About

Claude Remote Control

Claude Remote Control mirrors every Claude Code terminal session running on your Mac straight to your iPhone — so you're never chained to your desk while an agent works. WHAT IT DOES • See every Claude Code session live — status, current step, and token cost at a glance. • Get pulled in the instant Claude needs a permission: approve or deny a command with one tap, from anywhere. • Read the full transcript and type replies, run quick-send macros, or send keystrokes into the terminal. • Watch the raw terminal and even a live screenshot of your Mac when you need the full picture. • "Always allow" rules for the commands you trust, so routine work never interrupts you. HOW IT WORKS Claude Remote Control talks to a small companion daemon (claude-bridge) that runs on your Mac. Your phone and Mac connect directly over your own network — same Wi-Fi out of the box, or Tailscale to reach your Mac from anywhere. Nothing runs through our servers: the connection is peer-to-peer and secured with a private access token you pair once by scanning a QR code. SETUP (about 2 minutes) 1. On your Mac: npm i -g @ibiztech/claude-bridge && bridge install 2. Run: bridge pair — a QR code appears in Terminal. 3. Scan it with this app. Done — your sessions appear instantly. REQUIREMENTS • A Mac running Claude Code inside tmux, with Node 18+. • The free claude-bridge companion daemon (installed with one command). • For access outside your home network: Tailscale (free) on both devices. PRIVACY The app connects only to your own computer. We collect no data, run no analytics, and route nothing through third-party servers. Your access token is stored in the iOS Keychain. Claude Code and Claude are products of Anthropic. This is an independent companion app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
