CC Blackbox is the iPhone companion to the CC Blackbox desktop app for Mac. Watch and steer the AI coding sessions already running in your local IDE, from anywhere. See every live session at a glance and know which ones need you. Read the conversation as it happens, including what the assistant says between tool calls, with full tool detail and edit diffs a tap away. Send the next prompt by typing or dictation, answer permission requests, interrupt a turn, or stop a session outright. A built-in status strip shows the model and context usage for every session you watch. Pair with your Mac by scanning a QR code. Pair up to five Macs and watch them all from one phone. Push notifications reach you when a session is waiting on you, even with the phone locked. Everything is end-to-end encrypted between your phone and your Mac. The relay that connects them sees only encrypted bytes; your sessions, prompts, and code never leave your machines readable. Requires the free CC Blackbox app on your Mac, a personal IDE made specifically to work with Claude Code. No account, no sign-up. A built-in demo mode lets you explore the app before pairing.
