Task Sync/Monitoring

Task Sync streams task activity from your local VS Code to Roo Code Cloud so you can monitor progress from any device — desktop, tablet, or phone. This feature is free for all users.

What is Task Sync?​

Task Sync ingests task events one-way from your local VS Code to Roo Code Cloud so you can:

  • Monitor long-running tasks from your phone while away from your desk
  • See near real-time updates (polled every few seconds): messages, mode changes, and status
  • Check when a task completes without sitting in front of your IDE
  • Review your cloud task history anytime

Getting Started​

  1. Connect your IDE (see Login/Signup)
  2. Open or start a task in your local Roo Code extension
  3. Visit the homescreen at https://app.roocode.com to monitor in near real time
  • Personal accounts: Task Sync is enabled by default and can be toggled in Settings.
  • Organization accounts: Task Sync is managed by your org admins and is off by default for members unless enabled at the org level.

Mobile Monitoring​

Task Sync is optimized for mobile. Check in on progress between meetings, during a build, or while a model is running — without being stuck at your desk.

Upgrading to Remote Control​

If you also want to continue tasks remotely (approve actions, respond to prompts, start/stop tasks), enable Roomote Control.
Pro includes a free 14‑day trial, then $20/month — see Billing & Subscriptions.

Limitations​

  • One-way monitoring only; no cloud commands are sent to your IDE
  • For live updates, your IDE must be open and connected
  • Internet connection required for live updates

You can review cloud task history anytime, even when your IDE is closed.
