Remote Control - Continue local sessions from any device

Remote Control allows users to continue local sessions from any device, providing flexibility and convenience. By connecting to a Claude Code session running on a local machine, users can seamlessly switch between devices, maintaining access to their full local environment. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who need to work on the go, ensuring that their workflow remains uninterrupted.

1. Seamless Device Transition

   Users can start a task on their desktop and continue it on their mobile device or another computer without losing any progress.

2. Local Environment Access

   Remote Control maintains access to the local filesystem, tools, and project configurations, allowing users to work with their complete setup remotely.

3. Session Synchronization

   The conversation remains in sync across all connected devices, enabling users to send messages and commands interchangeably from their terminal, browser, or phone.

4. Automatic Reconnection

   If a device goes to sleep or loses network connectivity, the session will automatically reconnect once the device is back online.

5. Session Management

   Users can start new sessions or connect to existing ones easily, with options to rename sessions for better organization.

6. Security Features

   Remote Control sessions use outbound HTTPS requests and do not open inbound ports, ensuring a secure connection while interacting with local resources.

1. Ensure you have a Max plan subscription to use Remote Control.
2. Start a Remote Control session by navigating to your project directory and running the command claude remote-control.
3. Use the displayed session URL or QR code to connect from another device.
4. To enable Remote Control for all sessions, run /config inside Claude Code and set the option to true.

1. Remote Control effectively enhances productivity by allowing users to switch devices without losing their work, making it a valuable tool for those who work across multiple platforms.
2. The feature's reliance on a single remote session at a time may limit users who need to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
3. Users must keep the terminal open for the session to remain active, which can be inconvenient in certain scenarios.
4. Overall, Remote Control is a powerful feature that could benefit many users, but improvements could be made in terms of session management and multi-device support.
