CodeKey sidebar Mobile session list Mobile session detail

AI coding agents pause at the worst possible moment — waiting for permission to write a file, run a command, or answer a question. CodeKey moves those waiting points from your desktop to your phone.

  • Receive approval cards instantly on mobile
  • Send follow-up prompts from anywhere
  • Manage Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode sessions in one VS Code sidebar
  • E2E encryption protects prompts, commands, and summaries
  • Works with WeChat Mini Program and Telegram Mini App

Features

Feature What it does
📱 Mobile Approvals Permission requests from Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode appear on your phone with approve, deny, and reply actions.
⌨️ Remote Prompts Type a prompt on mobile and your local VS Code agent continues the task.
📋 Session Sync View local agent sessions by runtime, status, and recent activity.
🎛️ VS Code Dashboard Pair devices, manage sync, inspect sessions, and watch approval cards from the sidebar.
🔒 E2E Encryption User prompts, phone commands, and task summaries are encrypted before they pass through the relay.
📲 Multi-Platform Works with WeChat Mini Program and Telegram Mini App.

Quick Start

# 1. Install the CodeKey VS Code extension
# 2. Open the CodeKey view from the Activity Bar
# 3. Click "Pair Device" and scan the QR code
# 4. Start Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode
# 5. Approve, monitor, and send prompts from your phone

Privacy

CodeKey combines end-to-end encryption with a local privacy pipeline. You decide how much session history is visible on mobile.

Mode What mobile can see Best for
Off Approval cards only. No session history shared. Maximum data minimization
Summary Safe status summaries without raw prompt or agent output text. Progress tracking with less content exposure
Full Full session history after local secret scanning and blocklist checks. Rich remote monitoring and follow-up prompts

Privacy controls include:

  • E2E encryption — user prompts, mobile commands, and task summaries are sealed with AES-GCM before leaving your device
  • Secret scanning — API keys, tokens, and passwords are redacted locally
  • Blocklist / .codekeyignore — prevent selected files and paths from being forwarded
  • Per-agent policy — configure Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode independently
  • Audit panel — inspect forwarded, blocked, and sanitized event counts in the sidebar

Mobile Apps

Platform How to use
