remote-control: add --name flag for session display name
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 2, 2026 by TKaltofen Closed Mar 30, 2026
Problem
When using claude remote-control, the session name shown in the Claude app (phone/web) is always "Remote control session" with the working directory path. When running multiple remote-control sessions (e.g. one per repo/task), they are hard to distinguish.
Proposed Solution
Add a --name or --label flag to claude remote-control that sets a display name for the session in the Claude app UI.
claude remote-control --name "marketing-assets-013"
Use Case
I launch multiple claude remote-control sessions in tmux windows, each for a different repo/task. On the phone side, they all look the same. A custom name would make it easy to identify which session is which.
