I really don't want to trust an AI company with a remote access door on my setup

Regular claude code is already a remote access door to your setup, once you've granted a few command execution permissions. (e.g. if it can edit your code and run the test suite)

Yes and no: I hope (not verified) that regular claude code client only sends requests, and doesn't open ports for remote access

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 stil…

I don't know a single person who is satisfied with the status quo on streaming services where you have to subscribe to multiple ones. Everyone is complaining that the landscape is 1) more fragmented than cable was, 2) costs more, 3) has even more ads than cable

You can't seriously claim points 2) and 3) if you've ever actually paid for and watched cable

Its just amazing how people on HN can say the most absurd things with total conviction. No wonder LLMs do the same, it's in the training data.

I literally see no ads on my streaming subscription for close to a tenth of the price of cable.

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

claude /logout -> claude /login -> claude /remote-control

If you'd read the entire issue, you'd see that not only is that solution mentioned multiple times, it's not working for some people.

I want this for Codex.

Yep. Came to say the same thing. I'd only used Codex in VSCode and in the Codex app, and at least those have the same history, but my understanding is that the cloud and CLI versions have this hierarchy of 'visibility' [0]. Perhaps they'll need to change this design decision?

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

I think a significant distinction between your approach and Claude’s approach is that your approach requires allowing your machine to accept inbound connections but Claude’s approach does not. Claude probably went with the latter to avoid a whole class of security issues and mitigate risk of users having their machines compromised. I’m not familiar with what the new vectors of attack are with Claude’s approach though.
