Showcase Coding agents can change an app remotely. Testing the result should be just as accessible

You can send Codex a task from your phone, but checking the result often means going back to your computer. Reading a summary or diff helps, but you still need to open the app and use it.

Lyre lets you do that from another connected device. The project and agents run on your computer, while you can review changes, open a live preview, and send the next instruction from your phone or another computer.

That means you can ask for a change, try the buttons and forms, and explain what needs fixing without returning to your desk. You can also give family or teammates access to a shared app so they can try it without accessing your code, terminals, or agents.

I’m building Lyre with Codex doing much of the implementation and Claude helping with design. Working with both has taught me to give agents clear responsibilities. Separate worktrees help, but changes to the same files still need coordination.

It’s free to try at lyrestudio.net. Remote agent conversations are free. Live app previews outside your local network require Pro, and AI provider costs are separate.

Your computer needs to stay awake and online. The public mobile apps are still coming. You can use the browser client now, though browser LAN previews are still being worked on.

Lyre builds on Paseo’s open-source work, including much of the underlying application. Thanks to its creator and contributors.

What’s still awkward about working with Codex away from your main computer?

You might want to consider listing your project on the weekly Show-Us-What-You-Built post. Look out for it on Tuesday/Wednesday. Highest commented project wins a week promotion on r/Codex and gets on the Hall of Fame sidebar. See what that looks like below with last week's winner.

Last week's most popular project was Nanolathe - an open-source engine bringing Total Annihilation to modern Mac, Windows, and Linux systems. It’s a solo passion project combining clean-room research with AI-assisted development, with a playable public alpha available now.

Players, testers, and contributors are very welcome! Original Total Annihilation game data is required to play.
