PUNK
Mobile remote control for local Claude Code AI agents.
Overview
What is PUNK?
PUNK is a remote control application designed specifically for Claude Code running on a laptop. It allows users to interact with their local AI agents from their mobile phones, effectively turning the laptop into a 'mainframe' and the phone into a portable 'terminal.' PUNK enables developers to monitor sessions, approve or deny tool calls, and provide instructions via text or voice while away from their desks. The system uses a secure relay model, ensuring that prompts and responses are not stored in a persistent database and that the laptop remains secure by only using outbound connections.
