Codync

Codync gives you persistent, named AI bots that live on your own computer and stay reachable from your iPhone, Mac, Windows PC, or Linux machine. It's a free, Grok Bot alternative built in the open, so you're not locked into one model or one subscription. No paid tier, no hidden fees.

Each bot keeps a continuous chat. You see its final reply by default; tool calls and intermediate steps are there when you want them. Bots remember context across sessions and can be given standing instructions and a project scope.

What you can do with bots:

• Group chats put multiple bots in one room. They read each other, disagree, and hand work back. Mention one with @ to direct a question at it specifically.
• Approval cards surface file edits and shell commands as allow-once, always-allow, or deny prompts on your phone. Nothing runs without your say.
• Per-bot memory carries context across sessions, so a bot doesn't start cold every time.
• Routines run on a schedule or a webhook trigger.
• Remote screen and voice let you watch, control, and talk to a bot from your phone.

Codync speaks the Agent Client Protocol, so it works with Codex, OpenCode, Grok Build, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot, and around 40 more. Each bot picks its own agent. Mix them in one room. You use the logins and plans you already have; Codync never calls a provider's API on your behalf.

The host is a single Rust binary. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, including headless servers. The iPhone app is native SwiftUI. There's also a full terminal UI for SSH sessions. All clients talk to the same host, so your bots and chat history are consistent everywhere.

Privacy is structural. Bots, transcripts, and memory stay on your computer. Your phone connects directly on the same network, or through an end-to-end encrypted relay anywhere else. The relay forwards ciphertext only. Even push notification text is sealed to your phone's key, so the relay never sees what your bots said.
