About

AgentPort

Features
Read full description

Agent Port is a local-first monitor and remote control surface for the AI coding agents you already run — Claude Code, Codex, and other CLI agents living in tmux on your Mac. Check on them, steer them, and reply to prompts from your iPhone, anywhere on your own network. WHY AGENT PORT Long-running agents don't finish on your schedule. Agent Port keeps you in the loop without keeping you at your desk: see at a glance which sessions are running, which are waiting for your input, and which are done — then jump in and respond. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Live session list — every agent pane with a clear status: running, waiting for you, done, or idle • Real-time logs — stream a session's output as it happens, with copy and auto-follow • Full terminal — a real PTY bridge when you need to type anything, not just presets • Quick replies & keys — send text, common answers, and control keys with one tap • Token usage — total Claude Code and Codex token consumption, right at the top • Multiple machines — save server profiles and switch between your Macs instantly • Picture-in-Picture — keep a session's log floating while you do other things (iPhone) LOCAL-FIRST & PRIVATE There is no Agent Port cloud. The app talks directly to a small, free, open-source service you run on your own Mac, over your LAN, Tailscale, or any network you control. Your code, sessions, and tokens never pass through our servers — because there are none. The app collects no analytics and stores its settings only on your device. TRY IT INSTANTLY On first launch the app opens in Demo mode with fully populated sample data — no server, no account, nothing to configure. When you're ready for real use, run the open-source service on your Mac and switch profiles with one tap. Source code, setup guide, and documentation: github.com/xiaoxiunique/agent-port Requires a Mac running the free Agent Port service to monitor your own agent sessions.
