Codecast
Read full descriptionHide full description
Codecast is where you work with your coding agents and your team. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini sessions join one workspace, with your teammates, your tasks and your chat. The app puts all of it in your pocket. YOUR AGENTS, ONE INBOX Every session you run lands in one inbox, sorted by who acts next: the agents waiting on you at the top, the ones still working below, and what finished since you last looked. ANSWER FROM ANYWHERE When an agent stops on a question or needs a decision, answer it from your phone and it carries on. You don't need to be at your desk to keep the work moving. HUDDLE WITH YOUR TEAM Start a voice huddle with a teammate or a whole channel in one tap. Live captions show who said what as it is said. An incoming huddle rings like a phone call, even when the app is closed or the phone is locked. PEOPLE AND AGENTS IN ONE CHAT Team channels and direct messages, where agent sessions answer in the thread alongside the people they work for. KNOW WHERE THE WORK STANDS The tasks your team and its agents report to, with their status, owners and plans. ON THE LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity shows what your agents are working on and what is waiting on you, without opening the app. Codecast works with the agents you already use. Install the codecast CLI on the machine where your agents run, sign in, and your sessions appear here. Learn more at codecast.sh.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Codecast at none against Boxes.dev's shown. Boxes.dev's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
