Remote Control enables several powerful workflows that go beyond simple chat.

Typical Scenarios

Scenario Operation
Mobile Continuation Use /remote-control → Continue on mobile app while away.
Cross-device Resume Machine A /teleport → Continue on Machine B.
Agent Notifications Enable push → Claude calls push notification tool when a task ends.
Remote Plan Review Generate a plan in plan mode → Review/Edit/Approve on your phone.

Advanced Capabilities

  • Ultraplan / Ultrareview: Claude.ai subscribers can trigger cloud-based multi-agent tasks. /ultrareview for PRs was added in v2.1.110.
  • Background Agents: Long-running tasks can be moved to the background, and their status is visible in the Remote Control client.
  • Sync Features: Accent colors (/color) and session names (/rename) sync bi-directionally between CLI and Web.
