Porte brings Grok coding sessions to phones

Porte turns an unattended coding agent into a practical mobile workflow, with approval controls that are more useful than simply exposing a terminal. Its biggest limitations are Grok lock-in, incomplete real-time coverage, and the trust required to route transcripts through a hosted service.

• –The phone becomes a focused control surface for prompts, files, permission requests, slash commands, and Git diff review.
• –Preserving Grok’s local directory, sandbox, hooks, and permission rules makes the architecture safer than broad remote shell access.
• –Setup is still early-stage: the plugin requires Node 22+, and the official Grok marketplace listing is not yet approved.
• –Missing push notifications, multi-machine support, and live updates for TUI-started turns limit its usefulness for fully hands-off workflows.
• –Porte enters a growing category alongside mobile remotes for Codex, Claude Code, and other local coding agents.
