Claude Code Remote Control

Feature that lets users drive a running Claude Code session from a phone, tablet, or browser via a QR code or URL. The host machine and terminal must stay awake and connected; nothing moves to the cloud. Available on Pro and Max subscription plans only (no API keys, no team or enterprise at launch). Best for continuing a conversation from anywhere, not for starting fresh sessions remotely.

Key points

  • Launched via claude remote-control command or /remote-control in an existing session
  • Connection via QR code or direct session URL (private — URL grants full access)
  • Host machine, terminal, and internet must stay connected — sleep is OK
  • Pro and Max plans only, no API key authentication, no team/enterprise at launch
  • Cannot start new sessions from mobile — only steer running ones
  • Phone is a thin client; files and execution stay local
  • Disconnects after ~10 minutes without connection
