Anthropic Updates Claude with Code Remote Control Feature
Anthropic has released a major update for Claude Max subscribers: Claude Code now officially features "Remote Control." This functionality lets developers begin a coding task in their computer terminal and then seamlessly take over the entire session from their phone or tablet, enabling genuine "code anywhere" flexibility.

Core Innovation: Local Execution with Mobile Control, Zero Context Loss
Users simply type /remote-control (or /rc) in an active Claude Code terminal. The system generates a unique session link and QR code. Scanning the code connects you directly via the official Claude iOS/Android app or browser (claude.ai/code).
Critically, all computation and file operations remain on your local machine; your phone acts purely as a remote interface. Your complete context, file system access, custom skills, and MCP servers are preserved without uploading projects to the cloud, striking an ideal balance between privacy and productivity.
Solving Real Developer Pain Points
- Continue debugging from your sofa
- Monitor long-running tasks during meetings
- Issue new instructions via voice or text while on a walk
- Pair with a server for a "24/7 AI programming assistant"
This feature is currently in Research Preview, first available to Max plan users, with Pro access coming soon. Official documentation has been updated with detailed connection steps and notes.
Community reaction suggests this could be one of 2026's most practical coding advancements.
Developers note this goes beyond merely "viewing code on a phone" to genuinely bridge desktop and mobile workflows. It's particularly valuable for engineers who context-switch frequently or prefer "vibe coding." Compared to purely cloud-based solutions, this local-plus-remote hybrid model offers superior security and flexibility.
How to Try It Now
1. Ensure Claude Code is updated to the latest version (run `claude update`)
2. Start or enter an existing Claude Code session in your terminal
3. Type `/remote-control` to generate a connection
4. Scan the QR code with the Claude app on your phone to connect
Anthropic continues to evolve the Claude Code toolset. The launch of Remote Control further cements its leadership in the AI programming agent space. For full details, visit the official documentation: code.claude.com/docs/remote-control.
