Out of curiosity, what issues did you face with remote control on claude? I use it daily and it seems to work pretty well (bar the issues when my Mac would sleep and then the session would disconnect, but that's an issue on my end).
Made a menu bar app you may find useful for MacBook sleep prevention, even when the lid is closed:
Myriad, to be honest. I find it to just constantly be in a 'torn' state, the UI is very mushy on mobile with a lot of the affordances from desktop missing, and... it's distinctly less useful when you can't... edit, rewind, start a new thread, etc.
My own experience has been that it works for about five minutes before it just disconnects or hangs. I’ve never been able to use it successfully.
