Why it matters
Enable remote control of a local Claude Code session through inbound text messages, allowing whitelisted phone numbers to drive filesystem operations, code execution, and directory navigation from any mobile device.

Overview
TextMe
TextMe is a local daemon from the njerschow/textme repository that bridges inbound iMessages to Claude Code sessions via Sendblue. Whitelisted phone numbers can send text messages, voice notes, and images that drive Claude through filesystem operations, code execution, and directory navigation, turning a phone into a remote control for Claude running on a laptop. Use TextMe when you need mobile access to your local Claude Code session without opening your laptop - checking file contents, triggering builds, or executing commands from your phone. It's the inbound counterpart to sendblue-notify: TextMe handles phone to Claude control, while sendblue-notify handles Claude to phone notifications.
What it does
TextMe is a local daemon that connects inbound iMessages to a Claude Code session running on your machine. Built on the njerschow/textme repository and powered by Sendblue, it lets whitelisted phone numbers send text messages, voice notes, and images to drive filesystem operations, code execution, and directory navigation.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use TextMe when you need to send commands to Claude Code from your phone via iMessage. It's designed for users who want to control their local Claude sessions through their phone.
Do not use TextMe if you need outbound notifications from Claude to your phone; that's the job of sendblue-notify, the complementary pattern where Claude pushes messages to you. Also avoid it if you cannot run a local daemon or lack access to Sendblue for iMessage bridging.
Inputs and outputs
You provide whitelisted phone numbers that are authorized to send commands. From those numbers, you send text messages, voice notes, or images to the daemon. TextMe enables these inputs to drive Claude through filesystem operations, code execution, and cd-based directory navigation.
Integrations
TextMe integrates with Sendblue to bridge iMessages to the local daemon and connects to Claude Code sessions running on the user's machine.
Who it's for
TextMe is built for users who run Claude Code locally and want to control it from their phone via iMessage. If you're already using sendblue-notify for outbound alerts, TextMe completes the loop by adding inbound control - sendblue-notify is Claude to phone, TextMe is phone to Claude.
Source README
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.
