What's Wrong?

Dispatch and Claude Desktop are set up and running with the dispatch option. I sent a request from the Claude Android app, and it took about five minutes to go through. Earlier it asked twice for permission to authorize execution, and now it’s asking for permission again.

The whole thing feels pretty slow, which makes it hard to rely on if you need a quick answer or want to run something in your repo within a minute (for example, C:\Users\username\source\repos\yourproject). If I run the same command in Claude Code Desktop or through the CLI, it finishes much faster.

Feels like there might be extra hops, layers, or abstractions in the middle that are slowing down the dispatch feature. It is not practical to wait 10+ minutes and be confirming every Terminal command in dispatch (cd, cat, etc).

What Should Happen?

Requests sent from the Claude Android app using dispatch should complete quickly, similar to running the same command in Claude Code Desktop or via the CLI. Execution should start right away, and permission prompts shouldn’t repeat unnecessarily.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Set up Dispatch and Claude Desktop with the dispatch option enabled.
  2. Open the Claude app on Android.
  3. Send a request that triggers execution in a local repository (e.g., C:\Users\username\source\repos\yourproject).
  4. Approve any permission prompts when they appear.
  5. Wait for the request to complete.
  6. Notice the delay and repeated permission prompts. 😩
  7. Run the same command in Claude Code Desktop or via CLI and compare the speed.
