CloseCrab · Mobile Remote

Your AI coder, in your pocket.

Step away from the desk without stopping the work. CloseCrab Mobile drives your already-running CloseCrab from any phone — full touch terminal, live thinking bar, and a team leaderboard — over Tailscale, ZeroTier or Cloudflare Tunnel. Your code never leaves your machine.

📟

Touch terminal

A real PTY, finger-friendly. Swipe to scroll, a quick-key bar for ^C / Tab / Esc, and a mobile input box — the full CloseCrab session, not a cut-down view.

🌊

Live thinking bar

Instead of stacks of "Waiting for response…", one calm wave animation shows when CloseCrab is reasoning or running a tool — readable at a glance on a phone.

🏆

Team leaderboard

Team Mode scores, local to your machine and on a cross-host global board. See who's online across the squad in real time.

🎮

9 boot mini-games

While CloseCrab spins up, a random mini-game loads — Snake, Tetris, Pinball, Tank, and more. The wait becomes a break.

🔄

Survives backgrounding

Auto-reconnect handles iOS Safari putting the tab to sleep. Switch apps, come back, your session is right there.

🛰️

Remote control

Start, stop, or kill the backend process from your phone. Check status, launch a fresh session, all without touching the PC.

▌ How it works

Three minutes from desk to pocket.

CloseCrab Mobile is a tiny local service that bridges your phone to the CloseCrab already running on your PC.

1Activate CloseCrab on your PC. The desktop app stores your license — Mobile Remote reuses it, so there's no second login on your phone.
2Run closecrab-web. It verifies this machine's license, then prints a token-protected URL and a Cloudflare tunnel link.
3Open the link on your phone. Tap "New Session" and you're driving CloseCrab — over your private mesh network or the tunnel.
▌ Remote access

Three ways to reach home.

Pick whichever fits your network. All keep traffic private — nothing routes through our servers.

01Recommended

Tailscale

Install on both PC and phone, sign in with the same account. Your devices get a private mesh IP — no port forwarding.

02

ZeroTier

Friendlier inside China. Join both devices to the same network, then reach the PC on its ZeroTier address.

http://<pc-zerotier-ip>:3000
03

Cloudflare Tunnel

Built in. CloseCrab opens a cloudflared tunnel on launch and prints a public URL — open it on any device, no VPN.
