Message Claude from your phone.
It runs on your desktop, touches your files, browses, builds reports, executes tasks. Sandboxed. Local.
You approve before it acts.
One persistent conversation.

The "approve before it acts" approach is key. I've been building with Claude Code for months and the trust model is what makes it actually usable — knowing you can review before anything runs.
One thing I'd love to see is persistent context between dispatch sessions. Right now the biggest friction with AI tools is re-explaining context every time you start a new session. If Dispatch could remember what you were working on yesterday, that'd be a huge unlock.

Congrats Team!!!
Love this direction. Most “remote control” AI flows still feel like toys; this is basically a reliable way to queue serious work against your real environment while you’re away. The desktop‑first, sandboxed approach seems much saner than a sprawling cloud automation marketplace.
One question from a builder’s perspective: do you see an eventual API or hooks so other tools can trigger Dispatch jobs programmatically (e.g., from a CI event or calendar trigger), or is the vision for now to keep it human‑in‑the‑loop via chat only?

Does it remember conversation history between texts?
I can't wait to try it but I don't see it on my Android phone. When will Android be supported?

the "approve before it acts" thing sounds safe until you realize youre approving from a phone screen with zero context. nobody is carefully reading diffs on mobile, youre just tapping yes. at that point the approval step is security theater not a safety mechanism
