How I Use Claude Code on My Phone with Termux and Tailscale

SMRTR summary

A developer shows how to run Claude Code on mobile using standard Unix tools instead of custom apps. The setup connects an Android phone to a desktop computer through SSH and Tailscale networking, with Termux providing a full Linux terminal and tmux maintaining persistent coding sessions that survive disconnections. This approach offers advantages like direct port forwarding for testing changes on the phone's browser and full system access. The configuration takes about 20 minutes but provides complete mobile development capabilities.
