Why Bring Your Own Firebase?

Your data, your infrastructure, your rules. Here's what Firebase does under the hood and why BYOF matters.

Firestore — Real-Time Sync

When your AI coding agent runs on your desktop, the relay writes session data to Firestore. The mobile app listens with real-time snapshot listeners — updates appear on your phone instantly, no polling.

Firebase Auth — Identity

QR code pairing authenticates both your desktop and phone against the same Firebase project. Only you can see your sessions — secured by your own auth rules.

FCM — Push Notifications

Permission requests, task completions, and errors trigger push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging. Get alerts on your lock screen without any third-party service.

Your Data, Your Project

Session data (prompts, output, file paths) lives in YOUR Firebase project. Inspect, query, or delete it anytime from the Firebase Console. No middleman, no vendor lock-in.

Requires the Firebase Blaze plan (pay-as-you-go). The free tier quotas (1GB storage, 50K reads/day, 20K writes/day) are included — most individual developers won't pay anything.

Up and running
in four steps

No complex infrastructure. No paid services. Just a few free tools and the app.

Prerequisites

Before running npx forge-remote init, make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js (v18+) JavaScript runtime that powers the relay. nodejs.org
npm Included with Node.js. Used to run npx commands. Bundled with Node
Firebase CLI Free tool from Google. Forge Remote uses it to create and configure your Firebase project. npm install -g firebase-tools

All tools are free. The Firebase CLI is required because forge-remote init uses it to create your Firebase project, enable Firestore, configure authentication, and deploy security rules.

1

Initialize Forge Remote

Run the init command to set up your Firebase project, deploy Firestore rules, configure authentication, and generate your pairing QR code. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

bash
$ npx forge-remote init
2

Scan QR code with the app

Open Forge Remote on your phone and scan the QR code to securely pair your phone to your desktop. The pairing is end-to-end through your own Firebase project.

3

Start the relay

The relay bridges your AI coding agents with the mobile app in real time. It runs as a lightweight background process and syncs sessions to Firestore.

bash
$ npx forge-remote start

✓ Relay connected to Firebase
✓ Watching for AI coding sessions...
✓ Forge Remote is running
4

Sessions appear on your phone

Start a session with Claude Code, Aider, or Codex CLI. The session appears on your phone automatically — monitor output, approve permissions, send prompts, and earn XP.

Relay Commands

Every command the Forge Remote relay supports. Requires Node.js v18+ and the Firebase CLI (npm install -g firebase-tools).

forge-remote — relay commands
  • $ npx forge-remote init First-time setup — checks prerequisites (Node.js, Firebase CLI), creates your Firebase project, deploys Firestore security rules, configures auth, pairs your desktop, and generates your pairing QR code.
  • $ npx forge-remote start Start the relay — launches the background process that bridges AI coding sessions to your phone in real time. Supports Claude Code, Aider, and Codex CLI.
  • $ npx forge-remote pair Generate a pairing QR code — displays a new code to scan with the Forge Remote mobile app. Use this when adding a new device.
  • $ npx forge-remote status Show relay status — displays paired desktops, active sessions, connection state, and relay version information.
  • $ npx forge-remote update Check for updates — compares installed relay version against the latest release and prompts to upgrade if a newer version is available.
  • $ npx forge-remote reset Reset configuration — clears all local relay config and re-runs initialization. Use this if you need to point at a different Firebase project.
