What is it?
Miffan is an Android AI app built as a fork of RikkaHub. You connect your own AI service, such as an OpenAI-compatible or Gemini or Claude API key, a ChatGPT subscription through Codex sign-in, or an OpenRouter account. Each AI partner is a single ongoing chat, and partners can message each other and join group chats with a host partner that splits the work.
The app can also let a partner operate a Mac, Windows or Linux computer over SSH, including over Tailscale. You watch the desktop from your phone and take over by touching the screen. A high-performance mode uses Sunshine on the computer for lower-latency streaming, and scheduled tasks can run on the computer's own scheduler. Each action that matters goes through an approval card, and permissions can be set per computer.
Chats and settings are stored on the phone. Prompts and tool data only go to services you configure, and backups can go to WebDAV or S3-compatible storage.
