Take Your Terminal Anywhere with Claude Code Remote Control

Ever start a coding or automation session at your desk, step away, and wish you could seamlessly pick up right where you left off from your phone or laptop?

With Claude Code Remote Control, you can connect Claude Code Web or the mobile app directly to an active session running on your local machine—allowing you to stay in the flow, no matter where you are.

How It Works

Everything continues to run locally on your primary machine: your file system, MCP servers, configurations, and tools remain intact. Nothing migrates to the cloud, but your conversation stays perfectly in sync in real time across all your devices.

1. Starting a New Session Remotely

• Open your terminal in your project directory and run:

  Bash

  claude remote control
  

• This displays a direct web URL to connect via Claude Code Web.

• Press the Spacebar to display a QR code you can scan with your phone to open the session in your mobile browser or the Claude mobile app.

2. Handoff an Active Session

If you are already in the middle of an active Claude Code session and want to step away from your desk:

• Simply type /remote-control in your terminal to generate the connection URL and access link.

• Tip: Because Claude Code is linked directly to your Claude account, you can also open the mobile app directly without needing to click or scan the link every time.

3. Enable It by Default

If you prefer to have Remote Control active for every session automatically:

• Update your settings via /config to toggle Remote Control on for all future sessions.

Advanced: Spawn Mode for Multi-Session Management

For Max, Team, and Enterprise plan users, Remote Control includes a Spawn Mode that lets you spin up brand-new sessions directly from your remote device:

1. Run claude remote control on your desktop machine.

2. Open Claude Web or the mobile app on your remote device.

3. Tap the Environment button, select your local device, and spawn multiple instances of Claude Code remotely.

Key Takeaway

Whether you're stepping away for a coffee or continuing a long-running workflow from another room, Remote Control gives you the full power of your desktop environment right in the palm of your hand.

Currently rolling out to Pro and Max plan users.
