// when it's actually for you
The agents are running and a few of them need a decision. Cosyra is the surface for the moments in between — the ones that used to mean the work just waited for you.
Something's wrong in prod and you're forty minutes from a keyboard. Open Cosyra, tail the logs, read the stack trace, patch the env var, redeploy — with Claude Code helping you triangulate. From the phone already in your hand.
On-call from phoneInstead of doomscrolling, open the repo you've been meaning to refactor, hand Claude Code a plan, and review the diff by your stop. Hibernation hands the session back to your laptop when you get to work.
Code on the commuteDay trip, weekend, family time. You're not giving up your dev environment — you just don't want to carry it. A phone's already in your pocket, and a real Ubuntu workspace is one tap away.
The no-laptop setup// see it run
Not a chat box with a robot in it. A full Ubuntu shell where you point an agent at your repo and watch it edit, test, and ship — the same loop you already know, on a screen that fits in your hand.

// pre-installed in every container
Cosyra installs the four mainstream AI coding CLIs into every Ubuntu container. You pick which to use per task, against your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google key — your usage, your billing.
It's a real machine — not a sandbox or a chat wrapper.
// is it safe for real work
Handing a new tool your private repo and your API key is a real decision. So here's exactly what's true before you make it — every line below is something you can verify.
Every account gets its own cloud container. Your repos and files live inside your environment — never pooled, never shared across users.
Use your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google account. Your usage, your billing — Cosyra never sits between you and your provider.
API keys are stored with platform-native encryption on your phone and sent over TLS straight to your container. They don't live on our servers.
One hour of compute free, no credit card. Subscribe through the App Store or Google Play and cancel anytime — nothing auto-charges behind your back.

// the honest comparison
Five other ways to run AI coding agents from your phone. Same agents, same Linux — but Cosyra is the only one in the table that finishes a task while your laptop is asleep at home.

Yes. Cosyra gives you an isolated Ubuntu 24.04 container with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI pre-installed. You access that Linux environment from a native iPhone app, so you can run Claude Code on iPhone without setting up your own VPS or SSH workflow. See our step-by-step Claude Code on phone guide for the full walkthrough.
No. Cosyra runs the agent in a cloud container, not on your phone or your laptop. Start a Claude Code task at your desk, close your laptop, get on the train, and the agent keeps going. Your phone is the surface where you approve permissions and review diffs; the work itself never stops because your hardware did. That is the difference between Cosyra and SSHing into a laptop, or using Anthropic's Claude Remote Control, where the laptop has to stay on.
Yes. Cosyra ships a native Android app that connects to the same hosted Ubuntu environment. Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI are pre-installed, and other CLI tools may work if their Linux package and runtime requirements fit the container. The Claude Code on phone guide covers both iPhone and Android setup.
Yes. Codex CLI comes pre-installed in the same cloud Ubuntu environment, so you can run Codex CLI on phone from either iPhone or Android without building your own mobile terminal stack first. Our Codex CLI on phone guide covers the setup and tradeoffs.
A mobile coding terminal is a phone app that gives you terminal access for real development work on mobile. In Cosyra's case, that means a cloud-hosted Linux container you open from iPhone or Android. Unlike Termux, which is a local Android terminal, a mobile cloud terminal gives you persistent storage and a standard Linux environment for common CLI workflows. We break down the category in what is a mobile coding terminal, and compare against GitHub Codespaces on mobile for teams already inside the GitHub workflow.
Termux is a local Android terminal running an ARM userland on your phone. Claude Code and other Node.js-based agents can be installed on Termux via npm with workarounds, but Android 12+'s phantom process killer can terminate long sessions, and native installers built for x86_64 Linux do not run. Cosyra runs a full x86_64 Ubuntu container in the cloud, available on both iPhone and Android, with AI agents pre-installed and without the same local Android background-process limits. Read the full Cosyra vs Termux comparison.
Cosyra removes the server. There is no VPS to rent, no Linux distro to pick, no SSH keys to configure, no tmux session to keep alive, and no firewall to punch through. You install the app, sign in, and your container starts with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI already installed. See Cosyra vs CloudCLI for a direct comparison of hosted mobile terminals.
Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI come pre-installed. The container also includes Node.js, Python, Git, tmux, vim, and standard dev tools. You can install additional CLI tools yourself, but compatibility depends on each tool's Linux package, architecture, and runtime requirements. Our AI coding agents on mobile guide covers the pre-installed set in depth.
Yes. Cosyra follows a bring-your-own-key model so you use your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google provider accounts and keep direct control over usage and billing. Keys are stored on-device with platform-native encryption and transmitted over TLS to your container.
Yes. Each user gets their own isolated cloud container. Your code and files stay within your environment rather than being shared across users. AI interactions go directly from your container to the provider you choose using your own API key.
Yes. Your files persist between sessions on 30 GB of storage attached to your container. Pro users get session hibernation: your container pauses after ten minutes of inactivity and resumes with your session state restored when you reopen the app, so in normal use you can pick up where you left off without re-cloning the repo.
Every signup gets 1 hour of free compute, no credit card. When you want more, opt into the free trial (10 hours over 7 days, still no card). After that, Pro is $29.99/month or $300/year and includes 120 hours/month of compute, 30 GB of persistent storage, and session hibernation. Subscriptions are via in-app purchase on the App Store or Google Play and can be cancelled anytime.
No. Claude Code is one of four AI coding agents Cosyra ships. Cosyra is a mobile coding terminal with a Linux environment for common CLI work such as Git, Node.js, Python, tmux, and the AI agents you install yourself. Some repos need heavier services or system dependencies, so verify project-specific requirements before relying on a phone-only setup. See who uses Cosyra: on-call engineers, commuters, and no-laptop developers.
Anthropic's Remote Control (shipped 2026-02-25) lets you control an active Claude Code session on your laptop from the Claude app on your phone. It is included with a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise), not free-tier and not usable with an API key, and works well when your laptop is on, awake, and you only use Claude Code. Cosyra runs Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI in a cloud Ubuntu container that stays up when your laptop is closed, off, or at home, and persists between devices. Read the full Cosyra vs Claude Remote Control comparison for the tradeoffs.
