Honest comparison
Forge Remote is a free app for mobile developers that starts Claude Code sessions from your phone and ships builds to TestFlight, on a Firebase project you own. Pushary plugs into the agents already running on your computer and puts their approvals on your lock screen.
If you build mobile apps and want to drive Claude Code and ship builds from your phone, Forge Remote fits. If you want the agents you already run, from Claude Code and Codex to Cursor, Gemini CLI and Devin CLI, to reach you when they need a yes, with nothing to host, Pushary fits.
Forge Remote lets you deny from the notification; to approve, you open the app and pass Face ID. Pushary's notification says what the agent wants to run, and on iPhone you approve with Face ID right there, without opening the app. Deny is one tap on iPhone and Android, and risky commands still open the app.
In Forge Remote, phone approvals apply to the Claude Code sessions its relay starts. Sessions you start yourself with claude can be mirrored to the phone to watch. Pushary plugs into Claude Code itself, so any session you start asks your phone, and so do Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI and Devin CLI.
Forge Remote runs on a Firebase project it creates in your Google account, with an admin key saved on your computer and a relay that has to keep running in a terminal. That keeps your data in your own cloud, which is the point of its design. Pushary needs no backend of your own: you run one setup command, pair your phone and start the trial.
Forge Remote is a full Claude Code cockpit on the phone: start sessions, pick the model, read the transcript, review and revert diffs, commit, push, open pull requests and schedule runs. For mobile developers it also ships builds to TestFlight and Firebase App Distribution. It is free, and your sessions live in a Firebase project you own.

Forge Remote is a free iPhone and Android app that drives Claude Code on your computer from your phone. Its site now aims it at mobile app developers: besides starting sessions, reading the transcript and reviewing diffs, it can ship builds to TestFlight and Firebase App Distribution. Setup runs npx forge-remote init, which creates a Firebase project in your Google account, and a relay that keeps running on your computer. The App Store listing still offers a Pro plan at $9.99 a month.
