Feature request: Cross-machine session sync/sharing
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 21, 2026 by arousal-takuya Closed Mar 25, 2026
Problem
When developing across multiple machines (e.g., Mac Mini and MacBook Air), Claude Code sessions cannot be carried over because they are stored locally.
Current Limitations
--continue/--resumeonly work within the same machine- Remote Control is a workaround, but doesn't work when offline or when the other machine is asleep
- Syncing the session directory via iCloud/Dropbox is unofficial and risks file conflicts
Proposed Solution
One or more of the following:
- Cloud sync for session data — optionally sync sessions via Anthropic account so they're accessible from any machine
- Session export/import — CLI commands to export a session to a file and import it on another machine (e.g.,
claude --export-session <id>/claude --import-session <file>)
Use Case
Many developers work from multiple machines (desktop at home, laptop on the go). Being able to pick up exactly where you left off on a different machine would significantly improve the workflow.
