Coding from my phone on the bus — powered by a Mac mini at home
Lately, I ve been coding during my bus rides using Codex and Claude Code on my phone. Both connect remotely to the Mac mini sitting at home, so I can ask the agents to implement features, inspect errors, run tests, or make small fixes without opening a laptop. It s obviously not ideal for long manual coding sessions, but for reviewing changes and directing AI agents, mobile works surprisingly well. The Mac mini feels perfect for this setup. It s quiet, power-efficient, and can stay online 24/7 without me worrying too much about electricity or heat. Basically, it has become my personal remote development server. I can start a task while waiting for the bus, check the result during the ride, and often have a finished change ready before I arrive. Has anyone else built a similar mobile coding workflow? What tools do you use to connect to your machine at home?
