About Port22
Port22 is a developer tool designed to bridge the gap between AI coding agents running on your Mac and your mobile device. When executing long agent runs—such as with Claude Code, Codex, or other tools—developers often step away from their desk only to discover the agent has been idling for extended periods while waiting for a single manual permission or file edit approval.
Port22 solves this bottleneck by putting your Mac's active coding agents directly onto your phone. The application allows you to remotely monitor which agents are actively running and which are stuck waiting for user input. When an agent requires permission, Port22 sends a push notification to your mobile device, allowing you to tap the exact option offered by the prompt rather than sending guessed keystrokes.
Designed for frictionless integration, Port22 attaches seamlessly to your existing workflows without needing custom wrappers, complex configurations, or new terminal instances. It offers a generous free tier for single Mac use with every feature unlocked.
Pros of Port22
- Instant mobile notifications when agents require approval
- Direct interaction with actual CLI options from your phone
- Seamless attachment to existing terminals without configuration or wrappers
- Real-time status monitoring for active and stuck Mac coding agents
- Free plan available with full features for one Mac and two sessions
Cons of Port22
- Currently tailored for Mac desktop environments
- Free tier is restricted to one Mac and two sessions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Port22?
Port22 is a developer utility that connects AI coding agents running on your Mac (like Claude Code and Codex) to your phone, enabling remote status monitoring and prompt approvals.

When an agent on your Mac reaches a prompt needing permission, your phone buzzes with a notification. You can tap the exact option presented by the agent directly from your mobile screen.
Does Port22 require extra configuration or terminal setup?
No. Port22 attaches directly to your existing setup without requiring wrappers, configuration changes, or launching new terminal windows.
What are the pricing details for Port22?
Port22 is free to use for one Mac and up to two sessions with every feature unlocked.
About Skeg
Skeg is an open-source, multi-tenant vector database written in Rust, designed specifically to address memory constraints in vector storage. It is engineered for extreme RAM efficiency, allowing developers to pack significantly more vectors per gigabyte of memory without sacrificing search recall.
Purpose-built for high-density, many-tenant deployments, Skeg treats memory efficiency as a primary design consideration rather than an afterthought. This makes it an ideal database solution for infrastructure setups where RAM capacity is the critical bottleneck.
Pros of Skeg
- Extreme RAM efficiency to pack more vectors per GB
- Maintains high search recall
- Specifically optimized for high-density, multi-tenant deployments
- Open source and written in Rust for performance and safety
Cons of Skeg
- Focused primarily on memory-constrained vector use cases, which may be redundant for environments with abundant RAM
- No managed cloud hosting or commercial support options are mentioned in the metadata
