About Vato IDE

Vato IDE turns your iPhone or iPad into a powerful companion for the Vato IDE desktop app. Connect to your computers in real time, open projects and conversations, and direct AI coding agents wherever you are. CODE FROM ANYWHERE Send instructions, follow responses live, attach reference images, or dictate prompts with your voice. Choose your preferred provider, model, reasoning level, and execution mode for every task. MANAGE YOUR DESKTOPS See connected computers, browse active projects, and continue existing conversations. Work across multiple desktops without losing project context. PLAN, REVIEW, AND APPROVE Review proposed implementation plans before execution. Answer agent questions and approve or reject commands, file changes, and other sensitive actions directly from your device. KEEP WORK MOVING Queue follow-up prompts while an agent is busy, change priorities, stop active runs, and return to completed conversations when you are ready.
