How to check and prompt running agents from your phone with Vicoa

Start a session on your laptop, then follow and prompt it from the Vicoa mobile app.

Who it is forA developer who leaves a long agent task running and wants to answer its questions or see when it finishes without returning to the desk.

The problemCoding agents often stop to ask for a decision, and you miss the prompt when you are away from your computer.

The outcomeYou get notified when an agent needs a decision or finishes, and you can reply from your phone with the same session synced.

What you need first

  • At least one supported agent CLI installed and signed in on the machine that runs agents
  • A Vicoa account for the desktop and mobile apps
  • Node.js 18+ for the npm CLI, or pip on Intel Macs or old glibc systems

Steps

  1. Install and sign in to Vicoa Desktop from https://vicoa.ai/download.
  2. Click **New Session**, pick the machine and agent, and enter your first prompt.
  3. Install the Vicoa iOS or Android app and sign in with the same account.
  4. Wait for the push notification, then open the session on your phone to read the conversation and reply.
  5. Use the dictation or @files features on your phone if you want to speak or reference a file.

Prompt for your agent

Using the vicoa-ai/vicoa repo, start a coding session on <target-project> with the Claude Code agent and a prompt to <task>. Confirm the session appears in the Vicoa mobile app under the same account and that a notification arrives when the agent asks a question or finishes. Report the session status seen on the phone.

Caveat. The README says the agent machine must have a supported agent CLI installed and signed in, so the phone can only steer sessions that run on that machine.
