How does Mention Files While Prompting From Your Phone in 1DevTool compare to Paseo, tmux and Claude Code?

From a phone, people usually prompt an agent through an SSH app such as Termius or Blink, typing file paths by hand on a small keyboard. Paseo: Paseo's composer lets you tag @files and run /commands and /skills, and Paseo says its native iOS and Android apps have feature parity with desktop. tmux: Through a phone SSH client, the agent CLI's own @ file typeahead still works inside tmux, drawn at the terminal window's width. Claude Code: Claude Code's Remote Control opens a local session in the Claude mobile app or claude.ai/code, so you can message that session from a phone. 1DevTool: Typing @ on the phone opens a file typeahead that filters the project as you type, and a file picker sheet lets you browse or search before inserting an exact @path reference.

Mention Files While Prompting From Your Phone

Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Prompting an agent from your phone used to mean typing full paths by hand or settling for a vague instruction the agent has to guess at. Now an @ in the remote terminal pops up a file typeahead that filters your project as you type, so a couple of keystrokes narrow to the file you mean. Prefer to look around first? The full file picker sheet lets you browse or search the whole project and insert a mention from there. Either way the agent receives a precise @path/to/file reference instead of a hand-typed guess — fewer wrong turns, tighter prompts, from the couch.
