Hyo on mobile

Hyo runs on your phone as well as your desktop. It’s the same plugin — you install it once, and it behaves differently depending on the device.

On a laptop, Hyo runs Claude Code directly on that machine. A phone can’t run Claude Code, so mobile Hyo works a different way: it’s a thin client that talks back to Claude Code on your Mac over your private Tailscale network. Your Mac does the work; your phone is the window into it.

  • Hyo installed on your Mac, working normally.
  • Your Mac left on and Obsidian open while you want to use your phone. The phone reaches Claude Code through your Mac, so the Mac has to be awake.
  • Tailscale — a free, private network app — on both your Mac and your phone. This is what lets your phone reach your Mac securely, without exposing anything to the public internet.

Everything you get on desktop is there: your conversations, tabs, voice mode, and the agent, model and permission controls (tucked behind the chip in the message bar to fit a phone screen). Conversations are shared — start something on your Mac, pick it up on your phone.

The setup takes about ten minutes and you only do it once. The next page walks you through it.
