About

Nepsis Code

Features
Read full description

Your Mac is running Claude Code. You stepped away. Nepsis Code puts a real terminal on your iPhone — so you can watch, steer, and send input to AI coding sessions on your Mac from anywhere. Not a screenshot. Not a web shell. A live terminal, rendered by SwiftTerm, updated in real time. Nepsis Code is an auto-renewing subscription service. After a 3-day free trial, connecting your iPhone to your Mac requires an active subscription. See subscription details below. WHY NEPSIS CODE Most remote terminal apps connect to servers. Nepsis Code connects to your Mac — where Claude Code, Codex, and your AI agents actually run. When you're in a meeting, on the couch, or away from your desk, your sessions keep going and you stay in the loop. REAL TERMINAL EMULATION Nepsis Code uses SwiftTerm, the same terminal engine trusted by professional iOS developers. You get proper ANSI rendering, cursor support, and a true PTY connection. When Claude Code streams output, you see every character as it happens. SIMPLE SETUP Install the Nepsis daemon on your Mac with a single command Run "nepsis pair" to get a 6-character code Enter it in the app — you're connected After the first pairing, your iPhone reconnects automatically. No re-pairing, no configuration. WHAT YOU CAN DO (with an active subscription) Watch Claude Code, Codex, or any shell session stream live Send keystrokes and commands to running sessions Switch between multiple active sessions Reconnect automatically after network drops Keep sessions alive in the background SECURE BY DESIGN Traffic routes through an encrypted WebSocket relay. Your Mac never needs to open a port to the internet. Pairing is a one-time code — reconnection from that point is automatic and credentialed. Your terminal data is never stored in the cloud. REQUIREMENTS iPhone or iPad running iOS 17 or later Mac with the free Nepsis daemon installed Internet connection on both devices SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Nepsis Code offers two auto-renewing subscription options: • Annual — $29.99/year, including a 3-day free trial for new subscribers • Weekly — $2.99/week Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Prices may vary by region. Download Nepsis Code and stay in control of your AI sessions — wherever you are.
