Your data, your infrastructure, your rules. Here's what Firebase does under the hood and why BYOF matters.
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.
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.
Permission requests, task completions, and errors trigger push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging. Get alerts on your lock screen without any third-party service.
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.
No complex infrastructure. No paid services. Just a few free tools and the app.
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.
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.
$ npx forge-remote init
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.
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.
