Development tools. Authorized access.
Caterm connects you to computers you own or have permission to use for coding, running builds and tests, inspecting logs, managing files, and scheduling development tasks. Codex and Claude Code run on your connected device using your existing agent account and permissions.
How Caterm uses Google services
Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication provide account sign-in. Google sign-in requests basic identity, email, and profile permissions; it does not request access to Gmail, Drive, or Calendar content. The Caterm iOS app also uses Google Analytics for Firebase for app usage analytics. AI model requests follow your locally installed agent's provider configuration, separately from Google sign-in.
Non-consensual intimate imagery is prohibited
Caterm does not use Google APIs to create, edit, or distribute AI-generated non-consensual intimate imagery (AI NCII). Using Caterm, its remote agents, workflows, or connected services to create, alter, distribute, or facilitate intimate imagery of a person without their consent is prohibited, including synthetic images and sexual deepfakes. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this policy.

BEFORE YOU CONNECT
Remote access, explained.
What is Caterm?
Caterm is a browser workspace for software development and authorized remote computer administration on computers you own or have been given access to. It connects desktop access, Codex and Claude Code conversations, scheduled workflows, a terminal, and a scoped file browser.
Where do Codex and Claude Code run?
The agent CLI runs on the connected computer using its existing local login, tools, and project environment. Caterm relays messages and stores conversation history on its server. Model requests follow the agent provider's configuration; local execution does not mean an offline or locally hosted AI model.
Which computers support remote control?
Remote desktop is available in preview for configured Macs and Linux X11 desktops. It requires local screen and input permissions and a working network path. The device must be online; Windows desktop support is not currently available.
Does my computer need to stay online?
Yes. The connected computer must be awake, online, and running the Caterm app or daemon to execute work. Closing an agent conversation's browser tab does not stop a running turn. A daemon restart ends interrupted turns, and browser terminal sessions end when their connection closes.
Can I schedule remote AI agent tasks?
Yes. Create a workflow with ordered prompts for Codex or Claude Code, choose a device and project, then run it manually, once, or on a recurring schedule. Agent questions or approvals can pause a run. Execution depends on device availability and the workflow's permissions and timeouts.
What happens when I share a device?
Members can use the tools enabled on that device and create separate conversations. Caterm keeps each user's chat history and approvals separate. Files, the operating-system user, local agent credentials, and provider quota remain shared; separate chats do not create isolated machines.
Does Caterm include AI model usage?
No. Caterm provides device access and the browser workspace. Install and sign in to Codex or Claude Code on your device; provider subscriptions and model usage are separate from your Caterm plan.
