buttons down the side when closed; open flat, it sits beside the files the agent changed or a preview.
