Overview
choclift and Vokal are two very different productivity tools that solve distinct problems. choclift turns your iPhone into a customizable remote control for your Mac, letting you launch apps, trigger Apple Shortcuts, and open websites with a tap or gesture. It's a personal productivity booster for individual Mac users.
Vokal, on the other hand, is a collaboration workspace designed for teams that work with AI agents. It provides a shared environment where humans and agents (like Claude Code, Codex, or custom MCP agents) can work together on tasks, review outputs, and maintain context. It's built for startups and product teams that need to coordinate multiple AI agents efficiently.
