# Codync — AI Coding Tool Review & Pricing

> Codync turns the coding agents installed on your computer into persistent, named bots that you message from an iPhone, a desktop app or a terminal. A Rust host speaks the Agent Client Protocol to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot, OpenCode and about 40 more agents, keeps transcripts, and notifies you when a bot finishes or needs approval.
