I would like to find a good way to use coding agents like claude or codex to code from my (Android) phone. But I can't find any tools that work.

What I tried:

An ssh terminal app on my phone. This works, but a TUI interface is far from what I would call "comfortable" on a mobile phone.

Happy Coder (happy.engineering) promises to be the solution but I found it rarely works reliably, it can't deal with claude's new question format and (judging from issues and discussions) seems a bit abandoned.

Ideally I would want something selfhosted with a mobile optimized web interface that let's me start different coding sessions (bonus points if each session runs in its own docker container). Important would be that I am not just being dropped into a console but that the interface is actually optimized for phone use.

What are you using to control coding agents on the go? Did I miss an obvious choice?
