This is ClawTab on iPhone. Let's check an existing coding session, read its output, and send a follow-up message. Start in the agents list. The list groups agents by workspace, so we can find the session we want. Each row identifies an agent and its current task. We'll open the portrait scrolling review. The terminal opens with the agent's existing conversation. Drag downward to read earlier output, then move back toward the latest lines. A quick swipe carries the view farther, so you can scan a longer answer without opening another screen. Here, the agent has reviewed terminal scrolling and keyboard behavior. The text and formatting come from that running session. Now rotate the phone to landscape. ClawTab places the agents list beside the terminal. The current session remains selected, and its row is brought into view. This lets us keep reading while seeing the other sessions available on the connected machine. The sidebar scrolls independently from the terminal. We can browse groups and locate another agent while the current output stays visible on the right. This is useful when several sessions are working on different parts of a project. Let's move through the list and find the landscape layout review. Tap that agent to open its terminal in the same space. The selected row changes, and the sidebar keeps its position. We can compare the two reviews without returning to the top of the list. This session has already discussed safe areas, pane sizing, rotation, and the keyboard. For longer lines, use the zoom button above the terminal. It hides the sidebar and gives the shell the full landscape width. The same session stays open. The toolbar controls remain inside the phone's safe area, clear of the display cutout. With more horizontal space, wide output needs less wrapping. Scroll back through the review, pause on the details, then return toward the prompt. This view is useful for code, tables, and longer diagnostic lines. Zoom changes how much space the terminal receives; it doesn't change the text size. Rotate back to portrait. ClawTab keeps the agent we were using open in the single terminal view. Tap the prompt to bring up the keyboard. The terminal moves above it, with the extra terminal controls just above the keys. Let's ask for a short follow-up: summarize the landscape and portrait checks. The message appears in the agent's own input area as we type. This is the existing terminal session, so the agent has the earlier discussion available when it answers. Press Return to send the message, and watch the agent start responding. New output arrives through the live terminal connection. The agent continues on its host machine while we read and interact from the phone. In this walkthrough, we browsed sessions, read earlier output, switched agents in split view, expanded the terminal, and sent a follow-up. The session stays available when we move between portrait and landscape.
