Port22

Your coding agents, in your pocket

What it is

Port22 is a Mac companion app that mirrors your Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Aider sessions live to your iPhone, so you can read the transcript, get pushed a notification the moment an agent needs approval, and tap the exact option it offered instead of guessing at a keystroke. It connects over LAN at home and through an end-to-end encrypted relay away from it, with no wrapper or extra terminal required. It's currently in beta and free for one Mac with two simultaneous sessions.

Approving coding agent actions remotely without being at your deskMonitoring multiple parallel agent sessions from one phone screenKeeping a long-running agent task moving while away from your Mac

What you get free vs paid

Verdict

Where it wins and loses

Pros

Attaches to CLI agents you already run, no wrapper, no config, no new terminal
Pushes a real approval prompt to your phone instead of forcing you to guess a keystroke
End-to-end encrypted relay for away-from-home use; the relay can't read your code
Free in beta for one Mac and two sessions, with every feature included

Cons

Mac-only on the desktop side, with no Linux or Windows agent support
Beta product with no published long-term pricing beyond the free tier
Only useful if you already run CLI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex, not a standalone tool
Competing directly with vendor-built mobile companions now shipped by Cursor and Codex themselves

A genuinely useful stopgap if you run multiple CLI coding agents and want one phone app to supervise all of them, though vendor-built alternatives from Cursor and Codex may catch up fast.
