The Empryo app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch is in beta. It drives the chats on your computer: the agent still runs there, with your files, keys and settings, and the phone shows each step and sends what you type or say.
It needs iOS 26 or watchOS 26 or later. Ask on Discord for an invite to the beta.

When a turn finishes, fails or needs you, the phone gets a notification. A Live Activity shows the running chat on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island and in StandBy, and the Apple Watch shows the same status.
