How Fleet Command compares

Watching one coding-agent session from your phone is now table stakes: Anthropic ships it, Codex lives inside ChatGPT, and Cursor has a phone app. Fleet Command doesn't compete with that loop — it's the layer above it. Here's an honest look at the field, including what each tool does better than we do.

Anthropic Remote Control

Anthropic's official way to follow and steer a Claude Code session from your phone.

What it does better

  • Full transcript on your phone, and you can steer the session mid-run.
  • Approval pushes built in.
  • Free with paid Claude plans — zero setup beyond the CLI.

Where Fleet Command differs

  • One session, one vendor at a time — no roll-up of every machine and session, no machine liveness, no watch complications.
  • Use both. Fleet Command watches through the CLI's own hooks, so sessions you drive with Remote Control still appear in your fleet.

Happy

An open-source mobile client for Claude Code with the full conversation on your phone.

What it does better

  • Open source and free.
  • End-to-end encrypted, with the full transcript available on your phone.

Where Fleet Command differs

  • A different privacy trade: Happy encrypts the conversation in transit; Fleet Command doesn't carry the conversation at all — metadata only, by architecture.
  • Fleet Command adds the cross-vendor, multi-machine roll-up, machine heartbeats, and watch complications + Live Activity.

Omnara

A mobile command center for AI agents, built around talking to them.

What it does better

  • Voice-first: speak to your agent and hear it back — the most natural way to steer on the go.
  • Full conversation view on your phone.

Where Fleet Command differs

  • Fleet Command is built for the glance, not the conversation: the Muster ranks who needs you across every machine, and machine heartbeats catch a laptop that died.
  • Metadata-only sync, plus the wrist: complications and lock-screen approvals.

Fleet Command: Agents

The fleet layer above the tools on this page. Free.

What it does

  • Cross-vendor — Claude Code + Codex today, in one place.
  • Multi-machine roll-up — every machine, every session, one Muster and one Atlas.
  • Machine liveness — heartbeats separate a stuck session (Adrift) from a dead laptop (Offline).
  • Lock screen + wrist — complications, Live Activity, and one-tap approvals.
  • Metadata-only — no transcripts, code, or prompts leave your machine; the only prose that transits is what you opt into. Details →

What it deliberately doesn't do

  • Show the full transcript or drive a session line-by-line from your phone. The three tools above do that better — pick one and run it alongside.
