CC Pocket
CC Pocket is a mobile and desktop app for controlling Codex and Claude coding-agent sessions. Run the agents through a self-hosted Bridge Server on your own Mac, Linux, or Windows machine, then start sessions, approve actions, answer questions, review changes, and pick up work from iPhone, iPad, Android, native macOS, or experimental Linux/Windows desktop builds. Experimental Linux and Windows desktop builds are also available from GitHub Releases.

Install
-
Install at least one agent CLI on the machine that will run your sessions: Codex or Claude Code. For Codex on macOS/Linux, the current standalone installer is:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh. -
Install Node.js 18 or newer on that same machine.
-
Start the CC Pocket Bridge Server:
npx @ccpocket/bridge@latest
-
Install CC Pocket and scan the QR code printed by the Bridge Server.
-
Pick a project, choose Codex or Claude, and start coding from the app.
Platform Install
iOS / iPadOS
Android
macOS
Download the latest .dmg from GitHub Releases. Look for releases tagged macos/v*. You can also install using Homebrew Cask with brew install --cask cc-pocket.
Linux (experimental)
Download the latest .tar.gz from GitHub Releases. Look for releases tagged linux/v*. Alternatively, install the community-maintained AUR package with yay -S cc-pocket-bin.
Windows (experimental)
Download the latest .zip from GitHub Releases. Look for releases tagged windows/v*.
Free to Use
CC Pocket is free to use. If it helps your workflow, please consider becoming a Supporter in the app. Supporter purchases help cover development and AI tooling costs.

What You Can Do
-
Control Codex and Claude anywhere: start sessions from the app, resume recent sessions created in the CLI or app, and move between phone, tablet, and Mac without losing context.
-
Stay in the approval loop: approve commands, file edits, MCP requests, and agent questions from a mobile-first UI without returning to your keyboard.
-
Explore and review the workspace: browse project files with Explorer, inspect git diffs and image diffs, stage changes, commit, push, or revert them.
-
Write rich prompts on mobile: use Markdown, completions, voice input, and image attachments.
-
Keep working on spotty networks: recover missed streaming updates, queue outgoing messages while offline, and resend automatically after reconnecting.
-
Work in parallel safely: run sessions in separate git worktrees and keep long-running work isolated.
-
Manage your machines: save hosts, connect with QR codes or mDNS discovery, use Tailscale, start/stop/update over SSH, and receive push notifications.
-
Use larger screens when helpful: CC Pocket adapts to iPad, macOS, Linux, and Windows with workspace layouts for chat, Git, Explorer, screenshots, and images.
Why Fork CC Pocket?
CC Pocket is MIT licensed so you can treat it as a starting point for your own agent workflow, not only as a finished app.
-
Build an internal client that combines Codex or Claude with your team's Jira, Linear, GitHub, or private REST APIs.
-
Remove surfaces you do not need and keep a focused app for your daily workflow.
-
Reuse the Bridge sync layer, approval flow, prompt history, git operations, file browsing, and image/diff viewers instead of rebuilding them from scratch.
-
Keep compatibility with the local agent tools and their session history while adding workflow-specific GUI features that are easier to use than prompts or MCP.
-
Extend desktop support. macOS, Linux, and Windows builds are available today; Linux and Windows remain experimental because the project does not have the same continuous verification coverage for those environments.
For a deeper implementation overview, see the technical stack page or the agent-readable Markdown.
How It Works
CC Pocket has two parts:
CC Pocket app <-> Bridge Server on your machine <-> Codex / Claude
The app is the interface you use. The Bridge Server runs locally on the machine that has access to your projects, shell, git repository, and agent CLI. Your code stays on your own machine instead of moving into a hosted IDE.
Remote Access
On the same network, connect with the QR code, mDNS discovery, or a manual
ws:// / wss:// URL.
For access away from home or the office, Tailscale is the recommended setup:
-
Install Tailscale on your host machine and phone.
-
Join the same tailnet.
-
Connect to
ws://<host-tailscale-ip>:8765from CC Pocket.
For an always-on host, the Bridge Server can also be registered as a background service:
npx @ccpocket/bridge@latest setup
Service setup supports macOS launchd and Linux systemd.
For Bridge flags and persisted service settings such as BRIDGE_ALLOWED_DIRS,
see the Bridge package README.
Notes
-
Claude sessions use
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYby default. Subscription authentication requires explicit Bridge opt-in withBRIDGE_ALLOW_CLAUDE_OAUTH=1because Anthropic's current official guidance has an unclear scope for this architecture. See Claude authentication troubleshooting. -
CC Pocket is designed around self-hosting and minimal data collection. Supporter purchases restore within the same Apple ID or Google account, but do not sync across stores. See Supporter / Purchases.
-
Screenshot capture on macOS requires Screen Recording permission for the terminal app running the Bridge Server.
-
CC Pocket is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Anthropic or OpenAI.
