Show HN: Polpo – Control Claude Code (and other agents) from your phone (github.com/pugliatechs)
4 points by marcopennelli 4 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Polpo is an open-source mobile controller for AI coding agents. It runs a lightweight server on your machine and gives you a phone-friendly dashboard to manage sessions, send prompts, approve tool calls, and review plans.

We just released v1.1.0 with support for 5 agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Pi), skills management from the phone (browse/install/remove skills from skills.sh), and the ability to start new sessions without touching the terminal.

The idea started because we wanted to kick off coding tasks from the couch and check on them from the phone. It grew from there.

Built with Node.js, no framework on the frontend, WebSocket for real-time updates. Works on LAN or remotely via tunnel (cloudflared, localtunnel, ngrok, SSH).

Built by PugliaTechs, a non-profit association from Puglia, Italy.

Polpo is exactly the kind of remote cockpit we built for our Claude/LLM agents. A couple of cleanup tricks that helped: keep the sessionId sticky on the phone so a dropped connection just re-subscribes to the existing plan instead of starting a new run, and send a tiny heartbeat on the WebSocket when you tunnel through cloudflared/ngrok so Polpo doesnt think the plan died and re-approves a toolcall. Finally, before the phone sends an approve/reject, hit your servers `/plan/latest` snapshot so you never double-trigger after a network blip.
