textme

TextMe

Overview

njerschow/textme is a local daemon that bridges inbound iMessages (via Sendblue) to a Claude Code session on the user's machine. Whitelisted phone numbers can text, send voice notes, send images, and drive Claude through filesystem operations, code execution, and cd-based directory navigation — turning the user's phone into a remote control for Claude on their laptop. This is the inbound counterpart to outbound notification patterns ([[sendblue-notify]]): textme is phone → Claude; sendblue-notify is Claude → phone.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when the user says "text Claude", "text my laptop", "drive Claude from my phone", "I want to send iMessages to Claude", or "let me code from my phone".
• Use when the user is heads-down away from their desk and wants to kick off, supervise, or interrupt a Claude session via SMS/iMessage.
• Use when setting up a long-running headless workstation that the user wants to remote-control while travelling or away from the keyboard.
• Pair with [[sendblue-notify]] for bidirectional flow — outbound completion pings + inbound commands on the same Sendblue account.
• Do not use for outbound-only "text me when X finishes" patterns. That is [[sendblue-notify]] and does not need a daemon.
