You already have powerful agents — Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, OpenClaw — running on your computer. Nexting connects you to them remotely: view live sessions, send tasks, and drive Claude Code, Codex, Grok, or Cursor from your phone, wherever you are. When you only need to send an idea, speak once and let your own agent work in the background.
Remote control, not just dispatch — view, send, drive.
Nexting is software first: the apps and the agent connections are the product. Hardware is an optional way in.
- Nexting Ring — in development. Hold a button to speak, move the pointer with your thumb, and flip a switch to choose your phone or your Mac.
- PIN — an open DIY side project. The firmware, enclosure files, and schematic are in
hardware-opensource/for anyone to build. We don't sell it.
You speak → phone or wearable → Nexting app (STT) → Cloud → your own agent
(Claude Code / Codex / Grok / Cursor / OpenClaw)

3 seconds to dispatch a task — vs. ~30s pulling out your phone, unlocking, and typing.
What Makes Nexting Different
| Remote control | Attach to a Claude Code, Codex, Grok, or Cursor session on your Mac or Windows PC, view it live, send tasks, and drive it remotely from your phone or wearable. |
| Dispatch, not chat | Fire-and-forget: say it once, your agent runs it in the background. Not Q&A. |
| Your own agent | Drives the agents you already run — Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, OpenClaw. Not a locked-in model. |
| Private by design | Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and Cursor support optional end-to-end encryption — turn it on and Nexting relays ciphertext, not your session. |
| Delivers while you're offline | Phone locked, on the move? The agent still finishes the job and pushes the result back. |
| Deep iPhone integration | Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Health, HomeKit — all by voice. |
Nexting isn't another voice assistant — it's the pocket control surface for your agent team.
Get Started
- Install the Nexting iOS app and sign in.
- Connect your agent — Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, OpenClaw, a local model, or managed Nexting Pro (see below).
- Send a task from your phone, by text or voice.
No hardware is required. If you build a PIN from hardware-opensource/, pair it over Bluetooth in the app.
Bring Your Own Agent
Nexting is a terminal, not a model. Connect the agent you already run:
| Mode | What It Is | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Attach to a Claude Code session on your Mac or Windows PC and drive it from your phone — live. | Free |
| Codex | Attach to an OpenAI Codex CLI session on your Mac or Windows PC and drive it from your phone — live. | Free |
| Grok | Attach to a Grok Build session on your Mac and drive it from your phone — live. | Free |
| Cursor | Attach to a Cursor Desktop session on your Mac and drive it from your phone — live. | Free |
| MyOpenClaw | Run your own OpenClaw instance. We handle the relay. | Free |
| MyHermes | Any OpenAI-compatible local AI — Hermes Agent, Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio. | Free |
| Nexting Pro | Managed agent in the cloud. Latest Claude, GPT, and Gemini models, zero setup. | $29/mo or $279/yr |
Dispatch to whichever agent is yours. Expand your mode below for setup — each takes about a minute.

It opens your browser to sign in to Nexting — that login binds the machine to your account — and installs everything, including a background daemon that keeps your phone connected.
macOS
curl -fsSL https://nexting.ai/install-cc | bash
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://nexting.ai/install-cc.ps1 | iex
Then just run claude as usual (on Windows, fully quit and reopen your terminal first) — your sessions appear in the Nexting app, live. Uninstall anytime: nexting-cc-bridge uninstall.
One command to sign in and install:
macOS
curl -fsSL https://nexting.ai/install-codex | bash
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://nexting.ai/install-codex.ps1 | iex
Then just run codex as usual — your sessions appear in the Nexting app, live. Uninstall anytime: nexting-cc-bridge codex-uninstall.
One command to sign in and install:
curl -fsSL https://nexting.ai/install-grok | bash
Then just run grok as usual — your sessions appear in the Nexting app, live. Uninstall anytime: nexting-cc-bridge grok-uninstall.
One command to sign in and install:

Your Cursor Desktop sessions appear in the Nexting app, live. Uninstall anytime: nexting-cc-bridge cursor-uninstall.
Nexting connects to your own OpenClaw instance. Install the plugin and link your account:
openclaw plugins install pinclaw --dangerously-force-unsafe-install
openclaw pinclaw login

Point Nexting at your local endpoint with the nexting-hermes-bridge CLI:

Open Hardware: Build a PIN
The PIN is a clip-on voice button you can build yourself. Nexting does not sell it; the design is published here as a DIY project. No screen — by design.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| MCU | Seeed XIAO nRF52840 Sense (ARM Cortex-M4 @ 64MHz) |
| Microphone | PDM MEMS (built into XIAO Sense) |
| Audio | Opus codec over BLE 5.0, I2S speaker (MAX98357A) |
| Feedback | RGB LED + speaker (no screen) |
| Battery | 3.7V LiPo, USB-C charging (onboard BQ25101) |
| Firmware | Zephyr RTOS v2.2.0 (source + UF2) |
| Interaction | Single-button push-to-talk |
The hardware-opensource/ directory is a complete Co-Builder Edition: firmware source, 3D-printable enclosure files, and a schematic PDF — everything you need to build a PIN yourself. Flash the UF2 binary via drag-and-drop — no programmer needed.
iPhone Integration
Your phone isn't just a pipe — it's the bridge between you and your AI. The Nexting app registers native iOS capabilities as skills your agent can call:
- Calendar — Read and create events
- Reminders — Manage tasks and to-do lists
- Contacts — Look up people
- Health — Access HealthKit data
- HomeKit — Control smart home devices
- Location — Context-aware responses
- Timer — Set and manage timers
Say "schedule a meeting tomorrow at 3pm" — the agent calls your iPhone's calendar directly.
All data stays on your iPhone. You control every permission.
Privacy
- Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and Cursor support end-to-end encryption (opt-in) — with it enabled, Nexting relays ciphertext, not readable session content
- Raw audio is discarded immediately after transcription — never stored
- Voice streams over encrypted WebSocket (WSS)
- Self-hosted modes keep all data on your own infrastructure
- No always-on listening — recording only while the button is held
- We never train on your data, never sell it, never share it — and you can delete it anytime

The codename
pinclawpersists in package names, file paths, and identifiers — it's the permanent internal handle. Nexting is the brand. Both coexisting is intentional.

Build hardware for Nexting
The open hardware protocol, C99 device SDK, conformance vectors, and reference
firmware live in devices/.
- Start with the Devices SDK overview.
- Read the wire protocol.
- Follow the 0.2 migration guide.
Experimental 0.2 supports extensible device identity, buttons, rotary controls, displays, haptics, battery reporting, and vendor-defined facts while keeping approval decisions bounded by the trusted Nexting host.
