I don't like typing long messages on my phone so this workflow, as cool as it sounds, wouldn't work for me. My current setup is that I have a Claude Code hook that runs whenever CC needs my input and it uses my Home Assistant instance to send a push notification to my phone. I then return back to the computer and continue on the work.

This works reasonably well, but there is a gap for small messages or review comments. I am waiting for Anthropic to shop a feature where the Claude mobile app is able to mirror Claude Code (not the Claude desktop app) and lets me see the diffs of the changes it made and send commands. I'd use this to steer the conversation while on the go with short commands or prompts so that when I'm back at the computer I can focus on the important feedback that I can jot down quickly on the computer keyboard.

I also don't like typing long messages on my phone that's why I use this keyboard that will do high quality transcriptions via whatever AI provider you want. Much better than siri/google speech to text on device.

I'll half-ass something from my phone to take an idea down, but this setup also works with a keyboard. I just run claude in a container with --dangerously-skip-permissions and it does a lot more work with a lot less questions.

I concur that phones aren't great as they are today, but perhaps this exact scenario will prompt the return of PDAs with proper keyboards etc? Or, alternatively, subcompact laptops like the stuff that https://gpdstore.net makes - they are still small enough to be pocketable (needs fairly large pockets but...), and yet you get a keyboard that is actually usable, and they even have one device with fold-out dual screen.

I use the same setup myself, download WisprFlow for IOS and over time just add to its dictionary the unusual words you often use during development

works perfectly, i just say what i want coded, press enter, and Claude Code just does it in my server over Termius app

I was looking for a similar scheme, and though far from perfect I found you can run tmux+ttyd. ttyd lets you share your terminal over http. That lets you use your phone's browser (and speech-2-text).
