Running two or three coding agents in parallel is easy. Keeping track of them once you leave your desk is not: who is working, who is stuck, who is waiting for a yes, and which sessions depend on each other.
Kiteline, an app for following coding agents (Claude Code, Codex and a dozen others) from an iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, handles this in four ways.
1. One list for every session
Sessions from different agents and different computers sit in a single list, grouped by project, agent or machine, with a clear state: working, waiting for you, done. Sessions in progress show a stage such as "2/4 developing".
2. Notifications only when a human is needed
- Permissions: the agent wants to run a command or edit a file, the phone gets a push, tap allow or deny.
- Questions: the agent is unsure which approach to take and asks; pick an option or reply.
- Human-only tasks: signing up, paying, requesting a key become separate to-dos instead of lines buried in a long chat.
3. Sessions that depend on each other can share a group
One session changes an API while another waits for the new field. Drag one session onto the other, write a line about what to coordinate, and Kiteline relays the messages between them. Members can be different agents on different computers in different projects. If a member is waiting for approval, messages are held until it is answered, and heavy back-and-forth pauses automatically.
4. Check the quota before dispatching
A home card lists the 5-hour and weekly quota per computer and turns red past 80%, so work can go to the agent that still has room. It only reads what the agent writes locally.
Boundaries
No API key is needed, agent configs are not modified, account credentials are never read or stored, and the phone never talks to Claude directly: access still originates from the computer only.
Claude Code is Anthropic's product; Kiteline is an independent third-party tool. The desktop side is open source on GitHub; the phone app is iOS/iPadOS only (no Android).
