You choose whether to adopt a suggestion and send it. Explore before connecting Tap Try Demo on the initial connection screen to browse sample projects and conversations without a Mac or Codex sign-in. Demo replies and execution results are simulated locally; real tasks require a connection to your own Mac. Free access and subscriptions Reading is always free. Each iPhone includes 10 free sends, counted when accepted by the agent; this quota does not reset monthly. After using them, choose a monthly or annual auto-renewable subscription for unlimited Pocket sending. Both plans provide the same benefits. Manage subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Pocket subscriptions do not include Codex service access or usage credits. Real execution uses your own Codex account and remains subject to its permissions and usage limits. Connection and privacy • Pair iPhone and Mac with a one-time QR code, using a local network or encrypted internet connection. • End-to-end encryption protects communication between iPhone and Mac. The relay does not read conversation plaintext, and Codex sign-in credentials stay on your Mac. Requirements • iPhone: iOS 17 or later. • Mac: macOS 14 or later, Code Pocket Bridge 1.0.2, and Codex CLI 0.153.4 or later, installed and signed in. • Real tasks and notifications require Bridge to remain running and online.

History revert does not undo project file changes or external actions.

Code Pocket's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
