Claude Code Team: Please fix the core experience instead of branching out into all these tertiary features. I know it is fun and profit to release new features but you need to go deeper into features not broader into there be dragons territory.

I find Xcode's Claude Agent client to be much more stable than the Claude web and Mac apps.

This is buggy to no end. Anthropic needs to slow down The daily “what broke and changed now” with claude code is wearing me out fast.

Claude Code is a good product, they should just keep on steadily improving it and improving the model. I am not sure why they are spraying in all directions like this..

Interested to see Anthropic do this sort of move, but it's very useful to see.

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.

Same here on my iPhone. I didn't previously log it into my github account as I don't use github anymore, I use gitlab. So it wont find anything useful there. You actually only need to do this in order to be able to access the list of sessions. Even if you don't log into github, remote-control still works if you copy across the link that the cli tool outputs for you and just visit that on your phone. That's a bit of a pain though of course.

This is an extremely clunky and buggy prerelease, so don't try to hot fix prod from the toilet without a different mobile frontend. Right now: - You can't interrupt Claude (you press stop and he keeps going!) - At best it stops but just keeps spinning - The UI disconnects intermittently - It disconnects if you switch to other parts of Claude - It can get stuck in plan mode - Introspection is poor - You see XML in the…

Also broken for me.

First of all /remote-control in the terminal just printed a long url. Even though they advertise we can control it from the mobile app (apparently it should show a QR code but doesn't). I fire up the mobile app but the session is nowhere to be seen. I try typing the long random URL in the mobile browser, but it simply throws me to the app, but not the session. I read random reddit threads and they say the session will be under "Code", not "Chats", but for that you have to connect github to the Claude app (??, I just want to connect to the terminal Claude on my PC, not github). Ok I do it.

Now even though the session is idle on the pc, the app shows it as working... I try tapping the stop button, nothing happens. I also can't type anything into it. Ok I try starting a prompt on the pc. It starts the work on the PC, but on the mobile app I get a permission dialog... Where I can deny or allow the thing that actually already started on the pc because I already gave permission for that on the PC. And many more. Super buggy.

I wonder if they let Claude write the tests for their new features... That's a huge pitfall. You can think it works and Claude assures you all is fine but when you start it everything falls apart because there are lots of tests but none actually test the actual things.

That's a bummer. I was looking forward to testing this, but that seems pretty limiting. My current solution uses Tailscale with Termius on iOS. It's a pretty robust solution so far, except for the actual difficulty of reading/working on a mobile screen. But for the most part, input controls work. My one gripe with Termius is that I can't put text directly into stdin using the default iOS voice-to-text feature baked i…

I’ve been doing this for a while [1], but ultimately settled on a building a thin transport layer for Telegram to accept and return media, and persistent channels, vastly improved messaging UX, etc. and ended up turning this into a ‘claw with a heartbeat and SOUL [2].

I ended doing a similar thing, but each tg bot can choose what repo/session to attend to.

I was doing something similar, but it felt clunky on my phone.

Wrote a daemon + mobile app (similar to Happy, but fixed a lot of the problems) and baked in Tailscale support.

Will open source it soon and should have an official release in the next few weeks: https://getroutie.com/

I built a project achieving similar goals. You launch a web server then connect to it using either browser or Android app, then create a session to talk to Claude Code. The sessions are synchronized in real time across all devices and automatically saved to disk and continued when server restarts. Recently I've added features to schedule tasks in the future and to assemble agent teams. The project is mostly vibe-coded with Opus 4.6 with few supervision beyond trying its functionalities out.

Project is at http://github.com/vincent-163/claude-code-multi/. Can be installed easily with nodejs.

Please provide feedbacks and suggestions!

I find it often helps me to see a feature before I evaluate if it was really a good idea in the first place. This is my failing--but one thing I like about Claude is that it's now possible to just try stuff and throw away whatever doesn't work out.

Was always possible. Now just easier.

Well, kind of I guess. I have limited hours in the day.

Yes. Doing the same. What is the advantage of this new feature? Tmux/Tailscale/Termius give you full control of your terminal. Or mainly to save the end user the hassle to set it up correctly?

Ease of setup is the biggest reason. I use this setup as well, but there are other UX niceties that would be a lot better with a dedicated mobile app: push notifications when Claude needs your input (I use a hook for this that connects to Pushover, but that's another service and extra setup), voice input, autocorrect that's right for this context, etc.

Very interesting. Tell me more about your push notification setup!
