How to check and steer your desktop agent from a phone with Grok App

Use the token-gated mobile web mirror or an IM bridge to follow and redirect a running session.

Remote script. Remote messages can direct a local agent that runs tools on your machine, so keep the access token private and use Ask mode unless you fully trust the channel.

Who it is forA developer who starts long agent tasks at a desk and wants to check progress or redirect them while away.

The problemAgent tasks keep running on the desktop, and there is no way to check or adjust them without returning to the machine.

The outcomeA phone view of the running session where you can monitor progress and send a steering message.

What you need first

  • Grok Build CLI (grok) version 0.2.112 or newer, installed and signed in, or an API key or custom relay configured in the app
  • A project folder you are willing to let the agent work in
  • Git installed if you plan to use Git worktrees or Git diff review

Steps

  1. Open the desktop app and enable the Mobile Web Mirror from its settings.
  2. Note the access token that the mirror requires.
  3. Optionally set up one of the IM channel bridges such as Telegram or Slack to reach the same agent.
  4. On the phone, open the mirror address in a mobile browser and enter the token.
  5. Send a follow-up prompt or steering message to the active session, or use /p or /r in an IM bridge to switch project or resume a session.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Grok App repo (https://github.com/RongleCat/grok-app), enable the mobile web mirror for a running session in <project-name>. Expected output: a token-gated mobile page that shows the session timeline. Verify that the token is required before any page content loads.

Caveat. Remote access options such as Cloudflare Quick Tunnel are named in the README, and the setup details beyond that are not documented there.
