## What is CompilePilot?

CompilePilot lets you start and follow builds on your Mac from your iPhone or iPad.
Choose a project, scheme, and destination, then put the build in motion without going
back to your desk.

Your Mac still does the work: compilation, signing, installation, and launch use the
Xcode command-line tools you already have installed. CompilePilot displays the
progress and complete output, but never downloads or runs executable code on your
iPhone or iPad.

Key features:

- Direct local-network connection through the Companion or SSH.
- Project, workspace, scheme, and configuration inventory.
- Selection of available simulators and development devices.
- Remote build and run with progress and a detailed log.
- A free Mac Companion, with local-network discovery and six-digit pairing.
- Live Simulator: watch and touch your Mac's simulator from your iPhone or iPad.
- Coding-agent sessions on your Mac (Claude Code, Codex, opencode) that you read and type from your iPhone or iPad. Requires the Companion.
- Siri and Shortcuts: ask how your build is going, run one again, or cancel it. A status widget, and an Apple Watch app with complications. Requires the Companion.
- Tell your coding agent what to do next, from Siri or your watch, once it has finished its turn. Permission prompts are still answered on your iPhone. Requires the Companion.
- Optional notifications when a build finishes or your agent is waiting, even away from home, encrypted on your Mac, and the running build on your Lock Screen. Requires the Companion.
- Projects and agent sessions from all your Macs in one list. On iPad, the list and the details side by side.
- A complete Demo Mode that works without a Mac or network connection.
- Credentials stored in the device Keychain.

There are no accounts, advertising analytics, tracking, or relay servers. Your iPhone
or iPad communicates directly with your own Mac.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.4.0 — 2026-10-27

More accurate two-finger gestures in the mirror, and Home, Lock, Siri, and the keyboard work again with recent versions of Xcode. In Agents, each session shows its conversation title. Plus search in the previews list and several mirror fixes. The mirror and Agents improvements require Companion 3.6.

### 4.3.0 — 2026-10-23

Make more room on iPad: open agent sessions and simulators in their own windows, and follow several tasks at once.

Follow supported sessions from the Lock Screen with Live Activities. See their state and confirmed steps when the agent provides them. Requires Companion 3.4 and a supported version of Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode.

Take simulator screenshots and record video from the mirror. Originals stay on your Mac’s Desktop; download a copy, save it to Photos, or share it from iPhone or iPad. Approve each download over cellular, or let it wait for Wi-Fi. Requires Companion 3.4.

The mirror adapts quality to your connection and adds sharpness and fluidity profiles, plus controls for resolution, frame rate, and power saving. Automatic quality requires Companion 3.4.

A refreshed welcome and demo help you discover projects, agents, and simulators. We also improved empty states, access to sessions, the data-use notice, and project workbench navigation.

Attach images from Photos or the clipboard—including with ⌘V—to Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode sessions. Update the current Git branch with a pull that preserves your local changes. Companion features require Companion 3.5; Git pull is also available over SSH.

Rotate simulators from the mirror, and fold or unfold supported models. The mirror follows the active screen. Requires Companion 3.5 and a supported simulator.

### 4.2.0 — 2026-10-20

Your project, ready to build: tap it and it opens in Run, with scheme and simulator already picked. Archive, Previews and Info are one tap away.

New:
• Simulators on each Mac, and the running ones on Home.
• Hand work over to another agent (Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode) to continue or review. Requires Companion 3.3.
• Technical dictation in agent sessions, processed on your device.
• Install or update agents and tmux on your Mac from the app.
• Over SSH, leaving a running build asks whether to keep it going.
• With Companion 3.3, projects with many Swift packages open right away.

### 4.1 — 2026-10-16

Your agent, in any repo.

Until now, a coding agent opened on an Xcode project. With Companion 3.2, it also opens in any Git repository on your Mac: a website, a backend, a script.

In Agents, tap "+": below your projects you'll find your folders, the ones you added to the Companion and the Git repositories inside them. Pick one, check its branch and history, and open Claude Code, Codex, or opencode there, just like in a project.

Your Mac builds the list: your phone picks from it and never types a path. To offer another folder, add it in the Companion.

And every session is easy to tell apart: in Agents, on Home and when you switch sessions, it shows where it runs, whether it's new or continued, and when it started.

### 4.0 — 2026-10-10

All your Macs, in one place.

CompilePilot is now organized in four tabs: Home, Projects, Agents, and Macs.

Home shows what matters right now: agents waiting for you, builds in progress, your favorites, and your latest runs, across all your Macs.

Projects brings the projects on all your Macs together in one list, with favorites, recents, and search. If the same repo is on two Macs, it's one row, and you choose which Mac to open it on.

Agents lists the sessions open on all your Macs, with a badge on the tab when one is waiting for you. Start a new one with "+".

On iPad, the list and the details sit side by side: an agent session stays open next to the list, and goes full screen with one tap. With a keyboard, ⌘[ and ⌘] switch sessions. It works full screen, in windows, and in Stage Manager.

On iPhone Duo, CompilePilot fills the screen and adapts as you fold and unfold it, without losing what you had open.

Also: if a pairing code has expired or is wrong, the app tells you, and an agent session reconnects on its own when you come back to the app.

Works with Companion 3.0. With Companion 3.1, the same repo in different folders on two Macs also shows up just once.
