First screenshot is of a phone.

Yeah I’m never installing a coding agent on my phone.

Why not?

Both codex and Claude have remote from phone. I’m personally using cli + terminal from phone.

I’m sure I’m not the only one.

  • Tiny screen that can barely show any information and the awkward miniature keyboard that's slow to use and gives no feedback, it's a pretty awful way to do anything.

    • lately, i like to try to spend the morning talking through and framing up a few very detailed initiatives for parallel efforts that each spawn and orchestrate their own tasks, then feed them to /goals and go for a nice walk in the park, get some groceries, check in on the orchestrators and spawned tasks along the way, steer them from the phone.

      so far it's been working pretty well for me in most cases, but not always. having a few parallel efforts in motion means that even if one goes off the rails, i can pause it and still make progress on the others, then fix it up when i get home.

    • no issues here with a small iPhone and Blink. I can change the text size on the fly, and am very used to typing on the phone keyboard. Also use dictation

  • Because I’m not putting work in my pocket.

    • I don't use it for work I use it for my private projects and this allows me to work on them even when I'm commuting which used ti be wasted time.

    • id rather have it in my pocket and get stuff done while im out doing what I feel like doing instead of sitting in an office all day.

You can also use it as a plain old chat client. I prefer it over OpenWebui because I can actually carry over my OpenCode configuration, which has specialized subagent definitions (for example, the "research" agent fires off a bunch of "web search" agents that use a cheap model to fetch and summarize, and the more capable "research" agent pulls it all together, decides if more search effort is necessary, etc.). So I can VPN into my home network and boom, self-hosted chat interface that's more capable than what you can (easily) do in OpenWebui.
