Let Claude use your phone.

What it's good for

• "Did anyone text me about dinner?"
• "Who called while I was in the meeting? Text them that I'll call back at five."
• "Pull the PDF I downloaded on my phone this morning onto my Desktop."
• "Open Maps and tell me how long the drive home is right now."
• "Record the screen while you go through the signup flow in our app."

The assistant sees what Synqed already syncs, plus the phone's screen when you share it. Nothing new is installed on the phone.

Set it up

In Synqed, open AI assistantsunder System and turn on access. It's off until you do. Then add Synqed to your assistant.

Claude Code

claude mcp add synqed -- "/Applications/Synqed.app/Contents/Helpers/synqed-mcp"

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config, add this inside mcpServers, then restart Claude.

"synqed": { "command": "/Applications/Synqed.app/Contents/Helpers/synqed-mcp" }

Any other app that speaks MCP over stdio works the same way: point it at that file. The AI assistants page in Synqed shows both lines ready to copy, with the right path for your install.

How much it can do is up to you

Pick a mode for all assistants, or set one per app, so Claude Code can run on Auto while something you trust less stays on Read only.

• Read only.It can look, but it can't send, call or touch the screen.
• Ask first. The default. Every action shows up in the menu bar and as a notification with Allow and Deny. Nothing happens until you answer, and after 60 seconds the request is declined.
• Auto. Actions go through straight away and Synqed tells you what was done.

A few things always ask, even in Auto, because they're what a malicious message or web page would try to get an assistant to do: texting or calling a number that isn't in your contacts, sending anything that contains a one-time code, and more than three texts or calls in ten minutes. Pause in the menu bar drops every assistant to Read only at once.

Privacy

The MCP server runs on your Mac and only answers apps running as you on the same Mac. It talks to the phone over the same encrypted link as the rest of Synqed, and Synqed adds no server of its own.

What the assistant reads goes to that assistant's model, the same as anything you paste into it. One-time codes are withheld by default, password fields are never read off the screen, and every request is listed on the AI assistants page so you can see what was asked.

Screen shares an assistant starts end on their own when it disconnects or goes quiet for a minute, so a phone is never left streaming.
