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 SSH. * Project, workspace, scheme, and configuration inventory. * Selection of available simulators and development devices. * Remote build and run with progress and a detailed log. * 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.

Ask it to run a recent build again, or to cancel the one that's running, from Siri or the Shortcuts app. Add the widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen: the last build, what's building now, and whether a coding agent is waiting for you. Everything shows how long ago it was checked, so old news never looks like news. The medium widget and a Control Center control run your last build again in one tap. And on Apple Watch: the CompilePilot app shows your Macs and the build in progress with its time, runs a recent build again, and shows when an agent is waiting for you so you can continue on your iPhone. Complications put the status on your watch face. And when the agent has finished its turn, tell it what's next without taking out your phone: say "Tell Claude in CompilePilot" to Siri, or tap "Tell it something" on your watch. Dictate, confirm the text, and the agent starts. If it's waiting for a permission, you still answer that on your iPhone, where you can read it. Claude Code only, for now. Follow the build on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island with a Live Activity: phase, progress, and how much is left. And if you want, notifications even when you're away from home: when a build finishes or your agent is waiting, your Mac tells your iPhone and your watch. It's optional and off by default. Each notification leaves your Mac encrypted and only your iPhone can read it: our server hands it to Apple without being able to open it. Without it, build notifications still arrive with the app closed, whenever iOS gives it a moment to check, and they come with "Run Again", which works from your watch too. Everything you send to your Mac goes over your local network, through your iPhone. Requires Companion 3.0 on your Mac. ### 3.0.0 — 2026-09-27 Open a coding agent on your Mac, from your phone. If you have Claude Code, Codex or opencode installed on your Mac, you can now open one on the project you already had selected, with a tap. The session runs on your Mac in a real terminal, and you read and type it from your iPhone or iPad. Leave the screen and the agent keeps working; come back whenever you want. Run more than one session on the same Mac and switch between them. Start a new conversation, continue the last one, or pick one from the agent's own list. The agent's permission prompts show up exactly as they do on your Mac, and you answer them. The app never picks the agent's mode: to change it, the "Mode" key sends the same keystroke you would press on the Mac. Also new: • Build, run and test with Xcode from the Run screen with the "Build with Xcode" switch. Xcode's tools can be set up for the whole Mac from the app. • SwiftUI previews rendered on your Mac. • The project list groups projects by folder, great for monorepos. • Project details for projects with packages open much faster. • Branches show when they are ahead of or behind their upstream. • The home screen shows what is running and your recent projects. • Xcode 27 support, and Xcode 26 stays supported. Requires Companion 2.0 on your Mac. ### 2.1.1 — 2026-09-18 • One Mac, several addresses: CompilePilot remembers how to reach each Mac over your local network, Tailscale, or an IP, and tries the one that worked last. Adding another address to a paired Mac doesn't ask for a code. • A paired Mac is no longer stuck on "Out of range". If it stops accepting this device, it says "Pair again" and you can pair it right there without removing it, keeping its history. • Your saved Mac is recognized on the network even if its name or address changes. • When a Mac can't be reached, its details now show why for each address. ### 2.1.0 — 2026-09-15 Git from your phone: see your project's branch, uncommitted changes and recent commits, and switch branches when the working tree is clean. The Run screen tells you about uncommitted changes before you build. Fixes: • Running a project again, or retrying, no longer closes the app. • Very long build logs no longer exhaust your iPhone or iPad's memory. • Cancelling an Archive now shows it as cancelled, not as a lost network connection. • Sharing a build or Archive log always shares that run's log. ### 2.0 — 2026-09-12 CompilePilot now works with the Companion, a free app for your Mac: it finds your Mac for you, keeps builds running when you leave the screen, and lets you watch and touch the Simulator from your phone. SSH connections work exactly as before. ## More apps by Cristian Gabriel Morales - [Moonlight Dreams](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/moonlight-dreams/id6744646285) All apps by Cristian Gabriel Morales: https://appshunter.io/developer/1808675820 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
