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.
