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.
