Claude Code and Codex in Your Pocket

Remote Codetrol consists of three components:

• Claude or ChatGPT Subscription (Required): The application does not provide any AI credits
• Mac Server (Required): macOS 15.6+, runs in the background managing AI connections
• iOS Client App (Beta): iOS 18.0+, available via TestFlight
• Mac Client App (Alpha): macOS 15.6+, email support@remotecodetrol.ai for access

The server is required. You can use either the iOS app, Mac client app, or both. Devices connect over your local network (or VPN/Tailscale for remote access).

Your code never leaves your infrastructure. The server runs on your Mac, conversations are stored locally, and the iOS app connects over your local network.

For remote access, we recommend using secure tunneling methods like VPN or Tailscale. The server uses API key authentication and never exposes to the public internet unless you explicitly configure it.

All data stays on your devices—no third-party servers, no cloud storage, complete privacy.

Yes, you need access to at least one AI coding tool. Remote Codetrol supports both Claude Code (via the Claude Agent SDK) and OpenAI Codex. You can use either one or both together.

The server communicates with these AI services on your behalf—Remote Codetrol is the mobile interface, not a replacement for the AI tools themselves.

Out of the box, Remote Codetrol works on your local network only. For remote access when you're away from home, you can use:

• VPN: Most secure—connect to your home network via VPN
• Tailscale: Easiest—zero-config mesh VPN
• ngrok: Quick tunneling solution
• SSH port forwarding: For advanced users

The server never exposes to the public internet unless you explicitly configure it. We recommend VPN or Tailscale for security.

ChatGPT can't reach your repo, shells, or tools. Remote Codetrol keeps Claude Code and Codex anchored to your Mac, so the agents still have filesystem and command access while you steer them from iOS with guardrails in place.

Anything you'd ask the desktop agents to handle: review diffs they propose, approve or deny file operations, trigger saved Quick Actions (tests, builds, deploys), inspect logs, and keep the conversation flowing—all through a native mobile interface.

Because that's not a pleasant mobile experience. Remote Codetrol is a native iOS app designed specifically for natural mobile interaction with AI agents.

You get beautiful markdown rendering, gesture controls, permission management, Quick Actions, bookmarks, and real-time notifications—everything a modern mobile app should be.

Quick Actions turn any script or command into a one-tap button on your phone. Examples:

• Build and deploy your iOS app
• Run your test suite
• Deploy to production
• Git commit and push

The AI can help you create these scripts, then you just tap a button to execute them. It's the killer feature for mobile development productivity.

Yes, as long as your employer allows AI coding tools. Remote Codetrol is just an interface—it doesn't change what Claude Code or Codex can do, it just lets you access them from your phone.

Since everything runs on your own infrastructure, your code never goes through our servers.

Your code never leaves your infrastructure. Remote Codetrol is self-hosted:

• All conversations stored locally on your Mac
• No code or file contents collected
• No user tracking or analytics
• Beta: Anonymous crash/diagnostic reports only (no user IDs)

We collect minimal, anonymous diagnostic data during beta to improve stability. Your code and conversations remain private.
