Features

DevFob puts your Mac's Claude Code sessions on your iPhone — and your Apple Watch. Claude Code runs on your Mac. DevFob lets you watch every session and answer it from anywhere, so a long run never stalls waiting on a prompt you didn't see. • See every session live — running, idle, or needs-you-now. • Answer permission prompts (Allow / Deny) and multiple-choice questions from your iPhone or Apple Watch. • Send a quick instruction or reply without walking back to the Mac. • Resume an interrupted session. • Switch your Mac's operating mode. • Glance at your Claude usage (5-hour and weekly windows). Built for trust: • End-to-end encrypted. Pair your iPhone to your Mac with a one-time code; every command is sealed, so the relay only ever sees ciphertext. • No account, no tracking. It talks to your own Mac, not to us. • The Apple Watch app mirrors your iPhone, so the watch never holds your Mac's keys. DevFob requires the DevFob host running on your Mac (devfob.com).
