VibeAround lets your local Claude Code answer DMs from Telegram
VibeAround is the kind of tool you do not realize you wanted until somebody builds it. A Rust and Tauri desktop app that takes whatever coding agent you run locally, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and bridges it to Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu, plus a browser-based terminal with tmux support. Your agent, your machine, your API keys. The remote is just the UI.
The clever bit is the handover mechanic. You start a conversation on your laptop, type /handover, and pick it up from your phone with /pickup. The agent does not care that the interface moved. Session state, including the tmux layout, survives the jump. You can even switch which agent you are talking to mid-conversation. That is a small feature with a big implication, the agent is the durable thing now, the device is disposable.
Under the hood VibeAround talks to agents over ACP, the Agent Communication Protocol, via stdin and stdout. Each messaging platform is a modular plugin. That choice means you are not tied to one vendor, not tied to cloud relay, not signing up to let somebody else see your prompts. The full stack lives on your Mac. The author, Jazzen Chen, made the no-lock-in philosophy the headline.
This product sits on the same thesis line as Spectrum from Photon, the real ceiling for agents is not capability, it is presence. If your agent can only show up inside its own app, it never gets deployed. Spectrum goes multi-platform at the framework level, VibeAround goes multi-platform at the local-runtime level. Both are betting that the winning distribution story for agents does not require new apps, it requires living inside the apps people already have.
