CodeAgents Mobile vs Agentfy
CodeAgents Mobile is an SSH terminal app for running Claude Code on your servers. Agentfy is native iOS monitoring for your local agents — no SSH, no raw terminal on your phone.
CodeAgents Mobile is a native iOS app that connects to your own servers over SSH to run Claude Code with full terminal access and no relay service in between. It's a power-user tool for people who already run agents on remote boxes. Agentfy isn't a terminal at all: it watches your local Claude Code through hooks and shows status as push notifications, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island updates. No SSH, no server, no terminal UX squeezed onto a phone screen.

How Agentfy works
- Download Agentfy and grab your account token.
- Install the open-source Agentfy plugin in Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add ibrillantes/claude-code-plugin, thenclaude plugin install agentfy@agentfy --config api_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>, then/reload-plugins. It registers an Agentfy webhook in your hooks and stores your token in your OS keychain — no CLI wrapper, no daemon. (Older Claude Code? Paste the one-line setup prompt instead.) - Whenever an agent starts, needs permission, finishes, or errors, your iPhone gets a push notification, a lock-screen Live Activity, and a Dynamic Island update — in real time.
