Check on your agents from the Claude app on your phone.
Overvibe starts every Claude Code session with Claude Code's own Remote Control switched on, so each one is there in the Claude app when you leave the Mac. Codex helpers have no app to open. That's what the coordinator is for: from your phone, ask it who needs you, and it reads the answer off overvibe ls.
Free and open sourceRuns on Mac and LinuxYour own Claude and Codex logins
Recorded on a demo machine. Back at the Mac, a waiting session's question opens as a dialog you answer with a click.
Agents stop to ask you something right after you leave the desk
A permission prompt, a pick-one-of-three, a plan that needs your OK. Away from the Mac, that session just sits there, and you find out when you open the lid again.
Tabs in Terminal

1Open the coordinator in the Claude app
Your Overvibe Claude sessions are in the app's list. Pick the one that runs the others.
2Ask who needs you
It runs overvibe ls, which marks each session busy, idle or needs you, and overvibe peek to read what the waiting ones say.
3Steer the idle ones
Tell it the next step and overvibe send types it into that helper's prompt. A helper sitting on a choice menu keeps it for you.
4Sit back down
What's still waiting is amber in the sidebar. Click it and the question opens as a dialog.
Behind it, what the coordinator runs on the Mac. You type the question on your phone. These run on your computer, inside the coordinator's terminal. Read the CLI reference
$ overvibe ls# each session: status (busy, idle, needs you), tool, folder$ overvibe peek "api: codex tests" --lines 20
$ overvibe send "api: codex tests" "Good. Now cover the refund route too."
When Remote Control alone is enough
With a single Claude session going, skip the coordinator. Open that session in the Claude app and answer it there. The coordinator starts to pay off once Codex helpers are running too, since Overvibe starts Codex without any remote option.
Questions
Can I open the Overvibe page itself on my phone?
No. It listens on 127.0.0.1 and needs its token. Your phone reaches Claude sessions through Remote Control, which Claude Code runs itself.
Can I switch Remote Control off?
Yes, per Claude account. In Settings > Accounts each Claude account has a Remote Control for new sessions switch. It's on until you turn it off.
Can I answer a Codex prompt from the phone?
Not the prompt itself. The coordinator can tell you what Codex is asking with overvibe peek, and send it a new instruction once it's back at its input box. A choice menu waits for you at the Mac.
