Conch brings AI coding agents to your Android phone
Conch is a native Android client for running Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini CLI on servers you already access over SSH.
Field notes
Conch places the actual CLI process and project files on the user's SSH server rather than routing them through a hosted service. The page describes one authenticated connection per host, resumable sessions stored on the server, and support for password, key-file, or FIDO2 authentication over USB-HID or NFC. It also exposes agent-specific controls for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI instead of flattening them into one generic interface. Personal and noncommercial use is stated as free, with commercial licensing handled separately.
