Clautel - Claude Code from your phone

Clautel, also known as Claude Code from your phone, is a new feature from Anthropic that lets developers control complex tasks on their computer from a phone or tablet. It acts like a remote control for your coding work, letting you step away from your desk without losing your progress.

Benefits

This feature helps developers stay in their creative zone by allowing them to take breaks or move around while their coding tasks continue. It provides a secure way to connect your computer's terminal to Anthropic's AI models without opening up your computer to the internet. Your files and settings stay on your computer, and only the chat messages and results are sent back and forth securely.

Use Cases

Developers can start a coding task at their desk and then continue managing it from their phone or tablet. This is useful for simple breaks or for working in different locations. It allows users to view and control processes that are still running on their local computer.

Vibes

This feature is currently available as a Research Preview for users with the Claude Max subscription. Access for Claude Pro users is expected soon. It is not yet available for Team or Enterprise plans.

Additional Information

Clautel's Remote Control feature is an official solution that replaces older, unofficial methods. It offers a stable connection and includes features like automatic reconnection if the network connection drops or the device goes to sleep. This development shows Anthropic's growing role in AI tools that can help write code, moving beyond simple suggestions to more autonomous assistance. The trend towards mobile control of AI coding tools suggests that it may become easier for individuals to manage complex software projects.
