PocketAI puts the coding agent running on your Mac right in your pocket — so you can keep building, fixing, and shipping from anywhere, even on cellular. It is not a screen mirror. PocketAI talks to a small companion service on your Mac and renders a real, native conversation on your phone: message bubbles, thinking blocks, tool calls, Markdown, and code — the same shape you know from the desktop. FROM ANYWHERE, NOT JUST YOUR WI-FI • Your Mac opens a secure, encrypted tunnel outward, so your phone reaches it over cellular or any Wi-Fi. • No VPN, no port forwarding, no router setup. TLS-encrypted in transit. • The companion runs on macOS, Windows (WSL), and Linux. • Connect to more than one Mac and switch between them. YOU STAY IN CONTROL • Every sensitive action — running a command, editing a file — asks you first, right on your phone. • Choose Allow, Always allow, or Deny for each request. • See file edits as a red/green diff before you approve them. • Interrupt a run at any time. BUILT FOR REAL WORK • Many sessions at once — each keeps running on your Mac while you're away; come back and it replays the full conversation. • Pick the model, working folder, permission mode, and effort level per session. • Voice input, send photos for the agent to look at, and slash-command suggestions. • Todo lists, plan approvals, and tool cards — tuned to match the desktop. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account. No sign-up. No analytics. No data collection. • Your connection details live only in the iOS Keychain. • Conversations go straight to your own computer through an encrypted relay that only forwards traffic — nothing is stored or analyzed, and there are no accounts. TRY IT WITH NO SETUP • A built-in offline demo shows exactly how a conversation and a permission prompt work — no computer required. WHAT YOU NEED PocketAI is a client for a coding agent that runs on your own Mac. To use it for real, you run the free open companion service on your Mac (one command) and have a compatible command-line coding agent installed — it works with Claude Code and similar CLI agents. Any usage costs are billed by your agent/model provider, not by PocketAI. Free to try. Unlock Pro with a small monthly plan or a single one-time purchase — never a forced subscription. No account, no data collection. Made for developers who want their desktop agent within reach, wherever they are. Questions or feedback? We read every message.
