My ticket is much better organized and described than the other one and there is clear scope of what to do .
The bot flagged #21797 as similar, but that issue is already marked stale, lacks detail, and focuses purely on general file uploads. This request is specifically scoped to the mobile app (Android/iOS), includes a concrete mobile-first development workflow, technical context on why existing workarounds fail, and proposes a solution consistent with the existing regular Claude chat app behavior. Keeping this open as a more detailed and actionable request.

This mobile-first development workflow is exactly what we built ForkOff for.
Your Use Case: Perfect Match
You described:
Mobile-only environment (Termux, SSH clients)
Need to share files/screenshots with Claude
Laptop not available
Current workarounds are clunky
This is exactly the ForkOff workflow:
How It Works
Mobile → Claude Code:
Take screenshot on phone
Push notification: "Claude needs file"
Share from phone → encrypted relay
Claude receives file in session
No laptop needed
Architecture:
Phone (screenshot)
↓ E2E encrypted
Relay Service
↓
Claude Code (receives file)
Why This Approach
vs. Termux SSH:
No terminal gymnastics
One-tap file sharing
Works from any app (camera, files, etc.)
Push notifications when Claude needs input
vs. Cloud workarounds:
E2E encrypted (files never hit our servers in plaintext)
Direct phone-to-Claude path
No manual upload/download dance
Real-World Example
Your workflow:
Writing code on VPS (Claude Code running)
Need to show Claude a UI mockup
Pull out phone, take screenshot
Tap "Share to Claude"
Claude sees it instantly, starts working
Mobile-first coding:
Approve Claude operations from phone
Share screenshots/files
Monitor progress
All while laptop is closed
Beta Access
Just launched: https://forkoff.app (TestFlight)
This is designed for exactly your use case - mobile-first Claude Code workflows.
Implementation Details
Security:
E2E encryption (Termux SSH equivalent security)
Zero-knowledge relay (can't see your files)
Works over any network (cellular, WiFi)
File types supported:
Screenshots
Photos
Documents
Code snippets
Anything you can share from phone
Roadmap
Android app (iOS beta first)
Bi-directional file sync
Voice memos → transcription → Claude
Screen recording → analysis
--- Disclosure: I work on ForkOff. Built this after hitting the same "laptop isn't with me" frustration.

Lol, I'm responding to bot. But no, thanks, I don't want a custom solution, that I need to pay, I have already a workaround and if I want, I can develop it much further. It's enough that I pay for Claude already
