Claude Code on mobile
Run it from your iPhone, with the code still on your Mac.
The agent already runs on your Mac. What you want on your phone is a remote — watch the session, answer its questions, stop a bad run, start new work — without moving your code, your tools or your login anywhere else.
Pick up the session I left running at my desk.
over your own tailnet · no public portonline · $0.00
That's what Amelias Agent is. A native iOS app that connects to a small server on your Mac over your own private Tailscale network. Start a session at your desk, finish it from the couch, the job site, or the school pickup line.
What you get on the phone
- Live streaming — responses, thinking, and tool calls arrive in real time
- Steer or stop a run mid-flight; approve dangerous commands inline
- Terminal pickup — sessions you started in the terminal appear with full history, and you can continue them — even with a different model
- Workspace browser — read any file in the repo from your phone
- Lock Screen Live Activities — agent progress without opening the app
Why not just an API-key app?
Most "Claude on mobile" tools bill per token through an API key — so your Pro or Max subscription sits unused while you pay twice. Amelias Agent drives the CLI already logged in on your Mac, so your existing subscription is the whole bill. The same goes for Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax, or a local model through Ollama — whatever runs on your machine, the phone can drive. More on that: self-hosted AI agents.
- Bills per token through a key
- Your Pro or Max subscription sits unused
- A proxy sits between you and the model
- The CLI already logged in does the work
- Your existing subscription is the whole bill
- The app talks only to your machine
Frequently asked
Can I use Claude Code from my phone?
Yes — through the app, connected to your own Mac. Nothing about Claude Code changes; you're driving the same session you'd have in the terminal.
Do I need an API key?
No. No API keys, no second subscription, no proxy in the middle.
Can I pick up a session I started in the terminal?
Yes, with full history — and you can switch the model when you do.
Does my code leave my computer?
No. The app talks only to your machine, end-to-end encrypted over your tailnet. The app's App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected" — see privacy.
Set it up in ~15 minutes
The app's onboarding includes a copy-paste prompt: hand it to any AI agent on your Mac (Claude Code itself works) and it sets up the server and Tailscale for you, safely. Manual steps live in support.

Your machine, your keys, your bill.
Running Amelia on hardware you own with your own model keys costs you nothing at all. The phone is just the window onto it.
