Problem Statement

Claude Code sessions started on desktop are not accessible via mobile app or mobile browser.
I would like the ability to view and continue Code sessions from mobile, started on desktop.

Proposed Solution

Claude Code sessions should be linkable to the repository's CLAUDE.md file. Since CLAUDE.md already serves as the context anchor for a project, it could also act as the identifier that groups all sessions for that repo under one entry in the user's claude.ai account accessible from any device.

Alternative Solutions

Use the repo URL as an identifier to group all sessions for the same project under one entry in the user's claude.ai account. CLAUDE.md could serve as the display name and context summary for that entry.

Use Case Example

A developer starts a Claude Code session on their desktop to work on a project. Later they're away from their PC and want to check what was discussed or continue the conversation from their phone. Currently this is impossible, the session is stuck on the desktop. With repo-based sync they'd open claude.ai on mobile, see their project entry, and pick up where they left off.

Additional Context

Sessions already contain valuable project context, decisions made, code discussed, plans approved. Losing access when switching devices creates friction and forces users to either stay at their desk or repeat themselves in a new session.

Strong +1. CLAUDE.md carries critical project rules — super-user access patterns, deploy sequences, stability protocols. Having those sync automatically so any device (or resuming session) picks them up without manual re-loading would remove a major source of context drift when switching between machines.

You can already continue a desktop Claude Code session from your phone or another browser with Remote Control. Start Claude Code with claude remote-control, or run /remote-control (alias /rc) inside an existing session, then open the session from claude.ai/code or the Claude iOS/Android app. The session keeps running on your machine and stays in sync across every connected device, so you can send messages from the terminal, browser, and phone interchangeably.
