I've been frustrated with my AI coding workflow lately. Switching between different browser tabs and separate CLI tools for different models (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI) was constantly breaking my flow. I also wanted a way to interact with these tools away from my desk without the pain of using a standard mobile keyboard for CLI tasks. （Screenshots are available in the GitHub README linked above.）
So, I built VibeAround to scratch my own itch. It mainly solves two problems:
A multi-pane desktop workspace: It runs tools like Claude Code, Gemini, and OpenAI Codex side-by-side in a unified terminal. It behaves a bit like tmux for AI agents, letting you run tasks in parallel and compare outputs with all your context in one view.
A usable mobile terminal experience: I built a responsive mobile Web UI that connects to the local environment (e.g., via an ngrok tunnel). To make CLI work actually usable on a phone screen, I added a custom virtual keypad with essential keys like Ctrl+C, Esc, Tab, and a dedicated prompt button.
The goal is to turn your local machine into a private, multi-model AI server that you can control seamlessly from any screen, rather than relying on a single vendor's remote environment.
It is still very much a work in progress, but the core workflow is there and I'm using it daily. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the approach. How are you all managing multi-model CLI workflows locally? Happy to answer any questions about the implementation!
