What is Port22?
Port22 is a companion app that puts your coding agents on your phone. It connects to Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode sessions already running in your Mac's terminal and mirrors them live to your iPhone. You read the transcript as the agent works, get a push notification when it needs you, and approve actions with a tap — no wrapper, no new terminal, no configuration. It's currently in beta and free for one Mac with two sessions, with every feature included.
Who it's for
- The walk-away developer — someone who starts long agent runs and wants to step away without babysitting the terminal.
- The multi-tasker — a developer juggling several agent sessions who needs a quick glance at what's stuck and what's progressing.
- The on-the-go coder — anyone who wants to monitor and approve agent work from another room, a commute, or anywhere off their desk.
Key features
Live transcript streaming
Every token the agent thinks, edits, and runs is streamed straight to your phone. You're not waiting for a summary — you're reading the actual session as it happens, in real time.
Instant approval notifications
When the agent finishes or needs permission, a push lands on your phone. Open it and tap the exact option the agent offered — not a guessed keystroke — and the session continues without you being chained to the desk.
Always-in-view status
A live count sits in the Dynamic Island, and the full roster of active sessions appears on your lock screen. You never need to open the app to know where things stand.
Secure remote access
On your home network, Port22 connects over LAN. Away from home, an end-to-end-encrypted relay forwards the session over cellular — the relay never holds the keys and can't read your code. Pairing rides your iCloud account, so there's no separate login.
What stands out
Port22 attaches to what you already run — it drives the session you started, not a fork of it.
That's the core difference. Most agent tools want you to adopt a new workflow or a new terminal. Port22 simply watches the sessions you already have open in Ghostty, kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, tmux, or Terminal.app, and mirrors them to your phone. It's a zero-config attachment, not a replacement. The iCloud pairing is equally frictionless — sign into the same Apple ID on both devices and they find each other, no QR codes or new accounts.
Worth checking out if…
You're already running Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode on a Mac and you've ever felt trapped by an agent that stalls waiting for your approval. If you want to step away from the desk without losing visibility or control, Port22 is worth a spot on your waitlist. It's free through the beta, so there's no cost to trying it when it lands.
