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.
