Anthropic quietly shipped a new Claude Code feature called Remote Control, currently rolling out to Max plan users as a research preview.
The concept is dead simple: spin up a Claude Code session in your local terminal, then pick it up on your phone and keep going — same session, no context lost.
To try it: just type /remote-control in your Claude Code session.
This feels like a natural built-in replacement for workarounds people have been using (like SSH tunneling into a remote box from mobile). No third-party tools, no setup overhead.
What I'm curious about:
How's the latency on mobile?
Is editing code actually usable on a small screen?
Does the session state persist reliably if you switch apps?
Anyone on Max already tried this? Would love to hear how the mobile experience holds up in practice before I upgrade.
