Unofficial Claude Code Client vs Octopus

Made this app for myself initially, decided to make it free for everyone. Do not use this for serious projects, keep it mostly for inconsequential hobby work. You will need to register an account with Anthropic and configure Claude Code on your machine, I am not affiliated with them in any way. I was tired of using SSH clients to check on Claude Code sessions, so I decided to make an app that interfaces a little more cleanly. It hooks onto pre-existing tmux sessions (or you can start a fresh one into any directory) and checks for an Claude Code session that was happening in that path, then it picks up from there. There might be bugs here and there, feel free to report them in the support page, I'll try and get around to them. Bear in mind, Claude Code sessions used from the app will always have what's equivalent to the `--dangerously-skip-permissions` flag, so keep regular backups alongside kind of git history going.

Octopus brings Codex to iPhone and iPad. Connect to your Mac, development server, or remote workspace and keep real coding threads moving from anywhere. It is not another closed cloud IDE. Octopus is a mobile control surface for the environment you already use: connect through Codex app-server or SSH, browse workspaces, projects, and recent sessions, return to active threads, and follow Thinking, Waiting, and Ready states in real time. When an agent needs a decision, resolve approvals with Allow, Allow for Session, or Deny. Use text, voice, images, and files to add context without returning to your desk. Review automation runs, start a task again, inspect history, and jump back from notifications or Live Activities when work changes state. Built for developers who want to: • Monitor AI coding agents from iPhone • Resume Codex threads away from the desk • Approve commands, permissions, and structured questions remotely • Keep Mac, server, workspace, and thread context organized • Dictate quick prompts, bug notes, and test results by voice Key features: • Codex app-server and SSH connections • Server, project, thread, and recent session management • Runtime status, notifications, and Live Activity deep links • Approval cards for command and permission decisions • Markdown messages, tool results, image input, and file context • Automation list, run-now actions, and run history • SSH host fingerprint confirmation and credentials stored in device Keychain • Octopus turns your phone into a second development screen, so you can stay close to the code even when you step away from the keyboard.
