Of course its not near as good, but that's not the point - it's meant to supplement normal development, not compete with it. The idea that one can be nearly as productive on a mobile phone as on a pc is a fairy tale. Best example is the github app which functionally might be ok, but is unusable for e.g. looking at the source code of a repo in any meaningful way (IMO).

There's plenty of situations where one doesn't want to stay at the PC for AI to finish its thing. Now we can just go about our life and check in from the phone. IMO great feature. Would've used it many times in the past but didn't want to be bothered with some wrapper around CC that perhaps did it already.

It's not an argument whether you can be more productive on phone or desktop. Some people (like myself) simply don't have much time to be dedicated at desks so we have to build workflows that support being able to at least be reasonably productive from our phones.

I'm super happy Anthropic finally releases this tool. It's a starting point and I hope they'll improve it. I did a comparison with its features / capabilities here: https://yepanywhere.com/claude-code-remote-control.html

I get your point, but just out of curiosity, what is 'reasonably productive' in that case? E.g. compared to speed/efficiency/ease of coding/developing/researching on PC, would you say you're 20% of that on your phone? I reckon for me the number is like <10%. Just typing code on a phone is a chore. Having browsers open on another screen, splitting terminals, ssh tunnels and so many other things make any form of using mobile phones for what I use my pc for is a literal mental pain and thus I don't do it. I'd be better off doing additional 5 minutes on my PC instead of doing 50 minutes on my phone (and I have a foldable one lol).

I know everyone is different thus my curiosity about other peoples experience!
