AFK - AI Code Terminal
Stream Your Terminal to Phone
Only for iPhone
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Code from anywhere: stream Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and terminal sessions to your iPhone with live updates and secure control.
Move your AI coding sessions from desktop to phone without SSH, VPNs, or exposing your computer to the internet.
AFK streams your live terminal session to your iPhone over outbound WebSockets, so it works in most restricted networks where inbound SSH or remote desktop setups are blocked.
Use Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or any terminal command on your computer. When you step away, AFK keeps the same session in your pocket so you can monitor progress, approve prompts, type replies, and steer the work from anywhere.
Try AFK instantly with the free live demo, or connect your own machine in minutes.
WHY DEVELOPERS USE AFK
AI coding agents can work for hours, but they still need you for tool approvals, error decisions, direction changes, and quick replies. AFK keeps your agent moving without keeping you at your desk.
- Start work on desktop and continue from iPhone
- Watch terminal sessions live with GPU-accelerated rendering
- Approve prompts and tool calls remotely
- Type commands or use precision voice input
- Get mobile alerts when your agent needs attention
- Works without SSH, VPNs, port forwarding, or remote desktop
HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the AFK CLI on your machine
2. Run your agent or terminal command with AFK
3. Open the iPhone app
4. Monitor, approve, and respond from anywhere
AFK uses outbound WebSocket streaming, so your computer does not need to accept inbound connections. No router changes. No public ports. No messy network setup.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
v1.6.0 makes AFK easier to try and set up. You can start with a live demo, connect your computer with a clearer setup flow, and launch sessions more reliably with daemon-first startup.
This release also adds session tags and live context metadata, improves Codex and agent CLI hooks, handles iOS background suspension better, fixes reconnect edge cases, and stops streams cleanly on logout.
