Nexting — Remote control for your AI agents. Nexting is the remote control layer for Claude Code and Codex. Your agent keeps running on your Mac. Nexting mirrors the live session to your iPhone, so you can watch, reply, approve, and keep work moving from anywhere. REMOTE-CONTROL YOUR AGENT • Open an existing Claude Code or Codex session from your iPhone. • See what your agent is doing in real time. • Reply to questions, approve decisions, and keep the work moving. • Use voice or text when you are away from your keyboard. • Check task progress and return to the result when it is ready. ONE SOFTWARE + HARDWARE ECOSYSTEM Nexting connects the agent on your Mac, the Nexting app on your iPhone, and optional wearable endpoints in one control layer. PIN and Ring extend the same workflow beyond the screen, so you can dispatch by voice and stay connected without reaching for your phone. BRING YOUR OWN AGENT Connect the Claude Code and Codex workflows you already use on your own computer. Your sessions stay tied to your own devices and workflow. Prefer a managed experience? Nexting Pro offers hosted agent options. MORE THAN A CHAT APP Nexting is built for work that continues after you leave your desk. It is a way to dispatch a task, follow a live session, answer when your agent needs you, and come back to a result. IPHONE INTEGRATION Use voice input and connect your workflow with Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Location, and HomeKit. The optional Health skill checks authorized step counts locally on your iPhone. This release does not read clinical records or share HealthKit results with AI services. PRIVACY Advanced Privacy is on by default for supported computer-agent conversation content. Hosted Nexting AI, voice services, and other device-tool results are processed by Nexting and the services needed to fulfill your requests; these paths are not covered by that end-to-end encryption. We do not sell personal data or use your conversations to train our own models. Retention and deletion controls: https://nexting.ai/privacy NO HARDWARE REQUIRED You can use voice or text on your iPhone without wearable hardware. PIN and Ring are optional ways to go hands-free. Built by an independent founder — Eric Shang, a former DJI embedded software engineer — who builds the hardware, firmware, iOS app, cloud, and website himself.
