Mobile-First Development: Running Claude Code AI Agents from iPhone with Cloud VM
By

Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
The article describes a mobile-first development setup where the author runs six Claude Code AI agents in parallel from their iPhone using Termius and a cloud VM. The system uses a Vultr VM in Silicon Valley with Tailscale VPN for secure access, costing approximately $0.29/hour. The workflow enables asynchronous development: the user kicks off tasks from their phone, receives push notifications when Claude needs input, and can continue with other activities while the AI agents work. The setup eliminates the need for a laptop or desktop, allowing development from anywhere with just a mobile device.
