Anthropic Launches Remote Control for Claude Code, Letting Developers Access Local Sessions from Any Device
Summary
Anthropic launches Remote Control for Claude Code, enabling developers to access and continue local coding sessions from any device — including phones and tablets — while keeping all code execution and tools running securely on their local machine, with enterprise-grade security options available for Team and Enterprise plan users.
Key Points
- Remote Control allows developers to continue local Claude Code sessions from any device — including phones, tablets, and browsers — while keeping all code execution, filesystem access, MCP servers, and tools running on their local machine.
- Sessions can be started via CLI server mode, interactive flag, or the VS Code extension, and connected devices stay fully in sync with the terminal, supporting real-time message exchange, subagent monitoring, file attachments, and automatic reconnection after network interruptions.
- Enterprise and Team plan organizations can enforce additional security through the Trusted Devices feature, which requires members to enroll each device and verify identity via biometrics before accessing Remote Control sessions, while owners control Remote Control availability through admin settings.
