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.

Key Features

Live agent transcript streaming

Streams every token as the agent thinks, edits, and runs — 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 — 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.

Use Cases

Remote monitoring of coding agents

Read the agent's live transcript on your iPhone to keep track of what the agent is doing without being at your machine.

Approving agent actions on the go

Receive push notifications when an agent needs approval and approve or dismiss steps from your phone.

Maintaining a single live session across devices

Attach to the same agent session from LAN or over an encrypted relay so your phone reflects the exact terminal session state.

Developer workflows with existing CLIs

Integrate into existing developer workflows by attaching to agent CLIs already running in supported terminal emulators.

Integrations

Claude Code

Attach to an existing Claude Code agent session running in your terminal and stream its transcript to your phone.

Codex

Attach to Codex agent CLI sessions and monitor/approve runs from iOS.

OpenCode

Supports OpenCode agent sessions for remote monitoring and approvals.

Open-source terminals

Works with Ghostty, kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, tmux, Terminal.app for attaching to agent sessions.

iCloud / Apple ID

Pairing leverages the user's Apple ID via iCloud to discover and link the Mac agent and iPhone without a separate login.

Benefits

Real-time visibility into agent activity token-by-token on a mobile device.
No separate account required—pairing leverages your Apple ID via iCloud.
End-to-end encrypted relay ensures the forwarding server cannot read your code.
Works over LAN or cellular with the same live session continuity.
Simple onboarding and lightweight Mac agent binary (.dmg) to install.

Limitations

Does not support Warp or IDE built-in terminals (explicitly listed as unsupported).
Requires a Mac running the agent binary and an iPhone for the iOS app.
Attaches only to existing agent CLI sessions — it does not start or fork agents.
Some agents and features are listed as "Soon" (OpenClaw, Hermes), indicating parts of the roadmap are not yet available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to run my agent through port22?
No. It attaches to the Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode session already open in your terminal — it doesn't start a new one, and it doesn't fork it.
Which terminals does it work in?
Any open-source terminal: Ghostty, kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, tmux, Terminal.app. Not Warp, not an IDE's built-in terminal.
Does it work when I'm off my Wi‑Fi?
Yes. LAN at your desk; off it, an encrypted relay carries the same live session over cellular. The switch is automatic.
Can the relay read my code?
No. Payloads are end-to-end encrypted between your Mac and your phone. The relay forwards ciphertext and never holds the keys.
Is there an account to make?
No. Pairing rides your iCloud account — sign into the same Apple ID on both devices and they find each other.
What do I need?
A Mac running the agent, an iPhone, and an agent CLI you already use. Nothing else to install.
What does it cost?
Free through the beta. The site also notes port22 is free forever for 1 Mac and 2 sessions; an unlimited plan was queried at $19.99/year in the site's survey.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Run the Mac agent: download and run the single Mac binary that watches terminal sessions you point it at.
  2. 2 Pair over iCloud: sign into the same Apple ID on your Mac and iPhone to pair—no extra login required.
  3. 3 Drive from anywhere: open the iOS app, pick a session, read the live transcript, and approve actions as needed.
