How do you use Claude Code via your phone?
Personally I use dev containers on a server and I have written some template containers for quickly setting up new containers that has claude code and some scripts for easily connecting to the right container etc. Makes it possible to work on mobile,but lots of room for improvement in the workflow still.
vibetunnel.sh perhaps
What's your workflow if I may ask? I've been interested in the idea as well.
The project is just a web backend. I give Claude Code grunt work tasks. Things like "make X operation also return Y data" or "create Z new model + CRUD operations". Also asking it to implement well-known patterns like denouncing or caching for an existing operation works well.
My app builds and runs fine on Termux, so my CLAUDE.md says to always run unit tests after making changes. So I punch in a request, close my phone for a bit, then check back later and review the diff. Usually takes one or two follow-up asks to get right, but since it always builds and passes tests, I never get complete garbage back.
There are some tasks that I never give it. Most of that is just intuition. Anything I need to understand deeply or care about the implementation of I do myself. And the app was originally hand-built by me, which I think is important - I would not trust CC to design the entire thing from scratch. It's much easier to review changes when you understand the overall architecture deeply.
Unless you're getting paid for your commute, you're just giving your employer free productivity. I would recommend doing literally anything else with that time. Read a book, maybe.
Everywhere I've worked as a programmer you're just paid to do your job. If you get some of it done on your commute what difference does it make?
It's for a paid side gig.
