I have claude code hooks that send local computer notifications when action is required or processing finished. And when I step away from computer, I get those notifications through pushover. Then I login on phone to ssh (mosh) with Termius and connect to the tmux session running claude. I use this approach when watching TV with the family and laptop is not appreciated on the sofa. :)

Every time I read these "I've managed to control Claude Code from my phone posts", they come with some variation of "so that I can continue being on my computer" during some other activity. It's a very personal decision, but feels like on of these points where people should re-evaluate. Just because we can, doesn't mean we should.

> it was so good that I caught myself coding from my phone while out with friends… and decided that this is something I should stop, more for mental health than anything.

I wouldn't want to code from phone. Ugly to type code on a tiny screen. But this feels different. Voice typing emails to an agent, from a space removed, taking a step back? It gives perspective. It's a good way to work, I find.

You can be in your day. You don't have to be 'head in the code'. Let the agent take care of it. That's what I made it for. To get you out of that!

I am not coding while out with friends. I am just checking status and giving new instructions between breaks. It lets me spend more time away from the computer screen without feeling unease.

This is smart and the right way!
