Read full descriptionHide full description
NodCue helps developers review approval requests from supported AI coding agents on iPhone and Apple Watch. Pair your computer, inspect each request, and allow or deny it before it expires. Key features: • Receive approval requests on iPhone and Apple Watch • Review the computer, project, agent, tool, and requested action • Allow or deny time-limited requests • See pending requests and recent decisions • Pair and manage a trusted computer • Support for Codex and Claude Code NodCue keeps authorization separate from execution status. Allowing a request does not claim that the command completed successfully, and expired requests cannot be approved later. A supported computer bridge, a NodCue account, and an internet connection are required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NodCue at none against Expo Go's shown. NodCue also leads on update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Expo Go's advantage is chart position (#8 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
