I’ve thought about this many times, maybe with a custom telegram bot!

#162So this is the 4th+ article I've seen on using a VPN to vibe code on your phone. Would an email interface to Claude code work better? - Email Claude to start the coding - Claude emails you with any thing it needs acked on. - you reply back to emails telling it what to do. - maybe Claude can run your program and send back screen shots. seems easier then getting a vpn working. What is the downside to using email?
Email might work, however if you're a Telegram user you could write a bot that runs on your home system that runs the cli commands on your behalf and then sends the output as a response to you. No need to open up any ports on your router.
Cloudflare worker would work, too

#163> What You'll Need > A Computer running 24/7 with Internet Connection > A Smartphone > A Claude Pro subscription Or.. just install Termux and do it the same way you do it anywhere else?
Hang on, is Claude running on your phone/tablet and installing large dev dependencies right there? Or which parts of this stack are you replacing with termux?
Yeah, everything runs on the phone

I mean the power of the work machine really depends on what your needs are. Definitely should adapt to whatever your needs are. > And there's no way this thing would handle a useful local model So if you have a setup like mine then it is fairly trivial to incorporate that (or anything else). Either way you'll need a machine that can do the local AI though. Either that is on your "work machine" or you run the AI on a…
I appreciate the thought, but advice like this is completely irrelevant to my current circumstances (and personal principles) and would be very expensive (respectively, emotionally unpleasant) to implement.
Just trying to help given that you responded. I'm happy to help you find solutions but the constraints might be too much, unfortunately. If you don't have a machine that can run local AI and don't have the funds to buy one then frankly it just isn't in the cards. But hey, if you don't want to use AI or at least willing to use non-local then the setup probably doesn't require you to spend a dime.

#165I have similar setup, one thing to add is map action button to a shortcut for dictate to clipboard since you can’t dictate directly into termius.

I have read of people doing remote coding with clause but through having Claude create pull request. The user then looks through the requests, and either approves or sends it back with edits. Seems like a good way to interact with Claude code, especially once one sets up a test suite and those proposed pull requests have proven not to regress.
Same approach here. PR is the human review point, tests + CodeRabbit catch most issues -> https://github.com/cloud-atlas-ai/miranda.
The gap I wanted to fill: when Claude is genuinely uncertain ("JWT or sessions?" "Breaking change or not?"), it either guesses wrong or punts to the PR description where you can't easily respond.
Built a Telegram bot that intercepts Claude's AskUserQuestion calls via a hook, sends me an inline keyboard, injects my answer back into the session. Claude keeps working, PR still happens—but I can unblock it from my phone in 5 seconds instead of rejecting a PR based on a wrong guess.
Works in tandem with a bunch of other LLM enhancers I've built, they're linked in the README or that repo

It wouldn't shock me if multiple people came up with this idea independently. I've certainly experimented with it over the last couple years.

#168I use Terminus with Zellij and keep about 8 sessions going with a combination of Claude and Codex, and once in a while, Gemini. It's great when you're sitting in a docotor's office lobby bored out of your skull and when you get back to your desk you just join the session and it's all right there.

While I don't use the AI part I have a very similar scheme and it is one of the reasons I encourage people to live in the terminal. The idea is to create a modern "terminal"[0] My main computer is a Macbook Air, which I carry around with me. It's purpose is for: internet, using Microsoft products when I'm forced to, Zoom/meetings, and SSH (or Mosh). Most of my work is not done on this Macbook, instead I use it mostly…
Things are trending this way. I call it the PC counter-revolution.

I'm fairly sure that levelsio didn't popularize SSHing into a computer from your phone to run a program. We were all doing it before LLMs.
