Developer builds phone remote to control Claude Code sessions

A developer who keeps multiple Claude Code sessions open in Claude Desktop's Code tab has built a phone-based remote to manage them when away from the desk, since the desktop app offers no API. The workaround is drawing attention among developers juggling AI coding assistants, with discussion of its open-source approach and implications for controlling desktop tools remotely.

Why now: Developers are interested in DIY workarounds for AI coding tools that lack official APIs
