[FEATURE] Add SSH and/or Mosh connectivity to the Claude Code mobile app
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Add SSH and/or Mosh connectivity to the Claude Code mobile app so users can link directly to a local or remote machine running a Claude Code session, rather than being limited to cloud-only interactions.
Motivation
Power users run Claude Code on local machines (Mac mini, home servers, dev boxes) exposed via Tailscale, Mosh, or standard SSH. The mobile app currently has no way to connect to these environments. This forces a context switch — you either use the desktop app or lose access to your local toolchain entirely.
Mosh in particular is well-suited for mobile: it handles packet loss, roaming between networks, and intermittent connectivity gracefully — all common mobile conditions.
Proposed Behavior
- In-app SSH connection manager: add a host, port, user, and key/password
- Optional Mosh transport for resilient mobile connections
- Once connected, the mobile app acts as a terminal front-end to the Claude Code session running on the remote machine
- Full tool access (filesystem, bash, MCP servers) inherited from the remote environment
Use Cases
- Connect to a Mac mini or Linux dev box running Claude Code via Tailscale
- Resume a Claude Code session started on desktop from a phone while away
- Use Claude Code's full local tool suite (MCP servers, local files, git) from mobile
Prior Art
- Blink Shell, Termius, and a-Shell demonstrate robust SSH/Mosh on iOS
- Tailscale's mobile app shows smooth VPN-layer connectivity patterns on both iOS and Android
Additional Context
This would unlock Claude Code as a genuine mobile-first agentic interface for developers who already have local infrastructure set up, rather than requiring a separate cloud runtime." 2>&1
