There's quite a few AFK solutions that are out there.

The OpenClaw form factor of using a chatbot to orchestrate sessions seems to be working for folks, based on what they're saying atleast.

Simon Willison talks about using Claude Code for Web, which shows up on the phone app to code on the go from his phone. He's got some useful notes on his blog: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/20/claude-code-for-web/

My 2 cents: Try the OOTB options to get a feel for the ergonomics that suit you best, then vibe code something that works for you.

The only ones I know of require you to be in front of your computer still. When yo say "minimize screen time," I assume you're not wanting to be in front of the computer.

Might sound trite, but why not vibe code something to help you here?

cursorless (https://www.cursorless.org/) is basically spoken vim

it isn't for LLMs at all really but if you want to do code editing via voice it seems like it'd be really good for that.
