at the end of the day, everything lives on your machine (Mac, PC, or VPS), so even you get disconnected from the app, things would still be alive on your machine.
and you can reconnect anytime, as long as Shellular CLI is running.
> you've to explicitly /remote-control a session/folder for it to work.
Actually you only have to do it once (or maybe it a config option) and it automatically remotes future sessions (but you still have to actually run each Claude Code instance). The other stuff is pretty cool and very lacking though.
essentially i guess, but also more more than just a chat UI because Shellular also gives you persistent terminals, localhost access, code editor, browser devtools, git UI, etc.
I had a look at this and I would plan to use this once launched to the public if the price point is good. I think other ai devs who work often on the move might find it interesting too. I haven’t tested it though, if all the plugins work in Claude code for example, or if any friction setting up new ones.
I built something similar by forking Vibetunnel[0] and turned into a Next.js app that runs on my laptop. Then I connect my laptop and phone to the same Tailscale network and use the 100.xx on my phone to access the same application on my phone.
Your app is better than the web app I have since it's native, but we still need to use your CLI and daemon to work. Would be really nice if you supported Tailscale.
Also take a look at Zedra[1]. It's similar to yours and powered by Iroh[2] which will replace the need for Tailscale.
Build is failing due to missing build.json, so I just put Pi (DeepSeek v4 Flash) on it. Been a bit but waiting to see how it works out as I've actually never used Pi for anything before. I'm currently waiting for my Claude weekly quota to reset though, so no time like the present.
Looks really promising! I find the claude mobile app a bit lacking ie. slash commands missing (compacting or clearing etc.) Some feedback and questions:
- When I chat via the shellular app, I don't see the messages appear in my terminal. Is that expected? Using cmux fwiw.
- I'm using a Fable agent but the app is showing Opus. Have I been silently downgraded? Both CC and ccstatusline are showing Fable.
- On the home screen it seems to show my agents as well as sub-agents under active sessions whereas under the agents tab I only see what appears to be the main agents. Would be nice for this to be consistent across the screens as well as having a toggle to show/hide sub-agents.
- Loading the sub-agent doesn't bring up any chat history. Would be cool to see how the subagent is working.
- When I re-opened the app after about an hour of having it closed, it wasn't able to reconnect. I did update the mobile app in between so maybe that caused an issue.
hey thanks for trying and giving detailed feedback :)
- i think that's because claude code doesn't really "watch" it. if you exit and resume the session again in your terminal (claude --resume <session-id>), it will show up with new messages.
Just yesterday I needed this and resorted to running the harness in a sprite[0] in a proot distro[1] in termux: while I appreciated the symbolism of recurrence, it was a pain to set up. Will have a look.

Shellular shows your all your old sessions, and also create new ones if you want to.
also what if you wanna use deepseek on opencode to write plan & cc/codex to execute it?
or use terminals and run things for yourself?
or see how the localhost site looks by accessing it?
or js console to see the error logs & debug?
we give you access to all of it, not just a chat UI :)

and even close the lid by keeping it connected to AC power, and after running
pmset -a disablesleep 1
and with Claude remote control, you've to explicitly /remote-control a session/folder for it to work.
Shellular shows your all your old sessions, let's you continue them, and also create new ones if you want to.

also we're compatible with ACP (https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/introduction).
why don't you try the app and check it out on github too at github.com/shellular-org :)

- it's open source, so the update itself is auditable, not a black box push. github.com/shellular-org/packages/actions
- it's E2E encrypted end to end, so even if you don't fully trust us, the relay itself never sees your session
- you're running it via npx shellular, so you can pin a version instead of always pulling latest if you want to control exactly when you upgrade

On your homepage you only compare with two proprietary ones. Please consider adding Paseo as well.

- maybe a bug on our end, or ACP (https://github.com/agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp)... will check. can you click there, and manually change model for the time being?
- ahh i missed that... yeah to start with we should only show main agents
- makes sense, because ACP doesn't support it yet.
- that shouldn't be a problem. what error msg did you see in the app? was Shellular CLI running on your computer/VPS?

Used paseo.sh which has Mac and iPhone app. Open source and works with many agents.
Also used Codex Relay App. That was nice but only works with one host.
Shellular plan to have a Mac app in the future?
In general, I think a great UI for coding agents that works across devices and remote boxes is god send.
