CTRL Micro

MedHue Labs

Free

Turns an iPhone or iPad into a haptic control deck for your Mac and for AI coding agents like Claude, Codex and Cursor.

Key features

  • Haptic Control Deck: A customisable board of controls that responds with haptics, sound and visual feedback so actions can be triggered without looking.
  • Agent Task Monitoring: Shows progress and attention states for Codex, Claude and Cursor tasks at a glance, and lets you reopen recent tasks or start new ones.
  • Client-Specific Controls: Switches the deck between Mac control and per-agent control surfaces tailored to Codex, Claude and Cursor.
  • Full Mac Control: Launches applications, adjusts volume, brightness, media and windows, moves the pointer, scrolls, clicks, runs Shortcuts and invokes Siri.
  • Local Dictation: Dictates into desktop apps from the deck with transcription processed locally by CTRL Micro Host on the Mac rather than in the cloud.
  • Desktop View: Streams the Mac screen above the controls or full screen, with pinch, pan and double-tap to inspect detail.
  • Remote Anywhere: End-to-end encrypted remote sessions where the relay forwards opaque data and cannot read screen or control content.
  • No-Account Privacy Model: Requires no CTRL Micro account, keeps nearby connections direct between devices, and stores no screen frames, keystrokes or dictation.

Best for

  • Agent Babysitting: Keep an eye on long-running Claude Code or Codex tasks from a second screen and step in the moment one needs attention.
  • Hands-Free Dictation: Dictate prompts or documentation into Mac apps from the iPad while keeping the keyboard free for other work.
  • Desk Ergonomics: Move frequently used Mac shortcuts and media controls onto a physical-feeling deck instead of hunting through menus.
  • Remote Mac Access: Check on and control a Mac at the office from elsewhere over an end-to-end encrypted Remote Anywhere session.
  • Multi-Agent Workflows: Switch between Codex, Claude and Cursor sessions from one deck when several agents are working in parallel.
  • Privacy-Sensitive Environments: Control a Mac and transcribe speech without creating an account or sending screen content to a vendor.

Visiby

FNA Technology

Paid

AI visibility platform that tracks how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and AI Overviews cite your brand, and ships fixes.

Key features

  • AI Citation Tracking: Continuously samples roughly 50,000 prompts per week across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to record where and how a brand is cited.
  • Per-Engine Visibility Scoring: Reports a composite AI Visibility score plus share of voice and prompts won or lost, broken out engine by engine so declines can be traced to a specific model.
  • Prompts & Citations Explorer: Lets teams open any tracked prompt and read the actual model answer to see which competitor was named and why.
  • Brand Entity Analysis: Maps the adjectives each engine associates with your brand versus competitors and suggests reframing plays to change that portrait.
  • Competitor Intelligence: Tracks rival citation share on comparison and 'alternatives to' prompts, highlighting categories where a competitor dominates.
  • Prioritized Action Plan: Converts findings into P0/P1 recommendations such as schema additions or comparison pages, each with a time estimate and projected score gain.
  • Site Audit for AI Parseability: Audits pages for missing entity definitions, structured Q&A data and other signals that prevent models from citing the site correctly.
  • White-Label Reporting and API: Higher tiers add white-label client reports, SSO/SAML and API access for agencies managing multiple brands.

Best for

  • AI Search Monitoring: Marketing teams track whether ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend their product or a competitor on high-intent category prompts.
  • Competitive Benchmarking: Brands quantify how much citation share a named rival is capturing on 'alternatives to' and 'best of' queries.
  • Content Prioritization: Content teams decide which pages to write or refresh based on which prompts are currently missed rather than on keyword volume alone.
  • Technical AEO Audits: SEO specialists find pages lacking FAQ schema or entity markers that keep answer engines from parsing them.
  • Agency Client Reporting: Agencies run pooled prompt tracking across multiple client workspaces and deliver white-label AI visibility reports.
  • Executive Reporting: Operators present a weekly digest showing search clicks alongside AI citation share to explain traffic shifts leadership sees.
