Shellular
Shellular is the remote control for your entire development environment, running natively on your own machine — Mac, PC, Mac mini, or VPS. It gives you persistent terminals, filesystem access, old and new agent sessions, and remote localhost access without configuring port forwarding. You can tell Claude to make a change, run the dev server from the terminal, and view the output of your localhost from anywhere in the world. Everything stays on your machine so coding agents retain full context of your codebase, and the connection is end-to-end encrypted. It is not just a mobile chat UI for coding agents; it is a complete remote dev environment with browser DevTools support.
