Remote control
Continue a Claude chat from your phone or browser while it keeps running on your Mac.
How it works#
Remote control lets you carry on a Claude chat from your phone or a browser. The chat does not move: it keeps running on your Mac with your files and tools, and your phone becomes another window into it.
- History shows on both sides.
- Messages from either side stay in sync.
- Approval requests appear on both the Mac and the other device.
- Your Mac must stay on and awake.
Connect a chat#
- 1In a Claude chat, run /remote-control, or click Claude Remote Control in the chat header and choose Enable.
- 2Open the chat in a browser from the banner above the message box, or pick it up in the Claude mobile app.
- 3Run the command again, or choose Disconnect, to stop.
