DevFob

DevFob puts your Mac's Claude Code sessions on your iPhone ā and your Apple Watch. Claude Code runs on your Mac. DevFob lets you watch every session and answer it from anywhere, so a long run never stalls waiting on a prompt you didn't see. ⢠See every session live ā running, idle, or needs-you-now. ⢠Answer permission prompts (Allow / Deny) and multiple-choice questions from your iPhone or Apple Watch. ⢠Send a quick instruction or reply without walking back to the Mac. ⢠Resume an interrupted session. ⢠Switch your Mac's operating mode. ⢠Glance at your Claude usage (5-hour and weekly windows). Built for trust: ⢠End-to-end encrypted. Pair your iPhone to your Mac with a one-time code; every command is sealed, so the relay only ever sees ciphertext. ⢠No account, no tracking. It talks to your own Mac, not to us. ⢠The Apple Watch app mirrors your iPhone, so the watch never holds your Mac's keys. DevFob requires the DevFob host running on your Mac (devfob.com).

The clearest difference is update cadence: Lumen Playground at every 2 weeks against DevFob's every 4 months. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
