When using remote control via the Claude Android app, Bash command output only appears after the command fully completes. There is no live scrolling of stdout during execution — the UI shows 'pondering' until the command finishes, then dumps all output at once.

Expected behavior

Stdout should stream incrementally during Bash execution, similar to how a terminal streams output in real time.

Why it matters

Remote control is particularly useful for monitoring long-running tasks (health checks, syncs, builds) from a mobile device. Without live streaming, there is no way to see progress — you just wait and hope.

Environment

  • Claude Code remote control via Claude Android app
  • SSH into Mac Mini, running tmux sessions

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by modifying the SSH or tmux configuration to enable live streaming of stdout during Bash command execution.

Guidance

  • Investigate SSH options, such as ControlMaster and ControlPersist, to enable live streaming of stdout.
  • Check tmux configuration to ensure it is not buffering output, and consider using tmux -u to disable buffering.
  • Verify if the Claude Android app has any settings or options to enable live streaming of stdout during remote control sessions.
  • Test the remote control functionality with a different SSH client or terminal emulator to isolate the issue.

Example

No specific code snippet is provided due to the lack of detailed technical information about the Claude Android app and its integration with SSH and tmux.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific versions of SSH, tmux, and the Claude Android app being used. Additional debugging or logging may be necessary to determine the root cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the SSH or tmux configuration to enable live streaming of stdout, as this is likely to be a more feasible and immediate solution than waiting for a potential fix in the Claude Android app.
