What problem it solves

People need AI agents that can continue work across their devices, use the model providers they already have, and operate their actual files and applications. They also need a shared interface for existing coding agents and a way to build reusable companions, integrations, and recurring routines.

Key features

• Cross-device sessions and access — Continue sessions from another device and access files on connected computers without copying them into a new chat. Cindy also includes a phone-based remote desktop for operating connected computers.

• Multiple agent harnesses — Use Claude Code, Codex, and Pi through a shared interface, and coordinate different agents for planning, parallel implementation, and independent review.

• Tools and rich responses — Agents can work with local files, a browser, and applications, then present results with charts, interactive controls, and rich HTML. Automations and connected chat channels support recurring and handed-off work.

  Source: README

• Custom companions and reusable knowledge — Create companions with roles, instructions, skills, and recurring responsibilities. Preferences and knowledge can be retained in memory, while effective workflows can become reusable Skills.

• Extensible desktop and mobile clients — The repository contains open-source Electron desktop and Expo/React Native mobile clients, along with shared packages for authentication, device linking, agent orchestration, and model providers.

Who it may suit

This project may suit developers and contributors who want to work with an AI agent across desktop and mobile platforms, or shape its client architecture and integrations.

Topics to discuss

• Which connected-device workflows should the community prioritize next?

• How should Skills, plugins, and MCP integrations be designed for reuse across companions and devices?

• What should the shared interface provide when users coordinate Claude Code, Codex, and Pi on the same task?
