Why MobileCLI exists

You kick off Claude Code on a large refactor. You go make coffee. You come back 20 minutes later and discover it's been blocked on a tool approval since minute two.

This happens constantly with AI coding assistants. They're powerful but need a human in the loop. That human doesn't need to be chained to a desk.

MobileCLI streams your terminal to your phone over a network path you control. When your AI assistant asks a question, requests tool access, or finishes a task, you get a push notification. Tap it, read the context, approve or deny, and go back to what you were doing.

The terminal stream is served by a local daemon over WebSocket. Mobile clients pair with auth-v2 QR credentials and then prove possession with a challenge-response handshake before the daemon sends sessions, terminal output, filesystem data, or push-token registration. There is no MobileCLI terminal relay or account system, but push notifications are delivered through Expo's push service, and the daemon should still only be reachable from a trusted LAN, Tailscale network, or protected custom endpoint.
