Jep

Jep is a remote control interface connecting multiple coding agents to various mobile and desktop clients.

Jep acts as a shared layer and remote control system that links multiple coding agents like opencode, codex, and Claude to various client apps including Telegram and Android. It uses a hexagonal architecture core to normalize each coding model and agent, allowing users to interact with them remotely. The system supports live streaming responses, voice note transcriptions via whisper, read-only git screens, and usage tracking. Designed to run locally on your machine as a daemon, it serves clients over a gateway or via Tailscale and local area networks. It is built for developers who want to manage and access their coding tools and models from anywhere without switching between different device setups.
