# Remote Keeper for Claude Code — Reconnect Claude Code sessions > Reconnect Claude Code sessions (iPhone/iPad app by Manuel Duarte.) - Source: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/remote-keeper-for-claude-code/id6829386828 (this page in markdown: same URL + `.md`) - Developer: [Manuel Duarte](https://appshunter.io/developer/1235112247) - Category: Developer Tools, Productivity - Price: Free - Age rating: 4+ - Requires: iOS 17.0 · 2 MB - Languages: American English - Released: 2026-11-02 - Data updated: 2026-11-08 ## What is Remote Keeper for Claude Code? When the Claude desktop app restarts or updates, your Claude Code sessions lose Remote Control, and your phone can't reach them anymore. Remote Keeper turns it back on from your iPhone, with one tap. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the free Remote Keeper app on your Mac or Windows PC (mannydlabs.com/remote-keeper). It lives in your menu bar or tray. 2. Scan the QR code it shows. That links your iPhone to that computer. 3. Choose the sessions to keep connected, and turn on alerts. When a session loses Remote Control, you get an alert. Long-press it and tap Reconnect, or tap Reconnect in the app. Remote Keeper opens that session on your computer and turns its Remote Control switch back on (or runs Claude's own /remote-control command), so it's back on your phone in seconds. A session Claude hasn't started yet gets one short message first. FEATURES • Reconnect one session, or all of them, with one tap (about a second each) • Jump into any session: tap its arrow and the Claude app opens that exact session • Claude updates on your terms: an alert when the Claude app has an update ready, What's New, and Install Now, which restarts Claude and brings every session right back • A badge when Claude updated itself, so you know why your sessions went offline • Your Claude usage on each computer, kept fresh even when you're away from your desk: the 5-hour and weekly limits (and any others Claude shows), with exactly when each resets • Favorites first: put your sessions in order, and Reconnect All goes top to bottom • New sessions show up on their own: start one in Claude and add it with one tap (or get an alert, if you turn that on) • Renamed sessions update by themselves • Alerts with a Reconnect button, right on your lock screen • An alert if a computer stops checking in, so you know it's asleep or offline • An app badge with how many sessions are offline • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Siri and Shortcuts: "Reconnect my sessions in Remote Keeper" • All your Macs and Windows PCs in one app; rename them and label them Work, Personal or Hobby • Choose as many sessions as you like on each computer • Update Remote Keeper on your computer from your phone PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no sign-up. Your computers sync through your own iCloud Keychain (or stay on this iPhone only, your choice). Everything between your phone and your computer is end-to-end encrypted: the relay in the middle only passes along scrambled data and can't read your session names. Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Remote Keeper collects no data, and the Mac and Windows apps are open source. Try it first: tap Try the Demo to look around with made-up computers. Remote Keeper needs the Claude desktop app with Claude Code on a Mac (macOS 13 or later) or a Windows 10 or 11 PC, with the free Remote Keeper app installed on it.

Install the free Remote Keeper for Windows (mannydlabs.com/remote-keeper), scan its QR code, and your PC shows up next to your Macs with everything you're used to: alerts when Remote Control goes off, one-tap Reconnect, your Claude usage, Claude updates and Restart Claude. • Your names in alerts. Rename a computer in the app and its alerts use your name for it. • Exact reset times. The 5-hour and weekly limits now show exactly when they reset, taken straight from Claude (update Remote Keeper on your Mac to 0.3.14). • With several computers, the bar at the top keeps the one you're looking at in view. ### 1.3 — 2026-11-06 Three new tricks, all about getting you back to work faster: • Jump straight in. Every connected session has a little arrow on the right. Tap it, confirm, and the Claude app opens that exact session. No scrolling, no hunting. • Claude updates, on your terms. When Claude for Mac downloads an update, you'll get a heads-up with What's New and an Install Now button. Tap it and Remote Keeper restarts Claude, installs the update and reconnects every session for you. No more finding out at 2 AM that Claude restarted itself and took your sessions with it. If it does update on its own, a badge tells you that's what happened. • Usage that's actually fresh. Claude only checks your usage while you're sitting at the Mac, so the numbers could be hours old. Now Remote Keeper asks Claude for a fresh reading when you open the app, with reset times taken straight from Claude. Extra limits like Weekly · Fable show up too. Update Remote Keeper on your Mac to 0.3.12 to get all of it (tap Update in the app). ### 1.2 — 2026-11-05 Big one. Here's what's new: • Reconnect All got fast. Like, really fast. About a second or two per session now, instead of the old "go make a coffee" wait. (Update Remote Keeper on your Mac to 0.3.11 to get the speed.) • Your Claude usage, right on the computer card. The 5-hour limit and the weekly limit, plus roughly when each one resets. No more guessing whether there's room for one more big refactor. • Favorites first. Reorder Sessions lives in the ••• menu, or swipe right on any session to send it to the top. Reconnect All goes top to bottom, so the sessions you care about come back first. • Always up to date. The app shows the latest status the moment you open it. Pull-to-refresh is retired. It had a good run. • Rate Remote Keeper, now in Settings. If it's saved you a few trips back to your desk, a quick rating helps more than you'd think. No pressure. (A little pressure.) ### 1.1 — 2026-11-03 • New sessions show up on their own: start a session in Claude and it appears at the top as "New on your Mac", with one tap to add it. Not Now hides it. • Renamed sessions update by themselves, in the app and the widgets. • Choose Sessions now lives in the ⋯ menu on the computer card, next to Rename & Label. • Optional alert for new sessions: Settings > Notifications > New Sessions (off by default). Needs Remote Keeper 0.3.7 or later on your Mac; it updates itself, or tap Update in the app. ### 1.0 — 2026-11-02 No release notes. ## More apps by Manuel Duarte - [Wing It On Wheels](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wing-it-on-wheels/id1512914298) - [ReliaPoll](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/reliapoll/id6742911813) - [StapleWatch: Grocery Prices](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/staplewatch-grocery-prices/id6814308200) - [MajorWorth: College Cost & Pay](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/majorworth-college-cost-and-pay/id6816167624) - [MannyDtv](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mannydtv/id6817445563) - [FERSWorth: Federal Retirement](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fersworth-federal-retirement/id6821502464) All apps by Manuel Duarte: https://appshunter.io/developer/1235112247 ## Related topics [claude code remote](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/claude-code-remote) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
