Run Claude Code From Your Phone

I run Claude Code from my phone with full access to everything on my computer. I use an app called Termius and a secure connection called SSH. Most of the systems I built for Zero Day AI this month started from my phone while I was at the gym or running errands. Here is how to set it up in about 15 minutes.

What You Need

  • Claude Code with Superpowers plugin (install free with /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official)
  • Termius app on your phone (free version works)
  • A computer that stays on or sleeps with wake enabled
  • Your computer's local IP address or Tailscale for remote access outside your network

Steps

Step 1: Install Superpowers on Your Computer

Before setting up remote access, make sure Superpowers is installed on your computer. This is the Claude Code skill that turns Claude into a senior developer who could work at Apple or Tesla. Once installed, it is available every time you connect remotely.

Run the brainstorm command to verify it works. Claude may prompt you to follow along in a separate window.

/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official

/superpowers:brainstorm

Step 2: Enable SSH on Your Computer

SSH is a secure remote connection that lets your phone talk to your computer. On Mac, go to System Settings, then General, then Sharing, and turn on Remote Login. On Windows, open Settings, then Apps, then Optional Features and install OpenSSH Server.

Once enabled, note your username and your computer's IP address. You will need both for the next step.

Mac: System Settings > General > Sharing > Remote Login

Find your IP:
ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1

Find your username:
whoami

Step 3: Set Up Termius on Your Phone

Download Termius from the App Store or Google Play. Create a new host connection using your computer's IP address, your username, and your password. Tap connect and you will see your computer's terminal on your phone.

This is not some limited mobile app. You get the full terminal with access to all your projects, all your files, and all your skills including Superpowers.

In Termius:
Host: your computer IP (e.g. 192.168.1.50)
Username: your mac username
Password: your mac password

Tap Connect > you see your terminal

Step 4: Run Claude Code From Your Phone

Once connected through Termius, type claude and hit enter. Claude Code launches on your phone exactly like it does on your computer. Navigate to any project folder, describe what you want to build, and let Claude work.

I describe what I want, have Claude use Superpowers to architect it, review the plan on my phone, approve it, and come back later to a finished project that is deployed and running.

$ claude

Claude Code v1.x
> cd ~/projects/my-project
> /superpowers:brainstorm

Claude: "What are we building today?"

Step 5: Optional: Set Up Tailscale for Anywhere Access

The setup above works when your phone is on the same WiFi as your computer. If you want to connect from anywhere, install Tailscale on both your phone and computer. It creates a private network between your devices that works over any internet connection.

Tailscale gives your computer a static IP that works from anywhere. Replace the local IP in Termius with the Tailscale IP and you can build from a coffee shop, the airport, or the gym.

Install Tailscale on both devices
tailscale ip (get your Tailscale IP)

Update Termius host to Tailscale IP
Connect from anywhere in the world

Pro Tips

  • Set your computer to never sleep or enable Wake on LAN so it is always available when you connect.
  • Use Termius snippets to save common commands like navigating to your project folder. One tap instead of typing every time.
  • Start big builds from your phone and let them run. Claude keeps working even after you close Termius as long as you don't explicitly stop it.
  • Tailscale is free for personal use and takes about 2 minutes to set up on each device. It is worth doing even if you only work from home most of the time.

A guide is one thing. A whole system is what you actually need.

The people saving 20+ hours per week and making $10k+/mo with AI right now are doing more than downloading guides they try to put together to get something that's useful. Instead they're running systems that lock in their AI foundation and give them step by step instructions to get real results right now.

If you are serious about getting real results with AI but don't have a clear path to do it, I built a full system with you in mind. That system is Zero Day AI and this is my invite to come see if it's for you.
