Perhaps you can have a moment's attention like that, but... was it not apparent to everyone that this was going to be launched by the lab imminently?
Similarly, there are a bunch of stories about people's startups being killed by relatively trivial feature launches by OpenAI or Anthropic. And I find myself just super confused why people are chasing the super simple intermediary roles and then presenting as surprised.
It also seems to provide a substantially better experience of claude code, picking up when it is looping and breaking it and restarting, plus handling all the stupid questions claude code asks, hanging on. (Even when started with dangerously I cant be rid of them).
All in all they seem to be a match made in heaven and I strongly suggest you try this.
There's plenty of situations where one doesn't want to stay at the PC for AI to finish its thing. Now we can just go about our life and check in from the phone. IMO great feature. Would've used it many times in the past but didn't want to be bothered with some wrapper around CC that perhaps did it already.
I'm super happy Anthropic finally releases this tool. It's a starting point and I hope they'll improve it. I did a comparison with its features / capabilities here: https://yepanywhere.com/claude-code-remote-control.html
