Remote control: approve sessions from your phone

Use Claude Code remote control to keep long tasks moving when you are away from your desk.

Claude usage is calculated in 5-hour windows. If Claude Code pauses for a permission prompt while you are away, those hours are wasted. Remote Control lets you monitor and approve sessions from your phone or any browser via claude.ai/code or the Claude mobile app (iOS, Android).

/remote-control

Or start a new session with: claude --remote-control

My workflow. Before leaving the office, I start a long task with /remote-control. On the train home, I check my phone, approve prompts, and review progress. If I know what comes next, I start a second session — when session one completes, I pick up session two from my phone. See the official documentation for details.
