About

Kangentic

Read full description

Kangentic Mobile is the companion app for Kangentic, the desktop tool for running coding agent sessions. Pair your phone with your desktop once, then check on your agents, read their progress, answer prompts, and review diffs from wherever you are. Key features: - Live session view: read the agent's transcript as a clean chat feed, or mirror the raw terminal when you need the full picture. - Answer permission prompts and questions the agent raises, right from your phone. - Review file changes with a per-file diff view before they land. - Push notifications when a session needs your attention. - End-to-end encrypted connection between your phone and desktop. No account required, and no Kangentic server ever sees your session content. Kangentic Mobile requires the Kangentic desktop app running on the same network (or reachable through a relay) to pair with.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kangentic at none against Moki's 1. Kangentic also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). Moki's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
