Remote Control, for Claude Code

Background

Tasks

• Create effective power user solutions to manage Claude Code sessions running on my Windows or WSL desktop environments, via iPad and Android phone.

• Solution from CC …

• Best path: SSH into WSL from a mobile terminal app.

  Setup steps:

  1. Install SSH server in WSL: sudo apt install openssh-server sudo service ssh start

  2. Find WSL IP: hostname -I

  3. On router/Windows — forward port 22 (or non-default port) to that IP, or use a tunnel tool.

  4. Mobile apps:

  • iPad: Blink Shell (best), Termius, or iSH
  • Android: Termux + SSH client, or Termius

  Better alternative — no port forwarding needed:

  Use Tailscale (free, mesh VPN):

  WSL

  curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh sudo tailscale up Install Tailscale on iPad/Android → machines appear on private network → SSH directly by hostname. No router config,
  works on any network.

  Then from mobile terminal: ssh ta@ → claude to start session.
