The Problem

You’re deep in a Claude Code session. It’s working through a complex task.
But you need to step away—grab coffee, take a call, pick up kids.
What do you do? Leave it running and hope nothing goes wrong?

The Solution: Claw

I built Claw (CLaude AnyWhere) – a zero‑dependency Python tool.

Features

  • 👀 Live terminal view – see what Claude is doing in real‑time
  • Quick actions – tap yes, no, continue, or Ctrl+C
  • 📱 Mobile‑first – designed for phones with pull‑to‑refresh
  • 🌐 Access anywhere--share flag creates an instant public URL

Quick Start

# Install
pip install claw-cli

# Run with remote access
claw --share

That’s it. Open the URL on your phone. You’re in control.

How It Works

Claw is a lightweight HTTP server that:

  1. Captures tmux pane content in real‑time
  2. Sends keystrokes via tmux send-keys
  3. Serves a mobile‑optimized dashboard

No dependencies beyond the Python standard library. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (WSL).
