A practical comparison of Telegram/Slack bots vs browser UIs vs phone-first dashboards, and a workflow for approvals + follow-ups that doesn’t require SSH.

Find provider-native sessions, open them from your phone, then decide whether to keep them provider-backed or import them for longer-term continuity.

A practical way to stop copy/pasting MCP JSON into three different tools and get one consistent tool surface across providers and machines.

A practical way to identify whether you’re blocked on a real approval, a config mismatch, or a UI/connection issue — and how to keep sessions moving safely.

Fork from a message or from the session tip, keep ancestor context, and use replay when the provider can’t fork natively.

A practical how-to for branching a session at the right point (fork-from-message vs fork-latest), plus what happens to context after the fork.

A practical continuity plan: run sessions where they won’t sleep, use better transports for roaming, and use handoff/queues so you don’t lose work.

A practical workflow for reusable instructions across computers: one source of truth, safe installs, and drift detection when providers expect files on disk.

A practical way to come back later and answer “what changed?” fast: tool timeline, diff jumps, and a turn-end review loop that works on a phone.

A practical setup for running sessions on a stable machine and monitoring them from a phone, with honest trade-offs between cloud UIs, SSH, and phone-first dashboards.

A practical workflow for worktrees, naming, notifications, and “what needs attention” loops so you can run 5–20 sessions without living in tmux.

A practical workflow to detect “waiting for approval” vs “offline” vs “actually running”, using lightweight checks first and a phone-friendly control loop when you have it.

A practical setup for starting Codex (and Codex-backed tools like OpenCode) on any computer while keeping one subscription login, plus the gotchas that still require computer-local setup.

A practical way to approve risky actions on mobile without going full YOLO, using time-bounded access, workflow interrupts, and phone-first approval UIs.

A practical way to send follow-ups from your phone while a session is busy/offline, without dropping messages or creating a second “shadow plan” in notes.

A practical voice workflow for phone-sized moments: when to brainstorm vs dictate, how to keep context, and how to keep voice providers on a privacy leash.
