Shellular - Run AI agents and terminals from your phone
Show HN: Shellular – run Claude Code, Codex, Pi from your phone
Shellular transforms your smartphone into a powerful remote development hub, allowing you to run AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Pi directly from your pocket. Built by the team behind Acode, this tool provides a real terminal, full file system access, and localhost tunneling to your machine without exposing it to the public internet. With end-to-end encryption and seamless session persistence, developers can edit code, manage git repos, and monitor services from anywhere, effectively unchaining them from their desks.
Shellular let me actually go out, hang with friends and chill in the park, and still feel unchained. Every agent session is right there no matter which folder, unlike some competitors.

I built something similar by forking Vibetunnel[0] and turned into a Next.js app that runs on my laptop. Then I connect my laptop and phone to the same Tailscale network and use the 100.xx on my phone to access the same application on my phone.
Your app is better than the web app I have since it's native, but we still need to use your CLI and daemon to work. Would be really nice if you supported Tailscale.
Also take a look at Zedra[1]. It's similar to yours and powered by Iroh[2] which will replace the need for Tailscale.

Just yesterday I needed this and resorted to running the harness in a sprite[0] in a proot distro[1] in termux: while I appreciated the symbolism of recurrence, it was a pain to set up. Will have a look.

Looks really promising! I find the claude mobile app a bit lacking ie. slash commands missing (compacting or clearing etc.) Some feedback and questions:
- When I chat via the shellular app, I don't see the messages appear in my terminal. Is that expected? Using cmux fwiw.
- I'm using a Fable agent but the app is showing Opus. Have I been silently downgraded? Both CC and ccstatusline are showing Fable.
- On the home screen it seems to show my agents as well as sub-agents under active sessions whereas under the agents tab I only see what appears to be the main agents. Would be nice for this to be consistent across the screens as well as having a toggle to show/hide sub-agents.
- Loading the sub-agent doesn't bring up any chat history. Would be cool to see how the subagent is working.
- When I re-opened the app after about an hour of having it closed, it wasn't able to reconnect. I did update the mobile app in between so maybe that caused an issue.

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

I had a look at this and I would plan to use this once launched to the public if the price point is good. I think other ai devs who work often on the move might find it interesting too. I haven’t tested it though, if all the plugins work in Claude code for example, or if any friction setting up new ones.
