SessionBell vs Intent Mobile

Leave your computer freely. Your local AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex and more) now run for long stretches, needing only the occasional approval or nudge. SessionBell puts that on your iPhone — so you can step away and still stay in control: • Rings only when it should — a task is waiting for input, has finished, or is asking to run a command. Delivered straight to your Lock Screen. Idle detection stays quiet while you're at your desk. • Every machine, one panel — a live Lock Screen view of all your Macs and Windows PCs: waiting / running / done, ticking in real time, no unlock. • Approve with one tap — allow or deny a command right on the Lock Screen card. No need to walk back to your computer. • Steer and see the terminal — send the next instruction to a session, watch real terminal output, even start a new session remotely. • Usage at a glance — this week's limits and premium-model usage, official numbers. Works with a free desktop companion for Mac and Windows — one command to pair after install. SessionBell is MIT-licensed open source, fully auditable and self-hostable — your data can flow through your own server only. Privacy by design: only project names, machine names, and status summaries are sent, never your source files. No ads, no tracking. GitHub: github.com/westie-ai/session-bell

Large-scale agent coordination for developers, from anywhere. Run hundreds of agents in parallel and direct every one of them from your iPhone or iPad. Intent gives each task or project its own workspace with its own team of agents, keeps many workspaces running at once across multiple computers, and Intent Mobile lets you monitor, manage, and drive every workspace from the device in your hand. Intent Mobile requires the Intent desktop app running on a computer on the same local network. - Browse your workspaces and see their status at a glance. - Read the specs guiding your agents, including goals, tasks, and decisions. - Follow notes and documents as the work evolves. - Track task progress across your workspaces. - Follow agent conversations in real time, send messages, and answer questions. Pair by scanning the QR code in Intent’s desktop settings, or enter your connection details manually. Save multiple connections and switch between them at any time. If a connection drops, Intent Mobile reconnects automatically when your computer is reachable again. Intent Mobile connects directly to your computer over an encrypted local connection, without a cloud relay. The mobile app requires no account and includes no analytics or tracking. You can revoke access by rotating the pairing token in the desktop app. Requires iOS 18 or later.
