I’ve been doing this with a tmux tunnel and an app on my laptop that connects sessions you select to a virtual terminal using sockets. I asked Claude to build it and it works great - full terminal functionality and Markdown review with comments so you don’t need to cross your eyes to review plans.

Excited to see how this matures so people without that inclination can also be constantly pestered by the nagging idea that someone, somewhere is being more productive than them :)

One more step closer to a closed source system. I think their objective is to move all your code on their systems so you can only modify the code through their AI so they have a moat and will be difficult to move away. They will “guard” your source code and you’ll never see it.

Imagine if tomorrow they make a 10x smarter AI, but they say: you can only use if you upload your source code to us and you can’t see anymore the source code.

So you either stay on lower end models or you give up and use a 10x model.

I only see one issue: will be very difficult for them to “guard” the source code and don’t let you access.

Could I not achieve this with a ssh client on my android, and use regular Claude code remotely that way? Or am I missing something?

I don't get it, just ssh?

Boggles my mind that this is actually a thing that still needs to be solved. Just remote into your computer (I prefer TeamViewer). That is it. One step.

Does anyone know if it caffeinates automatically? I sometimes see caffeinate appear in the terminal tab title so clearly they are using it, but I’m just curious if I have to run caffeinate separately if, for instance, the agent finishes its task and is waiting for a new one and I want to keep it alive.

Small UX note: the first time you run the command it only shows a URL. It's not until you run it again that you discover it also generates a QR code, which is actually the fastest way to open it on your phone. Would be nice if the QR showed up on the first run too, almost missed it.

> Unlike Claude Code on the web, which runs on cloud infrastructure, Remote Control sessions run directly on your machine and interact with your local filesystem. The web and mobile interfaces are just a window into that local session.

For the vibe'y workflows, this would easily solve parallel long running work without skipping permissions: schedule 10 different tasks and go for a run. Occasionally review what the hallucination machine wants to do, smash yes a few times, occasionally tell it not to be silly, have a nice run. Essentially, solving remote development, though perhaps not quite in the way how people usually think of it.

> One remote session at a time: each Claude Code session supports one remote connection.

Hmm. Give it 1-12 months.

SSH app on your phone + Tailscale is already a much better experience.

I really don't want to trust an AI company with a remote access door on my setup
