Read full description

CodeConnect puts every coding-agent session running on your own computer into your hand. Works with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Steer an agent mid-run, answer the permission prompt it is blocked on, review its diff, or take over its terminal outright. Your sessions travel directly between the app and the CodeConnect daemon on your own machine. No server sits in between, and your code never leaves your own devices. The single CodeConnect-operated service is a content-free push relay, described in full in the privacy policy. WHAT IT DOES • A fleet view. Every agent, what it is asking for, and how long it has been waiting. • Approvals that show the real command. Risk-tiered: a read is one tap, while a destructive command needs a deliberate hold and a biometric confirmation. The command is never truncated or faded, because a hidden suffix is exactly where a dangerous argument hides. • Codex, with its own options. A Codex request is answered with the choices Codex actually offered, including the exact scope of "don't ask again". Stop a running turn, or send a message that starts a turn when Codex is idle and joins the running one when it is busy. • Nothing decides without you. A prompt is held open until you answer it. If the daemon cannot be reached, the decision falls back to your keyboard rather than being silently answered on your behalf. • Diff review that works on a small screen. Unified, monospace, word-level highlighting, and a comment back to the agent on any hunk. • Talk to it. The compose bar stages text into the agent's prompt; template chips insert rather than send. Dictation is handled by the system speech recognizer, and a transcript is always staged for your review, never sent automatically. • A real terminal. Attach to the live session over the connection the app is already paired on, and take over completely. • It never lies about state. Every fact shows its age, a stale link disables actions and says why, and "answered at the keyboard" is a state the app renders rather than a guess. WHAT YOU NEED • A computer running macOS 13 or later, with the free CodeConnect daemon installed from codeconnect.sh (0.7.0 or later for Codex). Apple silicon and Intel are both supported. • tmux on that machine. • A network path from your phone to it — the same Wi-Fi, or any private network you operate. Tailscale is a common choice, and is optional. • iOS 17 or later. CodeConnect is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the vendors of the coding agents it supervises.

Python Code Cards

Read full description

Try the Python code you just found, right on your iPhone or iPad. See why it works by stepping through it. Python Code Cards combines an offline Python 3.14 runtime, an editor, and a step debugger with a notebook for your small code experiments. MADE FOR SMALL EXPERIMENTS • Check a snippet while reading a tutorial • Follow a loop or branch and inspect changing values • Keep useful code with your own notes START WITH CODE THAT ALREADY RUNS Five editable samples include FizzBuzz, Fibonacci, Binary Search, Bubble Sort, and Recursive Factorial. Change a number or condition and compare the results. This is a place to run and explore code, rather than a course or quiz app. PAUSE A LINE. SEE THE VALUES. Set breakpoints from line numbers. Continue, pause, step over, step into, and step out. Inspect variables, watch expressions, the call stack, and output as you debug. KEEP EACH EXPERIMENT AS A CARD Add code cards and notes. Edit, duplicate, collapse, and reorder them. Source, breakpoints, watches, and recent results stay together on your device. WRITE AND CHECK WITH LESS FRICTION Python syntax highlighting and local completion for keywords, built-ins, and symbols in your code. See standard output, exception lines, execution time, and resulting variables. Choose System, Light, or Dark appearance and switch the interface among 10 languages. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. The core app works without an internet connection. No analytics, tracking, or cloud sync. Cards and settings remain in local app storage and are not automatically sent to the developer. WHAT IS INCLUDED The bundled Python standard library is supported. Installing third-party packages with pip, AI completion, and cloud execution are not supported. Normal execution has a time limit.
