Ease of setup is the biggest reason. I use this setup as well, but there are other UX niceties that would be a lot better with a dedicated mobile app: push notifications when Claude needs your input (I use a hook for this that connects to Pushover, but that's another service and extra setup), voice input, autocorrect that's right for this context, etc.

Very interesting. Tell me more about your push notification setup!

I have a hook in my claude.json that fires on "Stop", it calls a shell script (written by Claude, of course) that calls the Pushover API: https://pushover.net/, which lets you send push notifications to your device. It's paid, but just a one-time fee when you install the app on your phone.

The shell script takes a message which includes Claude's message, but unfortunately there's no deeplinking back to my ssh app (for obvious reasons, the notification just routes you to the pushover app), so instead of tapping the message, I know to just open my Blink shell app to respond to Claude.

This is also quite noisy when I'm just sitting at my desk working, but I usually turn off phone notifications while working anyway.
