Roadmap

remote-cli is a beta-candidate, self-hosted project. The roadmap is intentionally practical: keep the complete user journey reliable before adding larger features.

Milestone 1: Private Alpha

Goal: dogfood across a laptop, desktop, and Raspberry Pi.

Done:

• reliable relay startup
• reliable PWA login
• reliable pairing
• clear relay URL docs
• agent foreground run
• successful prompt/stream response
• clear Claude auth/rate-limit/spawn errors
• troubleshooting docs

Milestone 2: Public Beta

Goal: technical users can try it from GitHub without hand-holding.

Required before tagging:

• public README
• license
• security docs
• Docker relay quickstart
• release binaries for agents
• checksums
• basic CI
• basic release workflow
• known limitations documented
• no committed local binaries, DBs, or dependency folders
• final smoke test from a clean checkout

Milestone 3: Install Experience

Goal: reduce setup friction.

Partly done:

• release binary workflow
• Linux systemd user service helper
• macOS launchd service helper
• remote-cli service logs

Planned:

• one-line agent installer
• clearer Docker deployment docs
• remote-cli service status

Milestone 4: Reliability

Goal: make failures obvious and recoverable.

Done:

• fail session start if agent is offline
• reject session start if the device is already busy
• show actionable PWA errors
• reconnect/session cleanup behavior
• device delete/revoke

Planned:

• better agent/relay logs
• admin password reset path

Milestone 5: Product Depth

Possible:

• persisted chat history
• better multi-device switching
• project/workdir selection
• richer tool display
• notification support

Milestone 6: Security Hardening

Possible:

• stricter production defaults
• optional origin restrictions
• login rate limiting
• token revocation
• E2E encryption research
• security review

Not In v1

• hosted relay service
• multi-user/team model
• Windows agent support
• attaching to existing Claude TUI sessions
• native mobile app
