I’m building Xclawd Duo, an AI-enabled IDE for iPhone Duo. This early preview explores a coding workspace that changes with the device: choose a project while folded, open it for chat and code, and use the keyboard in tabletop mode.
And yes, those are Mac OS X Aqua and Windows NT-inspired themes. A small coding workspace can still have some personality.

What the recording shows
- A folded project picker with an “Open your Duo to continue” prompt.
- Chat, Code and Changes views, with chat and the editor side by side in the wider layout.
- An on-screen keyboard and coding punctuation controls in the tabletop-oriented editing view.
- Appearance changes between Aqua, dark and Windows NT-inspired themes.
This is an early, rough development build. The focus of this clip is the interface and device layouts; it is not a release announcement. The recording is silent.

Thấy cái form factor đôi màn hình này tiềm năng lớn cho dev mobile — màn hình chính chạy editor, màn phụ hiển thị preview/logs/terminal thì workflow gần desktop hơn hẳn so với single screen. Vấn đề lớn nhất vẫn là text input: virtual keyboard ăn quá nhiều real estate, mà gắn physical keyboard thì lại mất đi tính di động. Các bạn có test case nào cho external keyboard + trackpad không? Còn phần AI-assisted completion trên device (on-device model) thì latency thế nào so với cloud inference? Trên iPhone 15 Pro Max test local LLM 7B quantized thì khoảng 15-20 tokens/s, đủ cho inline suggestion nhưng chat/agentic workflow thì hơi chậm. Curious xem Xclawd handle context window ra sao khi project size lớn — sliding window hay RAG-based retrieval? PS: the tool I meant is on labagent .tech
