Argus

Appearance

Mobile App ​

A companion Android app (in app/) mirrors the TUI — sessions, status, transcripts, live screen, prompts, history — and adds Push Notification: it pings you the moment a session needs you (a prompt, a question, a finished turn) even when backgrounded or killed.

Pairing ​

The app talks to a gateway over the network, so you need one running — even on a single machine, start the node in gateway mode (argus start --token <TOKEN>) rather than a plain local node, which only listens on a unix socket the phone can't reach. Then expose the gateway — a tunnel is easiest — and pair the device.

Pairing mints a per-device token so each phone connects with its own revocable credential instead of the master token. Run argus pair against the gateway:

sh
argus pair --gateway wss://gateway.argus --token <TOKEN>

Argus asks the gateway for a fresh token, prints a QR code, and waits for the device to connect.

Scan the QR in the app. The token is persisted on the gateway — and thus revocable — only after a device actually connects.

Revoke a device with argus unpair:

sh
argus unpair --gateway wss://gateway.argus --token <TOKEN>

Push Notification ​

The app pings you the moment a session needs you — even when backgrounded or killed. Nothing to configure; push is always on.

Push runs over UnifiedPush, so it works on any Android:

  • Google Play devices — works out of the box, no setup.
  • De-Googled devices — install any UnifiedPush distributor (e.g. ntfy), then select it in Settings → Push notifications.
