ServerCC lets you run real Claude Code or Codex on your phone via SSH, with the same experience as on desktop. Persistent connections keep your tasks running even after you close the app, and you can resume them anytime. Built for mobile, with smoother text input and interaction than terminal apps. While tasks are running, you can view your coding results in real time via VNC. No server yet? Claim a free sandbox trial right in the app — a temporary cloud Linux server with Claude Code, Codex, and Pi preinstalled and a sample project ready — and try the full workflow before adding your own server. Key Features: - The same UI and interactions as desktop Claude Code and Codex — not a chat wrapper - Multi-agent support: run Grok Build, OpenCode, Kimi Code, Pi, and OMP alongside Claude Code and Codex - Claude Code/Codex session management (start, auto-reconnect, and resume) - Tmux-based persistent sessions that keep Claude Code/Codex running even after closing the app — or attach directly to Tmux sessions already running on your host - herdr integration: servers running herdr show their spaces in the app — attach to running agent sessions, start new agents inside herdr, or adopt a space as a workspace - Claude Code bg sessions: launch agents in bg mode, close the app, attach from anywhere later — they keep working on your server - Workspace worktree support for developing multiple features simultaneously, with parallel Claude Code/Codex execution - VNC Remote Desktop: view your coding results in real time while Claude Code/Codex works — connect to macOS Screen Sharing or any VNC server - Ports: open web apps running on your dev server straight from your phone - Workspace file browsing and upload, plus management of global and workspace-level Skills and MCP Privacy Policy: https://servercc.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ ServerCC is an independent app for running AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode, Kimi Code, Pi, OMP) over SSH.

About

codeout

codeout puts your AI coding agents in your pocket. Run Claude or a plain shell on your own machine, then drive them from your phone, tablet, or browser, wherever you are. No cloud, no relay, no account. The agent runs on your hardware over a direct, end-to-end-encrypted link, and your code never leaves your machine. -Chat or terminal, per session: a clean messaging-style chat over your agent with streamed replies, tool cards, and file and image attachments, or a full raw terminal. - Approve before it runs: allow or deny each command, right on your phone. - Every device, same sessions: pair your phone, tablet, and laptop and they all drive the same live work. - End-to-end encrypted, reboot-proof, free and open source. Most "code from your phone" tools route everything through their servers. codeout has no servers. That is the whole point. Requires the free codeout daemon on your computer. Visit codeout.dev to get started.
