Vibe Code vs Agentfy
Vibe Code relays your Claude Code session to your phone so you can continue it remotely. Agentfy just watches and alerts — native iOS status, no wrapper, no relay.
Vibe Code (also seen as Vicoa) is a CLI-wrapper-plus-mobile-app: you run its command in place of claude, and it relays your session to a mobile app so you can continue working remotely. It's a managed remote-control experience with account-based sign-in. Agentfy doesn't replace the claude command or relay your session — it reads Claude Code's hook events and turns them into push notifications, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island updates. You can't continue a session in Agentfy; it's there to tell you when one needs you.

Which should you choose?
Choose Agentfy if…
You want to keep running Claude Code exactly as you do now and just get native, glanceable alerts when an agent needs you — without routing your sessions through another tool.
Choose Vibe Code if…
You want to actively continue and reply to Claude Code sessions from your phone and don't mind starting them through a wrapper.
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.
