Apprise is an open-source, zero-trust remote copilot and automation bridge that transforms your smartphone into a cryptographically supervised controller for your workstation (Linux Wayland/X11, macOS, and Windows). The Problem: Developers and power users running autonomous AI agents (like Meta's Muse Code) or long-running builds on their desktops are tethered to their physical workstations. Existing remote desktop tools (VNC/RDP) are sluggish, lack native mobile input ergonomics, expose dangerous open ports, and offer zero safety guardrails when AI agents execute sensitive commands. The Solution: Apprise pairs your phone and laptop in seconds via an air-gapped QR code exchange using isomorphic X25519 Diffie-Hellman and AES-256-GCM encryption. It features: 1. Low-latency screen mirror with a dual-thumb landscape gaming HUD and fluid virtual trackpad. 2. Natural-language voice & text planning powered by Meta Model API. 3. Cryptographic Human-in-the-Loop Supervision: Autonomous or voice-proposed actions are categorized by risk (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH). Dangerous actions (e.g. system commands, bash scripts, file modifications) require explicit user approval and a session PIN before execution. 4. Native Muse Code Integration: One-tap launcher for Meta's Muse Code terminal agent, automatically installing the CLI binary if absent and opening an interactive terminal session.
