Where each tool wins

Fair is fair

Every tool on this list has a clear strength. Here's when to reach for each one.

Pocketpane — AI agent supervision on any mobile device

If you run Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or Aider and want to approve tool calls, read live transcripts, and intervene from your phone while away from your desk, Pocketpane is the only tool built specifically for this workflow. It also bundles a terminal, file browser, Git viewer, and dev-server preview — all optimized for a 6-inch screen.

Termius — best-in-class mobile SSH client

If you need a polished, reliable SSH experience with Mosh, port forwarding, SFTP, and a native app, Termius has the most mature mobile terminal on the market. It doesn't know what an AI agent is, but for raw terminal access it's the standard. Many Pocketpane users will run both.

Tailscale — zero-config mesh networking

If your goal is secure, reliable access to every device on your personal or company network — including the machine running your agents — Tailscale's WireGuard mesh is the fastest way to get there. It complements Pocketpane rather than competes with it: use Tailscale for the network layer and Pocketpane for the supervision layer.

Happy Coder — mobile code editing and SSH

If you want to write code, run commands, and manage files from an iPhone without setting up a server-side component, Happy Coder is a solid native option. No agent awareness, but great for light dev work directly on a mobile device.

Anthropic Computer Use — fully autonomous agent control

If you need an AI that can operate a computer end-to-end without a human directing each step — clicking through GUIs, filling forms, running arbitrary workflows — Claude's computer use API is genuinely unique. The tradeoffs: it's Claude-only, operates via screenshots rather than a native UI, and every interaction costs API tokens.
