Remote Control enables users to continue local Claude Code sessions from any device, allowing them to start work on their computer and seamlessly transition to mobile devices or other browsers. The product maintains the local execution environment while providing remote access capabilities through web and mobile interfaces.
Key features include using your full local environment remotely with filesystem access, MCP servers, tools, and project configuration remaining available. The system allows working from multiple surfaces simultaneously with synchronized conversations across all connected devices, enabling message sending from terminal, browser, and phone interchangeably. Remote Control automatically reconnects sessions when machines come back online after network drops or laptop sleep interruptions.
The technology works by having the local Claude Code session make outbound HTTPS requests only without opening inbound ports on your machine. When Remote Control starts, it registers with the Anthropic API and polls for work, with the server routing messages between web/mobile clients and local sessions over streaming connections. All traffic travels through the Anthropic API over TLS encryption using multiple short-lived credentials scoped to single purposes.
Benefits include maintaining local execution advantages while gaining mobility, surviving interruptions through automatic reconnection, and preserving access to local development environments. Use cases involve continuing coding sessions when moving between locations, collaborating across devices, and maintaining workflow continuity during network disruptions.
The product targets developers using Claude Code who need mobility between devices while preserving their local development environment. It integrates with claude.ai/code web interface and Claude mobile apps for iOS and Android, requiring a Max plan subscription with Pro plan support coming soon. Technical details include support for one remote session per Claude Code instance with automatic reconnection capabilities.
