Zaviv
Read full descriptionHide full description
Zaviv is the iPhone companion for the Zaviv desktop app on Mac and Windows. Pair your phone and keep a coding agent moving from the couch, a meeting, or across town. Message it in chat, send a task, or talk. The agent keeps running on that computer, or on a supported cloud agent. WHAT IT DOES • Message Claude, Codex, Cursor, and the other coding agents you already run, in chat. • Send a task and open the conversation when an agent needs you. • Talk to Zaviv. A spoken request becomes a task. • Approve or deny permission requests yourself. • Switch between several computers and see which sessions are running, idle, finished, or waiting. • Keep tasks, prompts, and notes in one place. Send a notebook entry to an agent. • Get notified in the app, with widgets and Live Activities, when work finishes or needs you. HOW IT WORKS Your iPhone sends instructions and shows the results. The code and the agents run on your connected computer or a supported cloud agent, not on the iPhone. Zaviv Desktop shows a QR code or a short code. You review the computer name and what the phone will be able to do before the link is saved. Traffic between the phone and that computer is encrypted. PRIVACY • Prompts, voice audio, images, and task content may be sent to the AI provider you select. The Data & AI screen explains what can leave your device. • Voice audio is shared only during an active voice session. Images are sent only when you attach them. SUBSCRIPTION Zaviv Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered as a 1-month subscription at $34.99 per month or a 1-year subscription at $349.99 per year. Prices are in U.S. dollars; prices in other regions are converted by Apple and may vary. Eligible new subscribers may get a 2-week free trial, shown before purchase when your Apple Account qualifies. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of the free trial if one applies. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.zaviv.com/legal/eula Privacy Policy: https://www.zaviv.com/legal/privacy A Zaviv account and internet connection are required. Controlling your coding agents requires the Zaviv Desktop app. Some features require a supported provider, cloud agent, plan, or compatible Apple device.
