Message your coding agents like teammates. Codync turns the coding agents on your computer — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, Grok Build, Gemini, GitHub Copilot and dozens more — into persistent bots you delegate to from your iPhone. Pick who, say what, put the phone away. BOTS, NOT SESSIONS Give each bot a name, a character, standing instructions, an agent and a project folder. Each bot is one ongoing conversation, so there's no hunting for the right session or setting up an environment every time — just open the chat and type. APPROVE FROM ANYWHERE When an agent wants to run a command or change files, an approval card arrives in the chat: Allow once, Always allow or Deny. You get a notification only when a bot needs you or finishes. A CALM CHAT The conversation shows your messages and each final reply. Every command, file change, plan and thought is one tap away in Full conversation. While a bot works, you see what it's doing right now. USAGE AT A GLANCE See your Claude and Codex subscription limits in the app, in widgets and on the Lock Screen. Follow a working bot in a Live Activity and the Dynamic Island. YOUR COMPUTER, YOUR CODE Agents run on your Mac or Linux machine with your own logins. Away from home, the free built-in relay connects your phone end-to-end encrypted, so it only ever forwards ciphertext; on the same Wi-Fi or Tailscale the phone connects directly. Your code and conversations stay on your computer. GET STARTED Install Codync on your Mac (brew install --cask leepokai/codync/codync) or the host on Linux, then scan the pairing code.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Codync at none against KittyLitter's 4. Codync also leads on update cadence (daily vs weekly) and chart position (#98 vs unranked). KittyLitter's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and ratings volume (45 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Codync holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KittyLitter has 45 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of KittyLitter's written reviews are positive against 83% of Codync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

KittyLitter ships an update weekly, Codync daily. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
