ChatView Relay
Codex Mobile, but for every coding agent.
Drive VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Copilot from your phone.
Send prompts, run terminal commands, edit files, and approve diffs — all from
your pocket, while your laptop does the work.
Works in VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf, and any
VS Code-compatible editor. Built Windows-first, Android-first, VS Code-first.
Why ChatView?
- Code from anywhere — Queue up prompts, review AI responses, and execute
commands while you're away from your desk.
- Never break your flow — Thought of a fix on the train? Send it. Don't
wait until you're back at your PC.
- Real-time sync — WebSocket-powered live updates with automatic polling
fallback. What you send from your phone lands in your editor instantly.
- Full control — Run terminal commands, create files, edit code, search
your workspace — all from your phone.
- Approve from mobile — When an agent blocks on a tool-use approval or a
destructive command, your phone pings. One tap to approve, the agent
continues on the laptop.
Cursor users
ChatView Relay was tested against Cursor's fork from day one. Composer
threads, chat panel, and background-agent approvals are all drivable
from your phone. Close the lid, leave the room, get a push notification when
Cursor needs you, approve the diff from mobile, walk back to a merged PR.
Claude Code users
ChatView shells into the claude CLI and streams its output to your phone.
File diffs and tool-use approvals render natively in the mobile app — same
review-and-approve loop, just on mobile.
Codex CLI users
ChatView wraps codex and openai-codex invocations the same way. If
OpenAI's own Codex Mobile only works with their first-party agent on
iPhone + Mac, ChatView is the alternative for the Windows + Android +
VS Code crowd.
Copilot users
The extension uses the official VS Code Copilot Chat API + chat
participants + language-model tools, so Copilot Chat threads and
agent-mode tool calls all surface in the mobile app.
