Why I built Cepho
Danny — solo founder, self-taught developer
I noticed my brain doesn't really clock out of a project. The idea for a fix, or the thing that's actually wrong with a bug, tends to show up nowhere near my desk. Standing in line, on a train, stuck at a boring family thing.
Normally that idea is just gone by the time I'm back at my PC. I'd lose the thread, or I'd default to scrolling instead, even though half my head was still on the project the whole time.
Cepho is the fix for that specific gap. Not a replacement for your setup, not a new IDE, not remote access to your machine. Just your actual files, available the second you think of something, so the moment doesn't die before you get back to your desk.

What it looks like
Chat with AI — it knows your file tree, same context as your desktop session.
Only changed files upload. Runs quietly in the background.
Edit on mobile, changes land in Cursor when you're back.
Where Cepho fits
A few other ways people already solve parts of this. All of them are solid tools for what they're built for — here's the honest breakdown.
| Tool |
Your actual project?
The real codebase you were working in on your PC, not a cloud copy, a fresh sandbox, or a separate environment.
|
No PC required?
Doesn't need your computer on, awake, or reachable. Different from "remote control," which drives a machine that has to stay running.
|
Native mobile UI?
A real app built for touch and small screens. Not a terminal or a desktop site squeezed onto a phone.
|
Getting started?
What it actually takes to go from zero to working, every option requires something.
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SSH / Termius | Yes | No, PC must stay on | Terminal only | Port forward or dynamic DNS, then pair the app |
| GitHub Codespaces | No, cloud copy | Yes | Browser only | GitHub account + Codespace config |
| Replit | No, own environment | Yes | Browser only | Account + rebuild your project inside Replit |
| Cursor Mobile | Only in "control my PC" mode | Depends on mode used | Yes | App + account, plus PC setup if controlling your machine |
| Claude Code mobile | Only with Remote Control | Depends on mode used | Yes | App + account, plus Remote Control setup on your machine |
| Cepho | Yes | Yes | Yes | Extension in your editor + app, pair once |

Questions
What is Cepho?
Your Cursor or VS Code project lives in the cloud. Open your phone and everything is there, even if your PC is off.
How is Cepho different from Cursor Mobile, Replit, or Claude?
Cursor Mobile is Cursor's app, not your actual project. Replit is a browser IDE, not your existing repo. Claude on mobile has no clue what files you have. Cepho connects your real workspace to your phone and back.
Does my PC need to be on?
No. Files and chat live in the cloud. Changes sync back to your IDE when you're back at your desk.
Which editors work with Cepho?
Cursor and VS Code. Install the extension, open your project, pair from the app and you're good. More editors coming.
How does sync work?
Only changed files upload. Save in the IDE and the cloud updates. Edit on mobile and the changes apply in Cursor when you're back. Runs in the background, nothing to think about.
What does it cost?
Waitlist is free. First 25 get founding-member Pro benefits (4 months Pro free then 50% off). After that there's a free tier and Pro at $10/mo.
Can I try it now?
Android beta is live. Download the APK, install the extension, pair your IDE and that's it.
