You run your AI coding agents on a remote server. You want to check progress, tweak a prompt, or review output from your phone without compromising security. That is exactly what an AI coding agent mobile app should deliver. Hive gives you a secure, persistent connection to agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Copilot from any device — including mobile — while keeping your infrastructure private.

Why You Need an AI Coding Agent Mobile App

Coding agents run long tasks. They refactor codebases, generate documentation, and debug for hours. You cannot always stay at your desk. A mobile app lets you monitor progress, approve actions, or even kick off new tasks while commuting or traveling.

But mobile access introduces risks. Unsecured connections, session loss, and exposure of API keys are real concerns. Hive solves these by design. Sessions live on your server, not on the client. The app connects over a single WebSocket secured with TLS. You never expose your agent’s endpoint to the public internet.

Security-First Design for Mobile Access

Hive treats security as a core feature, not an afterthought. Here is what protects your agents when you connect from mobile:

  • No open ports. Hive uses a reverse tunnel model. Your server initiates the outbound connection to Hive’s relay, so you never need to open a firewall port.
  • End-to-end encryption. All traffic between your device and the server is encrypted. Even Hive’s relay cannot read your prompts or agent output.
  • Offline activation. The mobile app activates locally and stores your license key without sending it over the network repeatedly.
  • Minimal data collection. As stated in our Privacy policy, Hive only collects your account email, hashed password, and device activations. Payment data is handled by Stripe.

You stay in control. No third party sees your code or agent conversations.

Seamless Session Mobility with Hive

One of the biggest frustrations with remote coding agents is losing state when you switch devices. Hive eliminates that. You can detach a session from your desktop and reattach it on your phone with zero interruption.

This works because the agent process runs on your server. The mobile app is just a window into that process. Close the app, open it on another device, and the session is still alive. Your agent keeps working in the background.

Hive supports any shell or agent — Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, or a plain terminal. They are all managed the same way over a single WebSocket connection. The Hive download page provides the server daemon and mobile APK for Android. iOS support is also available via the web app.

How to Access Your AI Coding Agent from Mobile

Getting started is straightforward:

  1. Install the server on your Linux, macOS, or Windows machine using the one-liner installer:

    curl -fsSL https://dl.vazac.dev/install.sh | sh
    
  2. Start Hive on the server. The daemon will connect to the relay and wait for clients.

  3. Install the mobile app from the download page (Android APK) or open the web interface on any browser.

  4. Authenticate with your account. Hive uses a hashed password and license key stored locally.

  5. Select your agent. You can attach to an existing session or start a new one directly from the mobile interface.

All agent output streams in real time. You can type prompts, review logs, and even run commands if your shell allows it.

Cluster Your Servers for Zero Downtime

Leaderless meshNo single point of failure
Session routingMove a session to any node
Cross-device takeoverContinue from another device instantly

Hive lets you join multiple servers into a cluster. If one machine goes down, you can route sessions to another node. The mobile app sees every server in your cluster. You can take over a session from your phone even if you started it on a different host.

This is especially useful for teams sharing infrastructure. The Pro and Team plans include cloud-synced cluster profiles. See the Pricing page for details.

Hive offers a Personal plan for solo developers at EUR 39 one-time (includes one year of updates) or EUR 29 per year. The Pro plan adds more devices and priority support. All plans include the mobile and web apps.

Secure, persistent access to your AI coding agents from anywhere is not a luxury. It is a productivity necessity. Download Hive and control your agents from your pocket.

Časté dotazy

Can I use Hive with any AI coding agent?

Yes. Hive supports Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, and any shell-based agent. You run the agent on your server and connect through Hive.

Is the mobile app available for iOS?

Hive provides an Android APK and a web interface that works on any mobile browser. iOS users can access agents through the web app.

How does Hive keep my code secure on the mobile device?

Hive never stores your code on the mobile device. The agent runs on your server, and the app only displays output. All connections are encrypted end-to-end.

What happens if I lose internet connection while using the mobile app?

Your coding agent continues running on the server. When you reconnect, Hive reattaches to the same session and you pick up exactly where you left off.

Do I need to open ports on my firewall?

No. Hive uses a reverse tunnel model where your server initiates the outbound connection. No inbound ports are required.
