Port22
port22 is a Mac agent + iOS app workflow for developers who run coding agents in their terminals. The Mac binary watches terminal sessions you point it at and streams the agent's live token-by-token transcript to your iPhone so you can read, monitor, and approve actions remotely. Pairing uses your Apple ID via iCloud (no separate account) and a LAN-first encrypted relay forwards ciphertext when off-network, ensuring the relay never holds keys.
The product attaches to an existing agent session rather than starting or forking it, and targets users of agent CLIs such as Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. The site describes a simple three-step onboarding (run the Mac agent, pair over iCloud, and drive from anywhere) and offers a beta waitlist with the Mac agent downloadable as a .dmg.

Live agent transcript streaming
Streams every token as the agent thinks, edits, and runs β the live transcript is sent to your phone so you can read the agent's progress in real time.
Remote approvals & notifications
Push notifications notify you when an agent finishes or needs approval; open the app to approve actions without returning to your terminal.
Mac agent binary
A single Mac binary watches terminal sessions you point it at; the site provides a downloadable .dmg for Apple silicon + Intel.
iCloud pairing (no separate account)
Pairing rides your Apple ID β sign into the same Apple ID on Mac and iPhone and devices find each other without a new login or QR flow.
LAN-first with end-to-end encrypted relay
Uses LAN when available; when off-network an end-to-end encrypted relay forwards ciphertext and never holds the encryption keys.
Attach to existing sessions (no forking)
Attaches to the agent session already open in your terminal rather than starting a new or forked session.
Terminal compatibility list
Works with open-source terminals such as Ghostty, kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, tmux, Terminal.app (explicitly not Warp or IDE built-in terminals).
Agent compatibility
Supports existing agent CLIs including Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode; mentions additional agents (OpenClaw, Hermes) as coming soon.
