Connect — Agent IDE
Take over your desktop agents
$0.99
Connect for iPhone is the companion to Connect for Mac. It connects straight to a Mac you own, so you can follow and steer the coding agents, terminals and collaboration rooms running there while you are away from your desk.
What you can do
- See every project and session on your Mac: agent panels, shells and collaboration rooms.
- Read live terminal output, laid out for a phone screen, with full scrollback.
- Take over a session to type, paste, send images or answer a prompt, then hand control back to the Mac.
- Start a new agent, shell or collaboration session in a project you have already trusted on the Mac.
- Follow Claude and Codex working together in a collaboration room and step in with a message.
Private by design
- The iPhone connects only to your own Mac: over your local network, your private Tailscale network, or a relay server you run yourself. There is no Connect server or account, and your own relay only forwards encrypted data.
- Pairing requires scanning a QR code on the Mac and confirming the same security code on both screens.
- New devices start read-only. Write access is granted on the Mac, and you can revoke a device at any time.
- Connect does not collect data. Projects and sessions stay on your Mac.
What you need
- Connect for Mac (free download from the Connect website), on an Apple silicon Mac with macOS 12 or later.
- Your Mac and iPhone on the same local network, both signed in to Tailscale, or set up with your own relay.
- The command-line tools you want to use, installed and signed in on the Mac by you. Connect works with Claude Code and Codex CLI that you install and license yourself; it does not include or sell any AI service, account or usage.
Connect for iPhone is a one-time purchase with no subscription or in-app purchases.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Pair and connect through a relay you host yourself; Tailscale or the same Wi-Fi network is no longer required.
- The terminal now uses a native renderer: complete output, opens at the latest line, with no duplicated or missing lines and no font-size jumps.
- Projects and sessions show the same status lights as on the Mac, and results you read on the phone are cleared on the Mac too.
- Preview Word and Excel files; file lists and iPad tabs now use colored file-type icons.
- Fixed an extra blank row under the iPad tab bar and several pairing and connection issues.
