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.

KKCode is the mobile client for OpenCode — the AI coding agent that runs on your Mac. Connect to your local OpenCode server over Wi-Fi or Tailscale, and bring AI-powered coding assistance wherever you go. FEATURES • Multiple AI Models — Switch freely between DeepSeek, Zhipu, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, and any model supported by your OpenCode server. Model preferences are remembered per session and persist across conversations. • Streaming Responses — Responses stream in real time. Scroll freely while the AI is generating; KKCode keeps your position and never interrupts your reading experience. • Code & Markdown Rendering — Enjoy full syntax highlighting for code blocks, inline formatting, and rich markdown display. • Tool Call Transparency — See exactly which tools the AI invoked, review file changes, and inspect inputs and outputs for every tool call. • Image Attachment — Send screenshots or design mockups directly from your photo library. • Session Management — Organize conversations by project directory. Rename, swipe to delete, or bulk remove sessions whenever you need. • Split View Support — Keep your session list and active chat side by side for a desktop-class multitasking experience. • Offline-Safe Draft — Your unfinished messages are automatically saved per session and restored when you return. • Multi-language Support — English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Português, Русский. • Dark & Light Mode — Automatically follows your system appearance. HOW IT WORKS KKCode connects to the OpenCode server running on your Mac. Start the server with: opencode serve –hostname 0.0.0.0 –port 4096 Then add your server connection in KKCode and start chatting. For remote access outside your home network, Tailscale is recommended. KKCode requires an OpenCode server to function. It does not include built-in AI inference or AI models.
