How do I monitor Claude Code from my phone?

Install the Fleet Command plugin on the machine running Claude Code, pair it with a one-time code from the iPhone app, and every session appears live on your phone. Setup takes about two minutes and works on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Does Fleet Command work with Codex too?

Yes. Claude Code and Codex sessions appear in the same fleet, each tagged by agent. The setup is identical.

Do I need a Mac to use it?

No. The plugin is pure Node and runs anywhere Claude Code or Codex do — macOS, Windows or Linux. You only need an iPhone (and optionally an Apple Watch) to view your fleet.

Does it send my code or prompts anywhere?

No. Only session metadata — activity state, the project folder's name, and usage stats. Never source code, file contents, or prompts.

Yes. The plugin is free and open source, and the iPhone and Apple Watch app is a free download.

// HOW IT WORKS

Monitor Claude Code from your phone

Fleet Command turns every Claude Code and Codex session into a drifting ship on a live space-map — on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Start a long agent run, walk away from your desk, and still see who's working, who's waiting on you, and approve risky commands from anywhere. Here's the whole setup — it takes about two minutes and works on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Free · open-source plugin · not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI.

1 · Install the plugin

On any machine running Claude Code, add the marketplace and install the plugin, then restart Claude Code so the hooks load. The plugin is pure Node — no Mac required on the machine you're monitoring.

$ claude plugin marketplace add sideffect263/fleet-commander
$ claude plugin install fleet-commander

2 · Add a fleet

Open the Fleet Command app on your iPhone, tap Add a Fleet, and give the machine a name. The app shows a one-time pairing code — something like FLEET-7Q2K. Each machine gets its own code, so you can pair as many as you like.

3 · Link the machine

Back in the terminal, run the link command with your code. It confirms the pairing and your fleet goes live.

> /fleet-link FLEET-7Q2K
✓ linked · fleet is live

4 · Watch ships stream in

Every session becomes a ship. A working agent drifts; one that's waiting on you flares up. The Muster ranks exactly who needs you across every machine, so a fleet of dozens stays a glance, not a dashboard. Two more things worth turning on:

·
Notifications. Allow them when prompted and your phone buzzes the moment a session hits AWAIT CMD or finishes its run — even with the app closed.
·
Remote approvals. Run /fleet-approvals on to gate risky tool calls behind a phone tap. See how remote approvals work →
