Cross-device Remote Control sessions

“Starting a new local Claude Code session from my phone currently requires running claude remote-control (spawn mode) in a terminal and leaving it open.”

What gets counted gets built. Pile on.

Paste this into your agent. It files your request, with what you need it for.

I want this: rapsheet.dev/sheets/claude-code/themes/274/file
Follow it to file my request. Show me the text before you send.

No install. No account. Public and anonymous. The link asks your agent for one report, nothing else. What it sends

Fading. 3 reports and thumbs-up in the last 7 days and 7 the week before, down from 16 a week at the late-September peak. Not fixed, but the vendor replied, Oct 22.

What's included

When I am away from the computer where my projects live, I want to start, follow, steer and later pick up its Claude Code sessions from my phone or another device as fully as at the desk, but today sessions, folders and parts of the session do not reach the other device.
Sessions started on the phone, in the terminal or over SSH that do not appear in the desktop app or agent view on the host, and ended remote sessions that cannot be resumed on their host or another device.
Starting a new local session in any of my project folders from the phone, without a terminal kept open and without a cap on reachable folders.
Scheduled task runs that never connect to Remote Control, so I cannot follow them or get their notifications on the phone.
Parts of a session visible only on the computer, such as the Browser pane and terminal prompt suggestions, when steering from the phone or browser.

Not included

Running sessions in cloud environments tied to a GitHub repository.
Keeping the Remote Control host process connected and signed in across restarts.
Sharing a session with other people.
