Continue a local Claude Code session from your phone, tablet, or any browser using Remote Control. Works with claude.ai/code and the Claude mobile app.

This page covers setup, how to start and connect to sessions, and how Remote Control compares to Claude Code on the web.
Before using Remote Control, confirm that your environment meets these conditions:
