Remote Control extends Claude Code to the mobile app

"Start local sessions from the terminal, then continue them from your phone. Take a walk, see the sun, walk your dog without losing your flow. Remote Control sessions run directly on the end user's machine. The web and mobile interfaces are just a window into that local session. So you retain full control over where your code runs and how it is processed."

"A local Claude Code session continues to run on your machine, even during Remote Control. Nothing moves to the cloud. The user's entire local environment remains available: file system, MCP servers, tools, and project configuration. Conversations automatically sync across all connected devices, allowing you to switch seamlessly between terminal, browser, and mobile app."

"If someone's laptop goes into sleep mode or the network goes down, the session automatically reconnects as soon as the developer's device comes back online. Users must first log in via /login in the claude tool and accept workspace trust for the project directory. Only then can developers activate Remote Control with /remote-control."

Anthropic has launched Remote Control for Claude Code as a research preview for Pro and Max subscribers. This feature allows developers to start coding sessions locally on their machine and seamlessly continue them from mobile devices or browsers. The entire local environment—including file system, MCP servers, tools, and project configuration—remains accessible and available. All conversations automatically sync across connected devices, enabling smooth transitions between terminal, browser, and mobile interfaces. Sessions automatically reconnect when devices wake or networks restore. Unlike cloud-based Claude Code, Remote Control runs entirely on the user's local machine, with web and mobile interfaces serving only as windows into that session. This approach ensures developers retain complete control over code execution and processing.
