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.

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.

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.
