How to chat with your Mac's bots from your phone with Noodle

Pair your iPhone with your Mac through Noodle Hub settings to talk to your own bots.

Who it is forA user who runs bots on a Mac at home and wants to check on them or send tasks from iPhone or iPad while away.

The problemBots running on a desktop are out of reach when you are away from it.

The outcomeYour Mac appears in Noodle Mobile as a Hub with your own bots, reachable from your phone.

What you need first

  • A Mac running macOS 26 for the main Noodle app
  • An account for at least one supported harness (Codex, Claude Code, FX, Grok Build, Muse Code, OpenCode v2, Antigravity) or Apple Intelligence on device
  • A Noodle Hub on an always-on Mac, if you want to use shared harnesses or phone access

Steps

  1. Turn on Let My Devices Reach This Mac in Settings → Hub on your Mac.
  2. Choose Add Device… in the same screen and scan the code with Noodle on your phone.
  3. Open Noodle Mobile on iPhone or iPad from the TestFlight link in the README.
  4. Keep the Mac awake and, for access away from home, let Noodle ask your router to forward its port or add your own address.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Noodle repo at github.com/pdparchitect/noodle, pair an iPhone with a Mac running Noodle and send a test message to <bot name>. Expected output: the bot replies in Noodle Mobile. Verify that the Mac is awake and that the phone shows the Mac as a Hub.

Caveat. Noodle Mobile is a TestFlight beta and the Mac must stay awake while phone access is on.
