The remote-control command (or feature) is not available despite having an active Claude Pro subscription. There is no clear indication in the docs or UI about why Pro accounts are excluded, or what tier is required.

What Should Happen?

The remote-control command should be accessible to Pro users, or the docs should clearly state which plan is required.

I think it's because they've rolled it out to the max plan users now

I'm also experiencing this issue on a Pro plan.

Environment:

  • OS: macOS
  • Claude Code: latest version

I've tried logging out and re-authenticating, as well as running claude doctor with no issues detected, but the problem persists.

Any hints on when this will be available for Pro accounts? The docs suggest it will be when the feature is stable enough.
