# Port22 Port22 is an iPhone remote control for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode sessions running on a Mac, letting developers read transcripts, respond, and handle permission prompts away from the desk. Canonical URL: https://aiidelist.com/ide/port22 Language: en Updated: 2026-08-28 ## Overview - Category: Developer Workflow Tools - Port22 is a lightweight mobile control surface for coding agents that continue to run on a developer's Mac. It focuses on monitoring and approvals rather than moving the whole agent into a new cloud platform. - Editor base: iPhone and Mac - Platforms: iPhone, macOS - Open source: No - Local model support: No - Bring your own API key: No ## Quick verdict A narrow but useful mobile control product that complements coding agents instead of competing with them. ## Best for - Developers who leave Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode running on a Mac. - Users who need to approve or guide tasks while mobile. - People seeking a lightweight remote rather than cloud migration. ## Strengths - Does not require moving the coding session to another harness. - Permission prompts are practical to handle from a phone. - Focused scope keeps the mobile interface understandable. - Useful for long-running local agent work. ## Limitations - Android users. - Teams that need a shared multi-user control plane. - Developers seeking a cloud-hosted agent runtime. - Requires a Mac and an iPhone. - It is a remote control, not a full coding workspace. - Secure connectivity and device authentication are critical. - Support is limited to compatible agent sessions. # Port22 Review 2026 Port22 is an iPhone remote control for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode sessions running on a Mac, letting developers read transcripts, respond, and handle permission prompts away from the desk. ## What Is Port22? Port22 is a lightweight mobile control surface for coding agents that continue to run on a developer's Mac. It focuses on monitoring and approvals rather than moving the whole agent into a new cloud platform. The product connects to existing local sessions instead of wrapping another model or replacing the coding harness. ## Core Features ### Session Monitoring - View live transcripts - Follow agent progress - Switch between supported sessions - Stay connected away from the Mac ### Remote Control - Reply to the agent - Handle permission prompts - Continue existing sessions - Use the same local harness ### Supported Agents - Claude Code - OpenAI Codex - OpenCode - Mac-hosted workflows ## How It Fits an Agentic Development Workflow Port22 is most useful when its permissions, repository scope, model access, and review checkpoints are configured before the first large task. Start with a bounded project, verify the generated changes or analysis, and only then expand access. This matters because agentic tools can move faster than a conventional assistant and can also amplify a bad assumption. For teams, the practical evaluation should cover setup time, context quality, task completion rate, review burden, model or infrastructure cost, security controls, and how easily a human can interrupt or redirect work. ## Best Use Cases - Developers who leave Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode running on a Mac. - Users who need to approve or guide tasks while mobile. - People seeking a lightweight remote rather than cloud migration. ## Pricing - **App access: Current App Store terms.** Availability and in-app pricing should be checked in the current release. Pricing and limits can change quickly.

Review pairing, transport encryption, device authentication, session scope, notification privacy, and revocation behavior. Any coding agent or developer tool with repository, terminal, browser, or secret access should be introduced with least-privilege credentials, protected branches, mandatory review, isolated test environments, and clear log-retention rules. ## Limitations - Requires a Mac and an iPhone. - It is a remote control, not a full coding workspace. - Secure connectivity and device authentication are critical. - Support is limited to compatible agent sessions. ## Alternatives - Cindy Agent - Skydive - Cursor Cloud Agents - Warp The best alternative depends on whether the priority is an AI-native editor, a terminal harness, autonomous cloud execution, code review, mobile control, or a shared orchestration layer. ## Verdict A narrow but useful mobile control product that complements coding agents instead of competing with them. ## Official Sources - [Official Port22 website](https://www.tryport22.com/) ## Features ### Session Monitoring - View live transcripts - Follow agent progress - Switch between supported sessions - Stay connected away from the Mac ### Remote Control - Reply to the agent - Handle permission prompts - Continue existing sessions - Use the same local harness ### Supported Agents - Claude Code - OpenAI Codex - OpenCode - Mac-hosted workflows ## Pricing app - App access: Current App Store terms — Availability and in-app pricing should be checked in the current release.
