Choose Hako when…
You use Claude Code alongside Codex, Gemini or other agents, and want one list across your Macs. Open a real terminal, switch projects and answer agents from the Lock Screen without moving them out of herdr.
Which one fits your work?
We make Hako. Here’s why you might choose it, and why you might choose Claude Code Remote Control.

Your workflow centers on Claude Code and you already have an eligible Claude subscription. Continue the conversation in the Claude app, send attachments and receive push notifications, without setting up SSH or Tailscale.

Hako’s agent workflow needs herdr and Terminal Bridge on your Macs, with Tailscale for access from your phone. Without herdr, it’s a plain SSH and Mosh terminal for Mac and Linux. See Hako’s setup and FAQ.
