have you gotten a terminal interface on your phone to be acceptably usable? I haven't - not without a real keyboard attached in any case. too many parts of the UX are designed for a true keyboard.

I’ve had decent luck with Termius because it gives you a row of keyboard shortcuts above the usual keyboard. Still cramped, but it works.

Tmux is annoying with a mobile keyboard, so I vibe coded a little mobile-friendly wrapper https://github.com/zakandrewking/pocketbot

Someone is going to solve this with a non-buggy app, but it really needs to have all the features of Claude code. Everyone is a power user in this segment

I used connectbot on android and it worked fine for me, the new 'terminal' with debian also worked well

take a look at opencode, it doesn't even have to be a terminal anymore to command your terminal from whatever device you are using
