Claude Code has a /remote-control command let's you access the session from their phone app or a browser, is this better?

remote control is super annoying. you've to explicitly /remote-control a session/folder for it to work.

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 :)

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.

Shellular, or Claude Remote Control?

Stuff in Shellular is cool, very lacking in Claude Remote Control.

After trying Shellular for a bit I have to honestly say though that it's got some sharp edges. Main one that hit me hard is the sessions don't sync: I expect to see the same thing (live and saved) across CC CLI and CRC as in Shellular and vice versa, but that isn't the case.

firstly, thank you!

now regarding sessions, that's really unexpected. the sessions are on your computer/VPS, so if you start a session in your computer, they should show up in Shellular, and vice-versa.

what's the best place to chat more about this with you?

Codex does too. It's the best of them. Lets you connect directly to your mac, and run codex ON your mac.
Ugh, that's not better at at all
Curious why you feel that way... Personally I find the feature convenient because I can prompt Codex, running on my mac, with access to everything I've given it access to, directly from my phone. That means all the plugins, the local CLIs, browser control, everything...
if you feel that way, then you will love Shellular :)
