Let them work.
Look up when it matters.
Zen is an open-source phone app for the coding agents on your own computer.
Begin
Start any agent in any folder on your computer. Each one is a Session: read it as a conversation, or take the live terminal.
claude · codex · cursor · grok · pi · opencode · shell
Let go
Give Brain a goal. It writes the Work down, hands each part to a Worker Session, and reads every result before closing it. Open any Worker to take over.
Return
While they run, your phone stays quiet. When a Session is blocked, fails or finishes, you are called, here or on Telegram.
Yours
Zen runs on your computer and answers to one owner. A phone pairs once, then signs every request. Code, keys and agent state stay with you; model providers see only what agents send them.
Several agents skip approval prompts by default so they can work alone. On a machine with secrets, use the safe profile.
