Live transcripts plus the ability to answer permission requests from your phone is the actual killer feature here - most remote-agent tools stop at "send a prompt," but Grok Build sessions constantly stop and wait for approval, and that's exactly the moment you're usually away from your desk. Being fully open-source and free removes any hesitation about trying it.
Hey Product Hunters,
I switched to Grok Build as my coding agent and missed one feature: controlling local sessions from my phone.
Le voilà, Porte — French for “door” — an open-source remote control for Grok Build.
How it works:
1. Install the Porte plugin in Grok.
2. Run /remote-control and pair your phone.
3. Start or continue local conversations from your phone.
Porte currently lets you:
- Read transcripts live, including tool calls, diffs, file output, and Grok
responses.
- Send prompts, attach files, run slash commands, and stop a turn.
- Allow or deny permission requests without granting broad approval.
- Open existing conversations or start one in a known local repository.
- View git diff of changes to easily review Grok's work.
Grok and your repository files stay on your machine. Porte preserves Grok’s directory, configuration, sandbox, and permission rules. Porte stores your account, pairing data, and conversation transcripts so your phone can access them.
Last but not least - it's 100% free and open-source.
