About Xtro

Xtro is a cross-device front end for your Mac IDE. It mirrors the terminals of VS Code and Cursor onto an iPhone in real time, with read and write access, so when a coding agent finishes, errors or asks for permission, you can reply from your phone without SSH. Custom key remaps put one-touch shortcuts for tools such as Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cline and Claude Code on screen, including slash commands and modifier keys.

Voice-to-code uses Whisper to transcribe a spoken note into the terminal, and nothing is sent until you say so. A Git view lets you review diffs, stage changes, branch, commit and push, kept in sync with the Mac. Smart notifications send push alerts that summarize which part succeeded, which failed and where your input is needed. The site's docs and pricing sections cover setup and plans.
