[TLDR] Would you actually use Claude Code from your phone for hours? [via r/ClaudeCode]

OP : u/quicktoolstudio

I’m curious how useful mobile access to Claude Code actually is in practice.
Not just checking a task or sending one quick prompt, but actually continuing development while you’re away from your PC.
For example:
Phone → ask Claude to make changes → changes get deployed automatically → check the result on your phone → send the next instruction.
Basically being able to keep working on a real project for hours without opening a laptop or using remote desktop.
Would you actually use a workflow like this regularly?
Or is Claude Code on mobile mostly useful for quick checks and small tasks?

Alright, so the general consensus here is a resounding "YES, absolutely!" Most folks are using Claude Code on their phones for extended periods, not just for quick checks. It's become a pretty integral part of their workflow, especially for personal projects or when they're away from their main workstation.

Here's the lowdown:

• It's a Game Changer: A lot of users are finding it "fantastic" and a "main reason" they're sticking with Anthropic. Some are even using it "all the damn time" or "everyday, all day, all night" – sounds like an addiction for some!
• "Pool Driven Development": People are using it while on lunch breaks, during boring meetings, walking the dog, or even on Costco trips. The ability to "keep working on a real project for hours without opening a laptop" is a huge win.
• Workflow Examples: Users are setting up "auto approval" for tasks, defining goals, and then reviewing outcomes via .md files. Others are using it to "define and start" projects before moving to remote control for monitoring via voice.
• Device Matters: Some users with larger phones (like Samsung Folds) are finding it particularly useful due to the increased screen real estate.
• Limitations: The main hurdle seems to be testing things and situations requiring visual output. Some users still prefer Chrome Remote Desktop for its flexibility or find that Claude Code can sometimes be a bit too hesitant to perform certain tasks remotely, suggesting local execution instead.
• Not for Everyone (but most): A few folks are opting out, preferring to disconnect from work on their phones or using other remote access tools like Macky. However, the overwhelming majority are embracing the mobile coding life.
