[Tet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%E1%BA%BFt?ref=nguyenphan.org) holiday in Vietnam is coming, and it is a tradition for people to visit their hometowns. I’m no exception, so here I am in my lovely hometown with my extended family and neighbors.

But here’s the catch. I am an experienced remote developer working for overseas companies, and they don’t celebrate Tet, so I still have to work. Currently, my main development stack is

> Claude Code over SSH from my MacBook Air into my Windows 11 PC with WSL at home. If I need a GUI, I use Chrome Remote Desktop or AnyDesk for better responsiveness.

Claude code over ssh from MacOS terminal

I think that’s what most people do, right? But as you may notice, all of that requires a laptop to be productive and effective.

I want to use my phone because when it's mainly about supervising the AI Agent to work, it's better to use your phone. You don't need a whole laptop for that. I mean it's better to use laptop, but for a specific situation, a phone is better. So I use Termux. I have been using termux for a while for server monitoring stuffs, but I have never been using it to develop. 

I gave [Termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app?ref=nguyenphan.org) a try, I ssh into my PC and launch claude code there, it works surprisingly well, I can talk into my GBoard and it converts into texts and I can command Claude Code that way. But I'm still lazy, I don't want to control too much. I mean I still have to do some manual work there.

Left side is Termux and right side is Happy

Then I remembered [Happy](https://github.com/slopus/happy?ref=nguyenphan.org), a good app to fit in with my stack. I have to do minimal manual work with it. All I have to do is to steer the AI agent through Happy's interface. I don't have to type commands at all. Just natural language and click buttons. And when it needs me, it will pop *a notification,* which helps a lot. 

> Now I can prepare my working environment using my laptop and then I'm free to command my Claude AI Agent to work for me from my phone.

And when I need a GUI for some quick tasks, I can always use[ Chrome Remote Desktop ](https://remotedesktop.google.com/?ref=nguyenphan.org)to control my PC from my phone. This is the most reliable, bug-free way to do it.

Windows 11 PC (Home)  
WSL + Claude Code + Unreal Engine runs here 

MacBook Air 

Terminal / SSH

Chrome Remote Desktop

AnyDesk

Phone 

Termux (SSH)

Happy (agent control)

Chrome Remote Desktop (GUI)

All paths converge to the same execution environment 

The only cost is Claude Code subscription. I don't pay for anything else.

> How about you? What’s your remote development stack? I’d love to hear how you work so we can learn from each other.
