Use Remote Control with Push Notifications

Remote Control connects a Claude Code session running on your machine to claude.ai/code in a browser and to the Claude mobile app, so you can monitor or steer it from another device.

It is most useful when a task may take several minutes and you do not want to watch the terminal.

Recommended settings

{
  "agentPushNotifEnabled": true,
  "inputNeededNotifEnabled": true
}

These two settings are not the whole setup. Notifications are only sent while Remote Control is connected, and it does not connect on its own. You also need:

The Claude mobile app, signed in to the same account, with OS notifications allowed.
An active connection: run /remote-control in the session, launch with claude --remote-control, or set "remoteControlAtStartup": true so every session connects.

Remote Control is unavailable when DISABLE_TELEMETRY, DO_NOT_TRACK, CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC, or DISABLE_GROWTHBOOK is set. See troubleshooting.

When to use it

Large refactors
Test runs
Dependency upgrades
Debugging sessions
Repository analysis
Long implementation tasks

Typical workflow

Start a long Claude Code task and connect it with /remote-control.
Leave the computer.
Get a notification when Claude finishes or needs input.
Respond remotely or return to the terminal.
