TextMyWorker

Claude Code To Go: text or voice-note your Claude Code from WhatsApp. It works on your computer (Mac or Windows) while you're out, and reports back.

Early access: https://textmyworker.com

Install

Once you're in, the bot sends you one line. Paste it in a terminal:

# Mac (Terminal)
curl -fsSL "https://relay.textmyworker.com/install" | bash

# Windows (PowerShell or Command Prompt): saves the installer to a file and runs it
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm 'https://relay.textmyworker.com/install.ps1' -OutFile ([IO.Path]::GetTempPath()+'textmyworker-install.ps1'); & ([IO.Path]::GetTempPath()+'textmyworker-install.ps1')"

It puts a private Node.js (and on Windows a private Git) in ~/.textmyworker, with no admin rights, then opens a setup window: it installs Claude Code if needed, signs you in, lets you pick the folder, and shows a QR code. Scan it, press Send in WhatsApp, and you're connected. Something stopped halfway? Run the same line again. No screen (SSH)? npx textmyworker connect does the same in the terminal.

Your worker only gets the keys you hand it

No MCP. No plugin. Just WhatsApp: we don't plug into your accounts.

• Full access, one project, or just try it. At setup you choose: Full access (works like your own Claude Code: your projects and tools, after you confirm), one project folder, or a small sample project to try. With one project, file tools can't reach outside it, and on a Mac terminal commands also run in Claude Code's macOS sandbox (on Windows there is no system sandbox, see below). Full access has no folder fence or sandbox on either: there, your ✅ is the protection.
• A clean profile. No MCP servers, connectors, skills or settings of yours unless you add them.
• Risky actions wait for you. Deleting, git push, deploys and publishing, sending anything out and system commands send you a 🔐 button on WhatsApp first.
• "stop" on WhatsApp stops it. textmyworker pause turns it off until resume.
• A local log of every action: textmyworker log. It never leaves your computer.

Commands

The install line adds a textmyworker command (in ~/.local/bin) that works in any new terminal window. It runs the CLI with the private Node, which also goes at the end of your PATH, so a Node of your own always comes first and an older npx textmyworker ... line keeps working.

textmyworker scope                      what the worker can use
textmyworker scope add <folder>         level 2: more project folders (scope remove <folder>)
textmyworker scope all                  level 3: your whole computer + your tools (asks you to confirm)
textmyworker scope safe | full          one folder with approvals / back to full access
textmyworker scope reset                back to one folder (also /scope reset on WhatsApp)
textmyworker scope domain add <domain>  let terminal commands reach another domain
textmyworker tools                      how to give it a specific MCP tool
textmyworker pause | resume
textmyworker log
textmyworker update                     latest version, stays connected
textmyworker link whatsapp [--primary]  also text this worker on WhatsApp (one-time code, 24 hours)
textmyworker link telegram | slack      also text it on Telegram / Slack
textmyworker primary whatsapp|telegram  where updates, approvals and summaries go

Access is widened only from your computer's terminal, never from WhatsApp.

Windows

Works on Windows 10 and 11. The install line brings everything it needs (Node, Git for Windows, Claude Code), without admin rights.

• The install line adds the textmyworker command (%USERPROFILE%\.local\bin\textmyworker.cmd) and puts it and the private Node at the end of your user PATH, no admin needed. Open a new PowerShell or Command Prompt window to use it. Installed before this? & "$HOME\.textmyworker\node\npx.cmd" textmyworker ... in PowerShell works anyway.
• The worker starts when you sign in to Windows (a TextMyWorker entry under your user's startup items, no admin needed), and keeps the PC awake while it runs.
• No system sandbox on Windows. Claude Code's sandbox exists only on Mac and Linux. On Windows your protection is the folder limit (file tools), blocked secrets (SSH keys, cloud credentials, browser data, the Windows credential store) and your ✅ on WhatsApp before anything risky. A terminal command can still write outside the folder, so pick a folder you're comfortable with, and keep approvals on.

Connected before 0.2? update changes nothing about access: full access and your own tools stay. textmyworker scope safe switches to one folder with approvals.
