CC Peek: The Desktop Second Screen for Power Claude Code Users Tired of losing track of multiple active Claude Code sessions? When you have several terminals open, it’s easy to forget which one is still processing, which is waiting for user input, and which is stuck on a tool permission prompt. CC Peek solves this by syncing your session states to your iPhone, turning it into a dedicated, real-time status dashboard right next to your Mac. Key Features: - Multi-Process Monitoring: View the status of all active Claude Code processes on your Mac directly from your iPhone. - Smart Status Indicators: Instantly distinguish between Running, Waiting for Input, Pending Permissions, and Completed states. - Focus at a Tap: Tap any process card on your iPhone to automatically bring the corresponding terminal window or tab to the front on your Mac. - Local Pairing: Seamlessly connect your Mac and iPhone over your local network. - Built-in Demo Mode: Experience the interface and status transitions immediately, even without a Mac nearby. Privacy & Connectivity: CC Peek utilizes local network discovery to connect your devices. No accounts required, no cloud services, and no data is ever uploaded to a server. Your Claude Code content remains private and stays on your local machines. It is designed to be the perfect companion for multi-tasking developers and long-running agentic tasks. Setup Requirements: To use CC Peek, you must install the desktop companion app on your Mac and follow the setup guide to configure the Claude Code Hook.

The clearest difference is update cadence: CC Peek at every 2 days against OpenLens's every 5 days. CC Peek also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
