Like OP, I use the VPS/SSH/Tailscale combo to run Claude Code from my phone, and I've never felt comfortable with the *Claw alternatives. This one finally made me take the leap. Simple, elegant, I'm having fun running it through Telegram.

Amidst all the ‘claw hype, folks have lost sight of the fact that we already have a high quality, trusted coding agent that with a few lines of code can become proactive, recursively self improving, and is supported by a large dedicated engineering organization who are commercially incentivized to improve it.

Claude Code is all you need.

Well, that and a persistent transport layer that exposes a messaging endpoint you can text from your phone. And that’s bareclaw: just ~1200 LOC of TypeScript and you’re off to the races on the Claude Max plan with no OAuth token theft hijinks.

Antropic's legal team now hates you. xD
