Claude Code Remote Control alternatives in 2026

Claude Code Remote Control is a useful feature, but it's locked to Claude Code, requires an eligible Anthropic plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise — Team and Enterprise need admin enablement, and API keys are not supported), and the local Claude Code process needs to be running. If you use a different agent or want a more flexible mobile cockpit, here are the alternatives worth knowing — starting with the one we make.

Why developers look for Claude Code Remote Control alternatives

  • You use OpenCode, Codex, or another agent — not just Claude Code.
  • You don't want to depend on an Anthropic plan just to control your sessions from a phone.
  • You want native iOS and Android, not just a chat sidebar inside the consumer Claude app.
  • You want sessions that survive closing a terminal, not just the original Claude Code window.
  • You prefer a relay that sees only encrypted traffic by design.
Recommended pick
