Keep coding work moving when you are away from the keyboard. Pairlet (formerly CC Pocket) is an open-source, local-first companion for command-line AI coding agents. Your agent keeps running on your own Mac, Windows, or Linux computer, against your own checkout. From your iPhone or iPad, you can watch it work, answer permission requests, continue the same session, and review what changed. SUPPORTED AGENTS • Claude Code • Codex • OpenCode • Kimi Code (Preview) • ZCode • DeepSeek Harness (narrow support) WHAT YOU CAN DO • See projects, sessions, live output, tool calls, and background work • Allow or deny supported permission requests; unanswered requests fail closed • Send prompts, images, and voice input • Continue the same task without starting over • Review changed files and line-level diffs where the selected agent exposes them • Pair multiple computers and switch between them LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN The daemon runs on your computer and drives the agent CLI there. It makes an outbound connection, so you do not need to expose an inbound port. App-to-daemon traffic is end-to-end encrypted; the hosted relay only forwards ciphertext and does not hold your message content or private keys. No Pairlet account is required. You can also self-host the relay. HONEST CAPABILITY BOUNDARIES Agent backends are not equivalent. Approval, changed-files, usage, model controls, and other features depend on what each agent exposes. OpenCode has no enforceable interactive approval and runs with Full access. DeepSeek support is deliberately narrow: remote approvals fail closed, and changed-files, usage, and model switching are not available. Pairlet is MIT-licensed and built in Kotlin.

MuxPod

MuxPod puts your tmux sessions in your pocket. Connect straight to your server over SSH and attach to any session, window or pane. There is no agent to install, no daemon to keep running and no third-party cloud in the middle. If the machine already has sshd and tmux, you are ready to go. BUILT FOR TMUX • Browse every session, window and pane from one list • Switch panes and windows by tapping, not by typing a prefix key • Create, rename and kill sessions and windows • Split panes horizontally or vertically • Resize a window or pane to fit your screen, or let auto-fit choose the font size for you • Deep scrollback with Page Up and Page Down A REAL TERMINAL • Full ANSI color, so vim, htop, lazygit and friends look the way they should • A key row with ESC, TAB, CTRL, ALT, SHIFT and arrows, plus an overlay that shows what you pressed • Multi-line paste that arrives intact • Tuned to stay responsive on slow, high-latency links NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE • Recent sessions on the dashboard — one tap to get back to what you were doing • MuxPod remembers the last window and pane for each session • The Alerts tab surfaces panes that tmux flagged for bell, activity or silence KEYS AND PASSWORDS, HANDLED • Generate Ed25519 or RSA keys on device, or import ones you already have • Keys, passphrases and passwords are stored in the iOS Keychain • Optional Face ID or Touch ID before a key is used MORE • Browse the remote filesystem: navigate, sort, rename, delete and create folders • Send a photo from your library or camera straight to the server • muxpod:// deep links to jump into a specific session from any app • Light and dark themes, and a terminal font you can tune to your eyes WHAT YOU NEED A machine you can reach over SSH with tmux installed. That is the whole list.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: MuxPod at 13.0 against Pairlet's 15.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
