VS Remote Chat (vsrchat)

Drive your VS Code Copilot Chat from your phone. View your sessions, watch responses stream live, send new prompts, and approve tool/terminal calls — all remotely, over an end-to-end-encrypted relay. The relay never sees your messages in plaintext.

Features

  • 🔗 Pair your phone with a QR code (or short code).
  • 📜 Mirror your real Copilot Chat sessions (read-only).
  • ⚡ Stream model responses live to your phone.
  • ✍️ Send prompts via the Language Model API (reliable) or, experimentally, into the real Copilot panel.
  • ✅ Approve/deny tool & terminal calls remotely.
  • 🔔 Push notifications when a response finishes or input is needed.
  • 🔐 End-to-end encrypted, single-user, stateless relay.

Getting started

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Run VS Remote Chat: Pair a phone… from the Command Palette.
  3. Sign in with GitHub when prompted.
  4. Scan the QR code with the VS Remote Chat PWA on your phone.
  5. Start chatting from anywhere.

Privacy & security

vsrchat is single-user and locked to your GitHub account. All messages are encrypted on your PC and only decrypted on your paired phone (and vice versa). The Cloud Run relay only forwards opaque ciphertext and stores nothing.
