MAC + IPHONE

Your Claude Code sessions, in your pocket.

Pair your iPhone with the Macs where Claude Code already runs. Pick up any session, answer permission prompts, and watch tools work. Code and credentials stay on your machines.

Run the migration tests again and fix what fails.

Two tests failed on a missing index. I added it and both pass now.

01 / HOSTS

Every Mac, one list

Pair a work Mac, a home Mac and a Linux box. Switch hosts from the account menu; each keeps its own projects.

02 / ACCOUNTS

Personal and work, kept apart

Each CLI login uses its own config directory, so sessions, history and usage never mix.

03 / VS CODE

Continue editor sessions

Send messages into a Claude Code session that is still open in VS Code, right where you left it.

04 / APPROVALS

Answer prompts anywhere

Permission requests, plan reviews and questions arrive as cards you can allow, deny or answer.

05 / PROGRESS

See what Claude is doing

Streaming replies, tool calls, sub-agents, edited files and MCP calls, as the CLI records them.

06 / PRIVATE

Local first

No Pocket CLI account and no cloud copy. Your phone talks to your host over your LAN, VPN or your own tunnel.

Questions

Do I need a Claude subscription?

Yes. Pocket CLI drives the Claude Code CLI already signed in on your Mac. It never asks for your Claude password or token.

Is this an official Anthropic app?

No. Pocket CLI is an independent client built on the public Claude Code CLI and Agent SDK.

What happens when my phone locks?

The task keeps running on the host. When you come back, Pocket CLI syncs the latest progress.

Which hosts are supported?

macOS 14+ with the bundled host, or any Mac or Linux machine running the open host service.
