Session started/run via mobile app not visible in desktop app or CLI session list

Open 💬 1 comment Opened Jul 5, 2026 by PavelDo

Summary

A Claude Code session created and run today via the mobile app (against a local project repo) does not appear in the desktop app's session list, nor is it discoverable via the CLI-exposed session-management tools (list_sessions, search_session_transcripts, including archived), even though it is confirmed to be a real, current session about that exact repo.

Details

  • Session URL: https://claude.ai/code/session_011ZbqY1EojPHtFUuLQSFTtS
  • Session title: "Second opinion on design usability..."
  • Project: local repo PavelDo/growth-daily-os
  • Same Anthropic account used on mobile and desktop (confirmed, not an account mismatch)
  • Ran today; mobile app shows it under "Today" with status "Disconnected"
  • Session content is verifiably real and about this exact repo — it references PR #46 ("Phase 2 contract"), which matches an actual merged commit in the repo's git history

Expected behavior

A session run against a given local repo (whether initiated from mobile, desktop, or CLI) should be discoverable/resumable across surfaces for the same account — at minimum it should show up in the desktop app's session list for that project.

Actual behavior

  • Not present in the desktop app's session list for the project
  • Not returned by the CLI's list_sessions (including archived) or search_session_transcripts (full-text search across transcripts, including archived) for that project
  • Only accessible by opening the direct session URL in Chrome; shows status "Disconnected" there too

Impact

Work done via mobile is effectively stranded — invisible to, and non-resumable from, the desktop app and CLI, with no indication to the user of why or how to reconnect it.
