CodeMote

What it does

CodeMote pairs your iPhone to your machine or VPS and gives you real terminal sessions. It works with any CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) and provides live terminal output on your lock screen, push notifications when the agent needs approval, full diff viewer, and complete git flow (stage, commit, push, branch, history). The connection is direct and encrypted; your code never touches CodeMote's servers.

Who it is for

CodeMote is for developers who use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) and want to monitor, approve, or redirect agent work from their iPhone or iPad. It's also for anyone who needs to access a terminal, edit files, run dev servers, or manage git on their remote machine from a mobile device. It works with VS Code, Cursor, Antigravity, and other VS Code forks, or standalone via CLI on any machine with Node.js (including headless servers).

Why it matters

Existing AI agent phone apps (Claude, Codex, Cursor) are limited to chat-based interaction and are locked to a specific agent. CodeMote gives you a real terminal with full machine access: you can see the actual diff, open and edit files, run dev servers, and execute git commands. This means you can approve changes with full context, not just a chat summary. It also allows you to start a long agent run at your desk and then leave, approving or redirecting from your phone when the agent needs input.

Launch signal

CodeMote launched on Product Hunt and is available as an iOS/iPadOS app. The website includes a comparison table positioning CodeMote against official agent apps, highlighting its real terminal, multi-agent support, full diff viewer, file editing, dev server streaming, and full git flow. The app offers a 7-day free trial.

Brand and naming

The name "CodeMote" combines "code" with "mote" (a small particle or remote device), suggesting a lightweight, remote coding tool. The tagline "Your agent doesn't stop when you stand up" clearly communicates the core value proposition of mobile agent control. The brand positions itself as a universal remote for AI coding agents, contrasting with locked-in, chat-only alternatives.
