MoCode puts your tmux workspace in your pocket. Any CLI coding tool that runs in a tmux session - OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex CLI, pi, or a plain shell - can be picked up, watched, and steered from your iPhone. Use MoCode to: - See your running tmux sessions and windows in one place. - Open a live terminal for any window; tasks keep running after you leave. - Start new tmux windows when you need a fresh workspace. - Switch between sessions and windows without losing remote context. - Review terminal history to catch up, then jump back to Live. - Get optional notifications when a task finishes or needs your approval. - Send feedback with a screenshot. MoCode connects to your own tmux gateway. Nothing runs on the phone: no local compiler and no hosted IDE. Your sessions keep running on your server; MoCode is the focused mobile view into them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is chart position: OpenLens at #202 against MoCode's unranked. MoCode's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
