I see people on here every week setting up Telegram relays, self hosted web UIs, and all kinds of sketchy stuff trying to get that dream setup. Permanently be able to talk to your actual Claude Code on your computer from your phone like it’s a real assistant. With all of your real Claude’s memory and conext. I was literally down the same rabbit hole yesterday looking at open source projects to bridge my sessions. I tried the tmux Tailscale thing, that’s cool but it’s not fun lol. Then I found out the thing we’re all chasing is already built in. And I’m not just talking about /remote-control. Most people seem to know about that. I’m talking about the persistent server mode. claude remote-control When you run this as a standalone command (not inside a session), it starts a dedicated server on your Mac that sits there waiting for connections. That’s the part people are missing. You’re not just sharing an existing session. You can start brand new sessions from your phone with a permanent connection. Open the Claude iOS app or go to <claude.ai/code> and your Mac is just there, ready to go. I set it up as a launchd service so it runs on login. Made a little AppleScript toggle app to turn it on and off. Now it’s just always available. Here’s where it gets crazy though. I’m not a real developer. But I’ve been building out my Claude Code setup for months now. I’ve got MCP servers pulling in Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, and Google Docs. Scheduled tasks that refresh data every few hours, parse meeting notes into action items, run maintenance on a persistent memory system. Claude knows my projects, my team, my clients, how I like to work. It has a full CLAUDE.md with routing to detailed memory files on everything in my life. All of that lives on my Mac. And now all of that is in my pocket. I’m literally sitting in my car on 5G right now talking to the same Claude that has full context on my entire workflow. No extra apps. No Telegram. No port forwarding or Tailscale. It just works over outbound HTTPS through Anthropic’s servers. So the dream setup for many is already an option. It’s free. It’s first party. And it takes one command! Yes I know there are no slash commands through it yet, but still! submitted by /u/JohnnyLegion
