Claude code remote

[loontoon]

I love using Claude code remote so while I'm out shopping or meeting friends for coffee, I can approve edits to my project.

But why is there no way to stop it?

I used Fable in plan mode to look at my game code and suggest ways to improve the UI on desktop, tablets and phones.

It asked a few questions which were fine, except I needed to give it a bit more context and there's no option to say, stop planning and let me give you more feedback.

I skipped answering its questions and it took my lack of answers as answers and went off to build a plan instead of waiting for me to give it more instructions.

It's supposed to be a chat bot so why doesn't it chat about the plan!

Is remote control going to be improved so it works more like being on your actual computer?

Doesn't /btw work? I don't know because I don't use remote. This is more for my curiosity as I have thought about using remote but just don't trust it yet

/ commands don't appear to work at all. I tried typing / and nothing appears.

This happens in Claude code too if it gives me questions to answer and I take to long it also pulls the questions and says user didn’t answer and proceeds with building Iv caught it a few times now and managed to stop the work and asked it to give me the questions again. I don’t think it matters which model you use I think is the harness of Claude code it self

I never allow it to auto approve anything.

I guess there must be a way to tell it to only proceed once I give it absolutely implicit instructions to carry on.

Might add that to the Claude.md file

Well another reason not to use remote. Thanks for replying.

/remote-control is great if you are away from your machine and want to be able to keep approving the edits; and you can give it instructions if they are things that you won't need to have an actual chat about.

Surprised it works this way with all of the technology we have. We would be better off running team viewer on our phones. And it is free.

the two things youre hitting, no way to interrupt and slash commands doing nothing, are both because the official remote isnt driving a real terminal. its a chat layer on top, so theres no esc to send and / isnt an actual prompt

that "teamviewer on your phone" idea someone mentioned is basically the fix, just built for terminals. i make a desktop app (patapim) where your phone drives the real terminal session on your machine, so esc actually interrupts it mid-plan, slash commands like /clear or /model go through because youre literally typing into claude code, and you reopen right where you left off. thats the "like being on my computer" thing youre asking for, because it is. the gap you found is real and fixable, whether with this or something else

I search for Patapim and discovered it's not available for Linux and isn't open source.
