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 into the keyboard.

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 really enjoyed reading both posts. Thanks for sharing!

    I, like many others, have written my own "claw" implementation, but it's stagnated a bit. I use it through Slack, but the idea of journaling with it is compelling. Especially when combined with the recent "two sentence" journaling article[1] that floated through HN not too long ago.

    • Happy you liked it! Always really nice to get positive feedback.

      I’ll have to check out the journaling article. I’ve been journaling a lot more lately!

  • Great posts! So far [2] is the only "claw" that has caught my interest, mostly because it isn't trying to do everything itself in some bespoke, NIH way.

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've been using email and Cloudeflare email router. You don't get the direct feedback of a terminal, but it's much easier to read what's happening in html formatted email.

It also feels kind of nice to just fire off an email and let it do it's thing.

  • Oooh, now this is a very interesting idea. I live in my inbox and keep it quite tidy. Email is the perfect place to fire-and-forget ideas and then come back to a full response.

    Do you have a blog outlining how you set it up? I'm curious to learn more.

I use opencode web (server running on my desktop) and accessing it from my phone and it works well.

Same here. So I have to resort to speaking elsewhere (notes app) and copying/pasting.

same but i use android. so i just talk to a google keep note and then copy/paste it. helpful for longer things
