Use Claude Code and Codex on your Mac from your iPhone

Yes, with Maccess Pro your iPhone can drive Claude Code running on your Mac. Start a task in one of your projects, follow its progress as it streams, answer questions, and approve edits from the phone. Claude Code itself runs on the Mac with your own Claude account.

• Start a task in a project folder: the current one, a recent one, or a new project. • Attach photos, or point the agent at files on your Mac. • Watch replies, reasoning, tool steps, the agent's to-do plan, and shell output as they stream. • Approve or deny Claude Code's permission requests. • Review what changed, file by file, in a read-only diff view. • Pick up earlier Claude Code and Codex sessions where you left off.

Mackie works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok Build, and local models through Ollama, alongside Maccess AI. Each agent runs with its own command-line tool on your Mac.

• Maccess Pro or Max. AI coding agents are not part of the Free plan. • A Mac running macOS 15.6 or newer with free Maccess Helper. • The agent's command-line tool installed on the Mac and signed in with your own account. Maccess can start the official installer and open sign-in for you, but you finish signing in on the Mac.

1. Pair your iPhone with Maccess Helper on the Mac (setup steps). 2. Install and sign in to Claude Code or Codex on the Mac, or start the install from Maccess settings and finish signing in at the Mac. 3. Open Mackie in Maccess and choose Claude Code or Codex as its AI. 4. Pick a project folder, describe the task, and send it. Progress streams to your phone as the agent works.

With Claude Code in its default Manual mode, Maccess shows each permission request on your iPhone with Allow Once, Always Allow, and Deny. You can switch Claude Code to accept edits automatically from the phone. Other agents follow their own approval settings.

Tasks run on the Mac over your local Wi-Fi, or from anywhere with Maccess Pro's Online Access. If your phone loses its connection, the agent keeps working on the Mac and the conversation catches up when you reconnect.

Because the agent runs on the Mac, a Mac mini on a shelf or in another room works well. It needs to be awake, logged in, and running Maccess Helper. Maccess can't wake a sleeping Mac, so use Keep Awake in Maccess while long tasks run.

No. Coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex run on your Mac with your own account and subscription, so they don't use Maccess AI tokens.
