Problem Statement

## Problem

Claude Code currently runs only as a local CLI tool. When working away from
the primary machine (e.g., on an iPad, phone, or secondary computer), there
is no official way to access or continue a Claude Code session remotely.

The workaround (SSH + tmux + VPN) works but requires significant setup and
is not accessible to less technical users.

Proposed Solution

## Proposed Solution

An official remote access option, such as one or more of the following:

  • Claude Code web interface: A browser-accessible UI that connects to a

running Claude Code session on the host machine

  • Session sharing / remote attach: Ability to attach to an existing

Claude Code session from another device

  • Claude Code server mode: A lightweight local server that exposes a

secure, authenticated web UI for remote use

## Use Case

  • Working from iPad or tablet while away from desk
  • Monitoring long-running tasks (background agents) from a mobile device
  • Pair programming or reviewing Claude Code output from a secondary device

## Expected Behavior

User starts Claude Code on their Mac, and can securely connect to and
interact with that session from any browser or device on the same network
(or via authenticated tunnel).

## Additional Context

This is especially valuable as Claude Code supports long-running background
agents — being able to check in on these remotely is a natural need.
