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.

DockPilot AI

DockPilot puts an AI copilot for your servers in your pocket. Chat with an AI agent that actually does the work — it SSHes into your servers, runs real commands, reads logs, edits files, and fixes issues, always with your approval (or hands-off in Full-Auto mode). Manage your whole fleet from iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Talk to your servers — "why is nginx down?", "deploy the latest build", "free up disk space" — and watch the AI run the commands. • Full SSH terminal with per-command approval, or Full-Auto for trusted tasks. • 24/7 uptime monitoring with live status, latency, and instant push alerts the moment a site goes down. • Deploy from GitHub — read repos, edit, deploy, and merge pull requests straight from chat. • Apple Watch app — server status, latency, and a live feed of what the AI is doing on your wrist, plus watch-face complications. BRING YOUR OWN AI Use Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — connect your own account or API key. Switch anytime; your project's memory carries over. PORTABLE AI MEMORY DockPilot remembers your infrastructure so you never re-explain it. Export that memory and drop it into any AI — it's yours to keep. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your SSH keys and API keys are stored in the device Keychain and never leave your device. Projects and chats sync privately through your own iCloud account. DOCKPILOT PRO Full access is available via subscription with a 7‑day free trial — $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription auto-renews yearly unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings.
