Your Mac runs Claude Code. Your iPhone and Apple Watch answer it — approve permissions, pick options, dictate the next task from wherever you are. Your $200/month agent shouldn’t sit idle because you stood up.

Type fob instead of claude. The session lives in a
background daemon your terminal merely looks at — detach with Ctrl-\, close the lid, leave.
Everything in one menu: live sessions, the mode dial, notification rules, usage, and paired devices — light or dark, it follows your Mac.
Works in Ghostty, iTerm2, Terminal.app, anything. Same TUI, same keybindings, truecolor preserved.
fob attach repaints the session exactly where you left it — and it survives a daemon restart, ready to Resume.
The daemon is a launchd agent, not a window. Quit the app, crash the GUI, restart it — your sessions don’t notice.
Notifications fire on done, needs approval, needs input, and errors. Never on background chatter. Auto-muted while you’re at the terminal.
Interrupted conversations return as one-tap Resume — context intact — from the phone, the watch, or the menu bar.
A glanceable HUD unfurls from the notch the moment a session needs you — see what’s waiting, and tap Allow right there. No window to open, no app to switch to.
Built for notch MacBooks — folds away to a quiet pill until something actually needs a human.
Free on the App Store — it pairs with your Mac, nothing to buy here.
The watch you already own becomes the remote for your most expensive subscription.
Crown-scroll every session — which need you, which are running — attention-first.
Tap Allow/Deny, choose Claude’s options with the Crown, or dictate a reply into a live session.
Your 5-hour and weekly windows on the face — and a complication that counts what’s waiting.
Three complications — a session stack, a ring with the waiting count, and a usage gauge — so the answer is on your face before you raise your wrist.
Flip on Nomad and your MacBook keeps the agents running with the lid shut, riding your iPhone’s hotspot as you move. The migration finishes on the train — and you approve the deploy from your wrist.
Drop the Mac in your bag, lid closed.
It auto-joins your iPhone’s hotspot and stays awake.
A wrist tap: “api-server needs approval.” You tap Allow.
macOS won’t do this on its own. DevFob does the keep-awake and hotspot choreography honestly — limits stated, never silent.
The only thing DevFob ever transmits is an end-to-end encrypted conversation between devices you paired yourself. Your code, your prompts, your transcripts — none of it touches the internet in the clear, and none of it ever reaches us. There is no “us” to reach: no server, no sign-up, no analytics.
Scan a QR from the menu bar. A Curve25519 handshake pins your devices to each other — no email, no account, no vendor in the loop.
Away from home Wi-Fi, frames travel sealed (ChaCha20-Poly1305), replay-guarded and authenticated. The relay can’t read a byte — and you can self-host it.
Same network? Devices talk directly over Bonjour. Nothing leaves the room — provable with a packet capture.
No subscription, no account, nothing that stops working if we disappear. Competitors charge $9 a month for remote answering. DevFob is $9 once. Every paid tier has a 30-day no-questions money-back guarantee.
Watch everything. Forever free.
fob CLI — detach, reattach, resumeAnswer from your phone. One-time.
The wrist, the bag, the notch.
Multi-account, multi-Mac.
Five Pro seats, one invoice, one key. MDM-friendly deploy, self-hosted relay guide for your infra, and a security story (E2E, no vendor server) that passes review without a meeting. Power add-on $30/seat.
No — there are no servers. On your own network, devices talk directly. Away from it, frames pass through a relay that only ever sees ciphertext (and you can run that relay on your own box). No accounts, no telemetry, nothing to leak.
Because the brand promise is that nothing depends on us. A subscription for a tool whose whole point is “no cloud, no vendor” would be hypocrisy. You pay once, it’s yours, updates for a year are included.
Monitoring is free forever: every session in your menu bar and on your iPhone, the fob command, and your usage meter.
Paying unlocks acting remotely — answering from the phone ($9), plus the watch, Nomad, and notch HUD (Pro).
All of them. fob runs inside whatever terminal you use — Ghostty, iTerm2, Terminal.app, Alacritty, WezTerm, kitty, tmux —
with the same TUI and keybindings. It’s a command, not an app you switch to.
Both. Claude Code is fully interactive (answer, resume, dictate); usage windows are tracked for Claude and Codex, side by side on the Mac, iPhone, and watch.
Nomad is explicit and honest: you flip it on, the menu bar shows it, the limits are documented. Session mode (plain caffeinate) is the default; aggressive modes ask for a one-time admin grant and never run silently.
