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.

Orchestrator is the companion app for Orchestrator, the desktop workspace for agent-driven development. Your agents keep working while you step away from your desk. AO Mobile keeps you in the loop see what every worker is doing, answer the ones that are blocked, and keep work moving from your phone. REQUIRES THE Orchestrator DESKTOP APP AO Mobile is a thin client. It connects directly to Agent Orchestrator running on your own computer, over your local network or your Tailscale network. There is no cloud service and no account to create. Your code, conversations, and repositories never leave your machine. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Live Kanban — every worker session on one board, grouped by what needs your attention: working, needs you, in review, ready to merge. • Get notified when an agent stops — a push notification arrives the moment a session needs your input, and tapping it opens that exact conversation. • Chat with any agent — full conversation history, streaming responses, approvals, model and provider switching, file attachments, and voice input for when typing is impractical. • Follow pull requests — open and draft PRs with their checks, CI status, and review state. • Talk to the orchestrator — your project-level planning agent, for thinking through direction and delegating new work. • Drop into the terminal — attach to a session's live terminal when you need the raw view. • Preview running work — open a worker's browser preview to see what it built. BUILT FOR TRUST The desktop's connection to your phone is opt-in and off by default. When you enable it, AO opens a separate local listener protected by a rotating password, and pairing happens by scanning a QR code shown on your desktop. Turning it off closes the connection immediately. GETTING STARTED 1. Install Agent Orchestrator on your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine. 2. Turn on Connect Mobile in the desktop app. 3. Scan the pairing QR code with this app. Agent Orchestrator is open source. Learn more at aoagents.dev.
