voice (Push-to-talk)
Dictate the next prompt from the kitchen. Hold to talk — speech streams to Deepgram Flux and types into your agent's terminal.

This is the Whip for your agents_
They code on your desktops — you drive them from the couch. Point, type, talk. Never babysit a terminal again.
01 / Point
Your agent asked a question. Answer it from the couch.
Point your phone at any screen like a magic remote — roll-compensated angular pointing, cursor appears the moment you move. Approve the permission prompt, click the button, scroll the diff. Without walking to the desk.

latency 18ms· simulated
move your mouse over the screen — that's what pointing your phone feels like. the real thing: <25ms sensor-to-cursor.
02 / Modes
Four ways to whip.
keyboard (Layout-free)
Your agent asked a question. Reply from your pocket — text diff-syncs to the desktop, no layout problems, ever.
esc · tab · arrows · enter included
trackpad (Touch-relative)
Precision when you need it. Touch-relative surface with click zones and a scroll strip — scrub the diff, hit the button.
two-finger scroll · tap-click
remote (Presenter + media)
Slides and media keys too. Advance the deck, blank the screen, skip the track — same phone, same mesh.
prev / next · F5 · play · volume
03 / Mesh
Agents on three machines. One whip.
Whip (desktop) is also a full software KVM across Windows, macOS and Linux. Switch which desktop the phone drives in one tap, push your cursor across screen edges, sling files and clipboard between machines — with <3ms p95 added latency.
clipboard (Synced)
Text and images follow your cursor across machines.
files (Drag-drop)
Sling files between desktops over TLS, hash-verified.
discovery (mDNS + QR)
Desktops find each other. Phones pair with one scan.

04 / Remote
Whip (remote) — coming soon.
A physical whip for when the phone is across the room. Dual personality: standard BLE HID mouse — pairs with anything, zero software — or companion mode for full mesh integration and desktop-side tuning. Board is in bring-up. No renders, no promises — this is the actual schematic.

Under the hood.
WebRTC DataChannel (Primary)
Unreliable, unordered, low-latency — built for input events.
WebSocket (Floor)
Always-works fallback on any network that passes TCP.
BLE GATT (No shared Wi-Fi? Still works)
Direct radio lane between phone and desktop. No router required.
