That's what I've been doing with termux, mosh, and tmux.

Which is so much better because you can do other terminal stuff and you can avoid vendor lock in.

That's not what vendor lock in means. If you sign up for a cloud hoster and then build your whole product on propriety services that you can't get anywhere else instead of using an off the shelf database or open source software, that's vendor lock in.

If you'd have to switch to a different tool to do your coding that's not vendor lock in.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

On the other hand, you lose a lot of time if you step away from a session and it gets stuck asking for permission to do something simple.

Oh no! Anyway.

I don’t understand this comment?

I’m guessing you’re suggesting it’s ok to lose time if you’re away from your computer enjoying life, and I agree. I also don’t see the issue in finding ways to be save time with work.

If you mean something different, please elaborate.

Worth noting that this is currently broken for a number of users, I'm on a Max plan and I get the message "Error: Remote Control is not enabled for your account. Contact your administrator" which isn't helpful since I'm my administrator and ... this gets recursive quickly. There's an open issue on github for it: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/28098

Opencode's 'web' command makes your local session run on the browser with same access rights as the cli. It's a pretty slick interface too. I sometimes use it instead of the cli even when I can access both. You can test it right now if you want with the included free models. https://opencode.ai/docs/web/

I was having too many bugs using it with my phone, I gave up and went back to Termux

On Android app it needs Claude GitHub connection with scope to act on my behalf! Otherwise it won't work in the app. Really do NOT like that! Why does the remote control needs that? For what? I rather use the common developer tools like termux or mosh etc. on a phone if I need that functionality.

Make a throwaway GitHub account just for it and give it PR access to your private repos.

But the whole point of remote control was to avoid that situation.

I feel like a lot of folks are saying this kills the Code on your Phone opportunity some start-ups are building for. I don't agree. I feel like coding agents are like streaming services, we will subscribe to multiple and switch between them. So for one there's value in a universal control plane. The other is that mobile as a coding interface should offer more than a remote control to the desktop. I think there's still some space to cook, especially if people are investing 8 hours a day talking to agents, the interface surely matters.

It's changing super fast. I am using it on the desktop mostly and when I tried on my phone there were issues yes. But do try it out again in a few weeks.

(I am actually using zellij on the remote and using various CLIs more than I am using only opencode on the web. I was using wezterm mux until about a week ago but the current state of the terminal is not very good for this scenario. It seems like almost all the CLIs are choking because of nodejs ink library)
