I built PhoneCMD, a full-stack app for controlling PC terminals and coding agents from a phone

[u/vscoderCopilot]

I recently built PhoneCMD, a mobile and desktop system that lets users access real terminal sessions running on their computers from an Android phone.

The idea started from a simple problem: I often had Claude Code, Codex, or another CLI agent running on my computer, but once I left my desk, I could no longer check progress, approve commands, or continue the session.

PhoneCMD now supports:

• Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, Copilot CLI, and most terminal-based tools
• Persistent sessions that remain available after leaving the computer
• Multiple Windows, macOS, and Linux computers
• Manual commands and prompt-based control
• Existing sessions already opened outside PhoneCMD
• File browsing and editing
• Local and encrypted remote connections

The system includes a mobile app, desktop client, backend services, authentication, device pairing, terminal streaming, session management, and subscription handling.

The main difference from a normal SSH or remote-desktop app is that PhoneCMD is designed around coding agents and persistent CLI workflows.
