pocketctl vs PromptPager

PocketCtl is a remote management tool for AI coding assistants, built for developers. By connecting your Mac or Linux development hosts, you can view and manage Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode sessions from your iPhone—receive live output, send messages, and handle tool approvals and interactive requests. You can also check host availability, Agent versions, session history, and token usage at any time. Whether you’re commuting, in a meeting, or away from your computer, PocketCtl helps you stay on top of your work and keep your AI coding tasks moving forward.

PromptPager keeps you connected to coding agents and terminal sessions running on your Mac. See active Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and terminal sessions from your iPhone or iPad. When an agent needs a decision, PromptPager sends a notification to your iPhone and Apple Watch so you can approve, deny, choose an option, or send a response without returning to your desk. FEATURES • Monitor active coding-agent and terminal sessions • Read live session output from iPhone and iPad • Receive actionable notifications on iPhone and Apple Watch • Respond directly from your wrist • Discover your PromptPager bridge automatically on the local network • Pair securely with a one-time code • Use your own authenticated HTTPS push relay for closed-app delivery • No PromptPager account or subscription required HOW IT WORKS Run the open-source PromptPager bridge on your Mac, pair the app using the six-digit code shown by the bridge, and keep working with your preferred coding agent. PromptPager connects directly to infrastructure you control. The companion bridge supports Claude Code, Codex, opencode, and terminal/tmux sessions. Setup documentation and source code are available from the project website. PromptPager is an independent developer utility and is not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, or SST/opencode.
