No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Quiet. No reports and thumbs-up in the last two weeks, down from 10 a week at the late-September peak. Not fixed, but the vendor replied on another request in this theme, Oct 22.

Start new local sessions from the mobile app. Mobile app can only continue sessions already open in Desktop; new ones need a running claude remote-control terminal process.
