Pim for Mac

Everything Pim on your iPhone does with your Mac goes through Pim for Mac. It runs Claude Code and Codex in the folders you pick and brings their requests for approval to the phone. It streams the screen as video and takes your taps and keystrokes, for which you allow Screen Recording and Accessibility once. It opens folders and files in your home folder, passes files both ways, keeps the Mac awake while you're out, and answers when you ask Pim something.

It lives in the menu bar, and with Open Pim when I log in turned on, the Mac can be reached whenever it's on.

The main window has your conversations with Pim and your Claude Code and Codex sessions side by side, grouped as on the iPhone: Needs You, Working, Scheduled and Earlier. The Dock icon shows how many sessions need you. Approve a step or read a plan right there, start a new session in a folder with the model and effort you want, and write your next message while the agent works — it goes in when the turn ends. Text you haven't sent is still there when you come back.

Open in Terminal continues a session in Ghostty, iTerm or Terminal, on the Mac it lives on; a session started on another of your Macs opens there.

Press ⌥Space wherever you are and a small panel asks Pim — about the Mac, a file, anything. Follow-up questions stay in the same conversation; ⌘N starts a new one and ⌘O opens it in the main window.

Settings → Terminal Sessions decides what your iPhone sees of the Claude Code sessions you start in a terminal yourself. Show terminal sessions on iPhone lists them in the app with their conversation (it's off until you turn it on). Those running in Ghostty you can answer from the iPhone: Pim types the reply into that session.

Install pc adds a small command: start Claude Code with pc instead of claude and the session runs in Pim's own terminal session, so the iPhone can reply to it, stop it and answer its questions from any terminal app. Approvals and questions on iPhone adds Pim's hook to Claude Code's settings, and every session brings its requests for approval and its questions to your iPhone.

Turn on the clipboard history in Settings → Clipboard and Pim keeps what you copy — text, pictures, files — in a database on this Mac. ⇧⌘C opens it over any app:

• Type to search, including the text in screenshots, which the Mac recognizes itself
• Return copies an item, or pastes it straight into the app you were in, if you set it to
• Pin the ones you use often; ⌘1–9 picks from the top of the list
• Passwords from password managers, and items apps mark as private, are skipped; leave out whole apps if you like
• Bring your history over from another clipboard app with Import History…
• Right-click an item to ask Pim about it

Pair more than one Mac and they work together. Send Clipboard to another Mac from the menu bar, or with a shortcut you set: text, a picture, or files you copied in Finder (folders go as a zip, up to 50 files of 100 MB each). It lands on the other Mac's clipboard, ready to paste, with a notification — files are saved in its Downloads folder.

Your other Macs are in the main window's sidebar too: browse their files, search them with Spotlight, look at a file with Quick Look, download it, or copy files over. It all goes through Pim's server, so the Macs don't need to be on the same network or the same Apple Account.

• App shortcuts: give any app a keyboard shortcut that opens it or brings it to the front, and hides it if you press it again
• Stay Awake: keep the Mac awake for 1 hour, 3 hours or until you stop, from the menu bar — with the lid closed too, once you allow Pim in System Settings → General → Login Items
• Updates install themselves: Pim for Mac checks every hour and installs a new version when nothing is running

Download Pim for Mac from pim.titdev.nl/mac and open it; it offers to move itself into Applications. Allow Screen Recording and Accessibility, then pair it with Pim on your iPhone — the account lives there — by scanning the QR code the Mac shows, or typing its 8-character code. Pim for Mac checks whether Claude Code and Codex are installed and signed in, and tells you what to run if they aren't.

Pim is an independent app by TIT and is not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI. Claude Code is Anthropic's and Codex is OpenAI's; Pim for Mac runs the copy on your Mac, under your own account, and their terms apply.

• A Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later
• Pim on an iPhone with iOS 18 or later, to sign in and pair
• Claude Code, signed in, for Pim to answer and for Claude Code sessions; Codex if you want Codex sessions
