The Remote Control for Your AI Engineering Team
Keep your AI coding agents running — even when you’re away from your desk. The amux iOS app connects to your agent fleet and puts full monitoring, steering, and recovery in your pocket.

It’s a companion app, not an agent creator
Think about how other tools handle mobile:
- GitHub Mobile — doesn’t run CI; lets you monitor it
- Vercel Mobile — doesn’t build your app; lets you watch deploys
- Tailscale — doesn’t run your servers; lets you reach them
- Kubernetes Dashboard — doesn’t schedule pods; shows what’s running
- amux iOS — doesn’t run your agents; lets you monitor and control them
Your Claude Code sessions, Codex sessions, and Gemini CLI sessions run on your laptop or a server. amux is the operations console you carry around.
What you can do from your phone
| Use case | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Check overnight runs | Wake up, open amux, scan the board — see what finished without going to your desk |
| Approve permission prompts | An agent waiting for your input? Find it in the session list and unblock it in two taps |
| See why an agent stalled | Tap the session → peek panel → read live terminal output to find the exact error |
| Assign a new task | Drop a follow-up task on any idle session directly from the board tab |
| Steer with new context | Send an instruction mid-run from the steering bar to redirect an agent |
| Keep coding while traveling | Your fleet keeps shipping; you keep full visibility from any network |
Two ways to access your control center
A. Native iOS App (recommended)
- Native SwiftUI feel with optimized touch targets (≥44×44px)
- Full peek panel, plan strip, and steering bar
- Subagent transcript switcher ↑/↓ navigation
- App Store ID: id6760410435
B. Progressive Web App (iOS & Android)
Open your amux server URL (http://<your-laptop-ip>:8822) in Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android) and tap “Add to Home Screen.”
- Standalone full-screen icon — feels like a native app
- Offline action queue via Background Sync
- No App Store required — works on Android too
- Note: Safari is required for iOS PWA installation; Chrome on iOS cannot install PWAs

Frequently asked questions
What does the amux iOS app actually do?
It’s the remote control for your AI engineering team. The app connects to your amux server and lets you monitor live Claude Code sessions, approve pending actions, inspect terminal output via the peek panel, steer agents with new instructions, manage the kanban board, and recover stalled sessions — all from your iPhone. It doesn’t create agents; it monitors and manages them while they run on your laptop or server.
Is the iOS app different from the web dashboard?
The iOS app is optimized for one-handed mobile use with touch targets ≥44px, a native SwiftUI feel, and a peek panel that reflows to phone width. The web dashboard is the full desktop experience. Both connect to the same amux server, so changes sync in real time.
How do I connect when I’m away from home?
Use amux tunnel (amux tunnel start 8822 — requires amux cloud) for a stable public HTTPS URL. Or use Tailscale for encrypted remote access over any network. Both work seamlessly with the iOS app.
What can I do from the iOS app?
You can: see all agent sessions with live status dots; peek at terminal output and the plan strip for any agent; send steering instructions; continue, stop, or restart sessions; manage board issues; check notes and CRM; and approve permission prompts before agents stall.
Is there an Android app?
There’s no native Android app, but amux’s dashboard is a full Progressive Web App (PWA). Open your amux URL in Chrome for Android and tap “Add to Home Screen” — you get a standalone installable app with offline action queuing via Background Sync.
