Your agents. In your pocket. CC Pocket brings Codex and Claude to a chat UI made for your phone. Start a task, approve the next step, and review the result. Your agents run on your own computer; you can pick up the same work on another device. CHAT FIRST Each session is a room for prompts, replies, approvals, and questions. Send images, use voice input, or write with Markdown. Handle waiting approvals from the session list. CONTINUE ACROSS DEVICES Move between your phone, tablet, and Mac. Resume sessions from the CLI or app. On larger screens, keep chat, project files, and Git changes side by side. Native macOS is available; Linux and Windows desktop builds are experimental. KEEP YOUR PLACE ON WEAK NETWORKS Outgoing messages wait while you are offline and resend after reconnecting. Missed streaming updates are recovered. New requests and approvals need a connection to the Bridge Server. CREATE AND PREVIEW Generate images with Codex Imagegen and open the results in chat. Play video and audio files without leaving the app. REVIEW AND SHIP Browse project files, inspect code and image diffs, stage changes, commit, push, or revert. Keep parallel tasks separate with git worktrees. YOUR OWN MACHINES Run the Bridge Server on your Mac, Linux, or Windows computer. Connect by QR code or saved host. Tailscale supports access away from your local network, and SSH lets you manage the Bridge remotely. GET STARTED 1. Install Node.js 20.18.1 or later and Codex or Claude on your computer. 2. Run: npx @ccpocket/bridge@latest 3. Scan the QR code in CC Pocket and choose a project. A reachable Bridge Server and a configured agent account are required. CC Pocket is free to use, with optional Supporter purchases. Agent service fees are separate. CC Pocket is open source and is not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI. https://github.com/K9i-0/ccpocket TERMS OF USE https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Kanna Mobile

Kanna Mobile is a companion for the Kanna desktop app for macOS. It lets you follow and steer coding-agent tasks from your iPhone while the work runs on your Mac. Kanna Mobile requires a Mac running the Kanna desktop app. It is not a standalone coding-agent host, and it does not run agents on your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every task across your repositories, grouped by status and activity • Open a task and watch its terminal and agent output stream live • Send follow-up instructions when an agent stops and asks a question • Start new tasks against a repository and agent of your choosing • Review diffs and file contents an agent has touched • Get a notification when a task needs you TWO WAYS TO CONNECT On your local network, pair directly with your Mac by scanning a QR code. No account, no sign-up, nothing leaves your network. Away from home, cloud access relays the connection between your phone and your Mac. Cloud access needs a Kanna account and is currently invite-only — request one at kanna.build/support. BUILT FOR PEOPLE RUNNING SEVERAL AGENTS Kanna gives every task its own git worktree, branch, and agent session, then moves it through a workflow: implement, review, pull request. Kanna Mobile is the window into that from wherever you ff before lunch, an agent stuck on a question, a reviewyou want to read on the train. Kanna works with the coding-agent CLIs you already have installed on your Mac. A NOTE ON WHAT YOU'LL SEE Kanna is a developer tool. It displays repository names, branch names, task prompts, and raw terminal output from your own machine. Requires the Kanna desktop app for macOS, available at kanna.build.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kanna Mobile at none against CC Pocket's 5. CC Pocket's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
