Remote sessions require local access to enable - no way to take control purely remotely
What I'm trying to do
I run several concurrent Claude Code sessions on my desktop (multiple git
worktrees, one branch each). When I leave home I want to keep coordinating
and finishing that work from my phone / another machine.
Problem
There doesn't seem to be a way to enable remote control of a running local
session without first being at the local machine. A "remote session" has
little value if local presence is a prerequisite to turn it on. I asked my
running session to enable remote control and there is no in-conversation way
to do it - it appears to require local setup on the host.
What I expected
To pair with / take over an existing local session from the authenticated
mobile app or web (claude.ai/code) without returning to the host to toggle
anything.
Suggestion
- Let me enable remote control / handoff of a running local session from the
signed-in mobile or web app.
- Or a one-time, persistent opt-in so remote takeover keeps working after I
leave, without re-enabling it locally.
Environment
- Claude Code on Windows 10 desktop.
- Multiple local sessions via git worktrees.
