Claude Code from Your Phone App

Claude Code from your phone. Connect to a VPS over SSH — or run locally in Docker. Full permissions, streaming responses, tool use, and session manage…

In plain English

Maude lets someone run Claude Code, an AI helper that writes code, from a phone. They can connect to a computer they rent online, or run the helper privately on their own machine. Replies appear as they are written, the helper can use tools, sessions can be managed, and it can be allowed wide permission to act. Builders pay a subscription after a free trial because they want that helper in a pocket, not only at a desk. The AI does most of the coding help, the phone store handles the subscription, and the person running Maude still checks quality, supports users, and shares the app.
