From GitHub's daily star counts.
Checked on GitHub.
Overview
Codync runs a Rust host (codync-host) on your computer that drives coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini over the Agent Client Protocol, exposing each as a named bot with its own project folder and approval policy. You chat with bots from a SwiftUI iPhone app, an Electron desktop app, or a terminal UI, with group chats, approval cards and push notifications. Remote access uses a direct connection, Tailscale, or an end-to-end encrypted Cloudflare relay.
Who it is for: Developers who want to drive local coding agents from their phone
Strengths
- Works with ~40 agents from the ACP registry; each bot picks its own
- Runs agents on your existing subscriptions; no provider API calls with your login
- Single static Rust host binary for macOS, Windows and Linux, with SQLite transcripts
- Scriptable: codync-host send --wait --json returns structured results with exit codes
Weaknesses
- iPhone app is an App Store download and can lag host releases
- Windows lacks remote screen, on-device speech and the Claude Code status line hook
- Claude Code, Codex and Pi adapters need Node.js via npx
- Remote access beyond your network needs the hosted Cloudflare relay and an account
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Node.js (for Claude Code, Codex, Pi ACP adapters), Installed coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.), Cloudflare relay (optional, remote access)
- Models: Agent Client Protocol agents, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI
- port 19222
