The ADE iOS app is a companion to the desktop runtime. It does not run coding agents on the phone. Your Mac remains the execution host.

What mobile is for

Follow active work

See lanes, chats, PRs, and worker activity while away from the desktop.

Get notifications

Receive push updates for completed work, failures, questions, and review events.

Respond quickly

Review status and send small follow-up commands when the desktop runtime is reachable.

Stay synced

Pair with the local runtime so project state can mirror to the phone.

Pair your phone

1

Open Settings -> Mobile

The desktop app shows pairing status and a QR code when mobile support is available.
2

Open ADE on iOS

Scan the QR code from the iOS app.
3

Confirm connection

Desktop should show the device as paired. The phone should show the project catalog or current project state.
4

Choose notifications

Keep the events you care about, such as agent completed, agent failed, PR ready, or question waiting.

What to expect

  • Desktop must be running for local command execution.
  • Network reachability matters. Local Wi-Fi is simplest; tailnet setups can make reconnection easier.
  • Large artifacts may load on demand.
  • Sensitive source and project data remain tied to the paired desktop/runtime.
If mobile looks connected but updates do not arrive, check desktop Settings -> Mobile first, then verify both devices are on a reachable network.
