Port22 enables users to control AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode from their mobile device by pairing with a Mac, receiving live notifications and approving actions in real time.
Why it matters
API Available
overview
Port22 is an AI tool developed by Harsha Chaganti that enables developers to remotely control and monitor AI coding agents from their iPhone. It provides real-time oversight and control over the AI's coding process, even when away from the desk, by pairing with a Mac.
features
Port22 offers a suite of features designed to enhance the remote management of AI coding agents, focusing on real-time interaction and secure connectivity.
use cases
Port22 is primarily designed for developers, coders, and users of AI coding agents who require remote control and real-time oversight of their AI-driven development workflows.
how to use
To use Port22, users install the application on their Mac and iPhone, ensuring both devices are signed into the same Apple ID for automatic pairing. The tool then allows for remote control and monitoring of AI coding agents.
pricing
Port22 operates on a freemium business model, offering a free tier with core functionalities and a paid subscription for expanded usage. The free tier is not a trial and provides permanent access to basic features.
Similar Tools
Port22 positions itself as a 'universal remote' for existing AI coding agents, differentiating itself through its specialized real-time notification and approval system, and broad compatibility without requiring changes to existing setups.
A cross-platform SSH client with a focus on usability and features like snippets, port forwarding, and host synchronization for managing remote servers and development environments.
While Termius allows you to execute commands and view output from your AI agent on your Mac via SSH, it lacks Port22's dedicated 'live notifications and real-time approval' system, requiring you to actively monitor the terminal or set up custom notification scripts.
Provides full graphical remote access to your Mac from your mobile device, allowing you to interact with any application running on it as if you were directly at the desktop.
VNC Viewer gives you complete visual control over your Mac, which is more general than Port22's focused AI agent interaction. You would need to manually observe the Mac's screen for agent output and approvals, rather than receiving specific mobile notifications.
A powerful and highly customizable SSH and Mosh client for iOS/iPadOS, designed for developers who want a local terminal experience with robust remote capabilities.
Blink Shell offers a robust mobile terminal experience for interacting with your Mac, similar to Termius. However, like Termius, it doesn't natively provide Port22's specialized real-time notifications and approval prompts for AI agent actions, requiring a more manual workflow.
Pushover allows you to send custom push notifications to your mobile device from any script or application, enabling a highly tailored notification and approval system when integrated with your AI agent.
This solution requires significant technical effort to script the integration with your AI agent and notification logic, unlike Port22's out-of-the-box experience. While Pushover can facilitate approval actions, setting up the full two-way communication and UI would be a manual development task.
