Mobile Claude Code
Built personal infrastructure for accessing AI-assisted coding sessions from anywhere. Tailscale mesh VPN + tmux + iOS SSH client = Claude Code in my pocket.
The Challenge
Claude Code is a terminal-based AI coding assistant—powerful, but traditionally tied to a desk. Remote work meant leaving active sessions behind or losing context mid-task.
The Approach
Combined three tools into a seamless mobile workflow: Tailscale for secure mesh networking to my home machine from anywhere, tmux for persistent terminal sessions that survive disconnects, and Terminus as a capable iOS SSH client.
The Outcome
Full Claude Code access from my iPhone, anywhere with cell signal. Sessions persist across disconnects. Context is never lost.
Key Details
- Tailscale provides zero-config VPN with WireGuard encryption
- tmux sessions survive network interruptions and device switches
- Terminus offers keyboard shortcuts and session management on iOS
- Total setup time: under 30 minutes. Zero ongoing maintenance.
