iPhone companion

Follow and answer your agents from your phone.

Pair your iPhone with the Heard companion app to keep up with your coding sessions when you step away from your Mac. The companion is part of Heard Power. Your Mac stays the host: the agents keep running there, and the phone is a window onto them.

Pair your iPhone

1

Create a pairing code

On your Mac, open Heard Settings, go to Dictation, and choose Pair phone. Heard shows a private QR code.

2

Scan it

Scan the code with your iPhone camera to open the Heard companion app.

3

Talk

Speak or tap a reply when an agent needs you.

To move to a new phone or start over, choose Pair again on the Mac. The companion’s own settings show whether your Mac is reachable and let you disconnect the phone.

One thread, every session

The companion is a single conversation thread:

  • All sessions shows messages from every live session together, each labeled with its project. Your own messages show which session they went to.
  • The session picker at the top filters the thread to one session. Sessions are grouped by Needs you, Working, and Quiet.
  • Questions appear as cards at the bottom of the thread.

Listen live

Tap the headphones to hear the same narration your Mac is speaking, across all sessions. Narration pauses while you record a voice message.

Reply and answer

  • Type a reply to the session you picked. In All sessions, a reply goes to the session you last replied to, or to the one that needs you first. Swipe a message to reply to its session.
  • Record a voice message with the microphone button to send your words to that session.
  • Answer a question by choosing an option and then tapping Send. The two steps keep a mistaken tap from answering for you.

Permission requests

Permission requests are approved on your Mac, not from the phone.

Heard Parrot is not available in the iPhone companion. Ask Parrot from your Mac.
