Stop pasting 5,000 lines of logs into Claude. Use a secure context tunnel instead.

The Problem: The "Wall of Text" Friction

We've all been there. You're debugging a nasty crash. You have a 2MB log file. You try to paste it into ChatGPT or Claude.

❌ The UI freezes.
❌ The text gets truncated.
❌ You realize you just pasted your API keys into a cloud chat history.

The Solution: vnsh (Vanish)

I built an open-source tool called vnsh. Think of it as an ephemeral "Dropbox" designed specifically for AI agents.

How it works:

You pipe data in your terminal: cat error.log | vn
It encrypts it locally (AES-256-CBC).
It gives you a secure link.
You give that link to Claude.

Because I built a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for it, Claude can actually "see" inside the encrypted link and read the file directly.

Quick Start

If you are on Mac/Linux (Homebrew):

brew tap raullenchai/vnsh
brew install vnsh

Or via NPM (Node.js):

npm install -g vnsh-cli

The "Magic" Workflow
Next time you have a git diff that is too long to explain:

git diff | vn
# Output: [https://vnsh.dev/v/abc...#k=](https://vnsh.dev/v/abc...#k=)...
Paste that URL to Claude. It stays fast, the server (me) can't read your code, and the data self-destructs in 24 hours.

Self-Hosting
Since it deals with sensitive data, I made it host-blind (the decryption key is in the URL hash fragment, never sent to the server). But if you are paranoid (like me), you can self-host the whole stack on your own Cloudflare account.

Control Claude Code from Your Phone with Claw

The Problem

You're deep in a Claude Code session. It's working through a complex task.

But you need to step away - grab coffee, take a call, pick up kids.

What do you do? Leave it running and hope nothing goes wrong?

## The Solution: Claw

I built Claw (CLaude AnyWhere) - a zero-dependency Python tool that
lets
you monitor and control Claude Code from any device with a browser.

## Features

👀 Live terminal view - see what Claude is doing in real-time
⚡ Quick actions - tap yes, no, continue, or Ctrl+C
📱 Mobile-first - designed for phones with pull-to-refresh
🌐 Access anywhere - --share flag creates instant public URL

## Quick Start


bash
  # Install
  pip install claw-cli

  # Run with remote access
  claw --share

  That's it. Open the URL on your phone. You're in control.

  How It Works

  Claw is a lightweight HTTP server that:
  1. Captures tmux pane content in real-time
  2. Sends keystrokes via tmux send-keys
  3. Serves a mobile-optimized dashboard

  No dependencies beyond Python stdlib. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
  (WSL).
