About

Kanna Mobile

Read full description

Kanna Mobile is a companion for the Kanna desktop app for macOS. It lets you follow and steer coding-agent tasks from your iPhone while the work runs on your Mac. Kanna Mobile requires a Mac running the Kanna desktop app. It is not a standalone coding-agent host, and it does not run agents on your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every task across your repositories, grouped by status and activity • Open a task and watch its terminal and agent output stream live • Send follow-up instructions when an agent stops and asks a question • Start new tasks against a repository and agent of your choosing • Review diffs and file contents an agent has touched • Get a notification when a task needs you TWO WAYS TO CONNECT On your local network, pair directly with your Mac by scanning a QR code. No account, no sign-up, nothing leaves your network. Away from home, cloud access relays the connection between your phone and your Mac. Cloud access needs a Kanna account and is currently invite-only — request one at kanna.build/support. BUILT FOR PEOPLE RUNNING SEVERAL AGENTS Kanna gives every task its own git worktree, branch, and agent session, then moves it through a workflow: implement, review, pull request. Kanna Mobile is the window into that from wherever you ff before lunch, an agent stuck on a question, a reviewyou want to read on the train. Kanna works with the coding-agent CLIs you already have installed on your Mac. A NOTE ON WHAT YOU'LL SEE Kanna is a developer tool. It displays repository names, branch names, task prompts, and raw terminal output from your own machine. Requires the Kanna desktop app for macOS, available at kanna.build.
