I built claude-wormhole 3 weeks ago. Last night Anthropic shipped basically the same thing.
Here's mine running. Same Claude Code session, synced across VS Code, browser, iPad, iPhone. Even the prompt stays in sync:

Backstory -
I kept seeing projects like OpenClaw. AI agents on a VPS, available 24x7 through Telegram. Assign tasks, check progress, get results. Cool concept. So I tried it. 6 agents on a Hetzner box.
It went badly. API costs nobody was watching. SSH brute-force attempts within hours. Tokens in readable config files. I set the whole thing up twice before admitting it wasn't working. More time on infrastructure than on anything useful.
And then I thought, wait. I don't want agents running on some VPS. I want my own Mac, my own files, my own dev environment. I just want to reach it from my phone.
This had been annoying me for 6 months. Every time I used Claude Code, same story. Kick off a task, walk away, come back and Claude is frozen on a permission prompt. Or I'd close my laptop and the whole session would be gone. Context, conversation, everything.
I just wanted to check my phone, tap approve, maybe tell Claude to look at something else, put the phone down. From the couch. From wherever. Without spinning up a VPS or configuring cloud stuff.
So I built claude-wormhole.
tmux keeps sessions alive. Close the terminal, sleep the laptop, reboot. Doesn't matter. Auto-saves every 15 minutes, survives restarts.
A web terminal (Next.js + xterm.js) connects to tmux over WebSocket. Install it as a PWA on your phone. Dark theme, full screen, custom virtual keyboard for Ctrl+C and Escape because phone keyboards can't send those. That keyboard took three tries to get right, by the way.
Tailscale handles networking. Phone and Mac on a private network. Nothing on the public internet.
Push notifications too. Claude finishes something or needs input, phone buzzes, I tap "y", done.
The video shows what this actually looks like. I switch between VS Code, browser, iPad, iPhone. Type on one, appears on all of them instantly.
Last night Anthropic announced Remote Control. Run `claude remote-control`, connect from the Claude app or https://t.co/6DSxODegm4. One command. Native mobile app. Clean.
Different tradeoffs though.
Close the terminal and the Remote Control session is gone. Their docs say so directly. With wormhole, tmux IS the session. I've rebooted my Mac and come back to everything still there.
Remote Control does one session at a time. I run 3-4 in parallel, one per project. Switch between them from my phone.
You need a Pro or Max plan. No API keys. Wormhole works with whatever you've got.
Remote Control goes through Anthropic's servers. Wormhole stays on your Tailscale network.
Setup is where Remote Control wins. One command vs 15 minutes. And a native mobile app is genuinely nice. Credit where it's due.
I'm kind of glad they built it. Means this wasn't just me being weird about a problem nobody else had. But I'm keeping wormhole because it does what I wanted for 6 months: sessions that won't die, multiple projects running, everything on my own network.

New in Claude Code: Remote Control.
Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting.
Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or https://t.co/er6Blrr63e
Britain abolished slavery in 1833. Three years later, they invented its replacement. They used Indians to run it.
Between 1.9 and 3.5 million people. Lied to, Shipped across oceans. Worked under a system survivors called "slavery with the chains taken off."
The story India almost forgot featuring powerful insights from @ShawnBinda
If every employee is laid off because of AI Automation, across the industry, who will have buying power to purchase things these industry creating or building ?
- The email tech is open source yet everyone have a gmail account for email.
- We had Hike in 2012, it failed as facebook acquired whatsapp, facebook had the social network monopoly.
- Indian dont want to pay, but dont care for data, and data based business (ads) is owned by US Techs.
- Neither govt can do it nor private, Even the citizen are not interested. Only few people understand and care.
First @claudeai undercut the @cursor_ai to serve the Developers directly, now with recent change they are throwing away the same developers. Its time to explore better options. #Cladue
@nixxin Yes, the worst UX, nobody can comprehend easily what to configure and where to configure, and how to reach there. Their payment system is same.
@DeepakNesss gemini-cli is not stable and polished enough. It keeps breaking, time-out etc. I have one workflow dependent on it and that workflow breaks everyday from a new random reason.
I find Hermes Agent better than OpenClaw initially,
but I am done with it. (7 days, and its not able to remember a simple instructions)
moving back to a simple system I build for myself on top of Claude code that is better to compound.
