Guides
Your coding agents run on your Mac. These guides are about reaching them — and the rest of the Mac — from your phone, with the options compared honestly.
How-to
- Run Claude Code from your iPhone — answer its questions, review the diff, start new sessions.
- Use Codex CLI from your iPhone — approvals as buttons, the real terminal, git.
- Control your Mac terminal from iPhone — a real shell, with or without SSH.
- Use Gemini CLI from your iPhone — start it, leave, answer it from the phone.
- Get notified when Claude Code needs you — a free hook, or answering from the notification.
- Review a git diff on your iPhone — an agent's uncommitted changes, staged line by line.
- A Mac mini as your AI agent server — power, login, backups and access from the phone.
Comparisons
- ShiftStage vs SSH + tmux + Tailscale — the do-it-yourself setup, and when it is the better choice.
- ShiftStage vs Claude Code Remote Control — one session's conversation, or the whole Mac.
- ShiftStage vs Termius, Blink Shell and Moshi — SSH apps, and when they are the better fit.
