Problem Statement

Feature Request: Mobile pairing via QR code to monitor and interact with Claude Code sessions remotely

Summary

Allow users to scan a QR code generated by an active Claude Code session to follow and interact with that session from any device (phone, tablet, another computer) through a browser or the Claude mobile app.

Motivation

When working on a development task with Claude Code on a desktop/laptop, it is currently impossible to monitor progress or send messages from another device. A QR code pairing flow would make it easy to:

Hand off context to a colleague without sharing screen Monitor a long-running task from a phone while away from the desk Interact with the session from a mobile device without needing to restart the conversation Proposed behavior

User runs a command (e.g. /share or claude --share) in the active Claude Code session Claude Code generates a short-lived, authenticated QR code and displays it in the terminal User scans the QR code with any device The paired device opens a read/write view of the session in a browser or the Claude mobile app Both devices see the same conversation and can send messages; the session continues on the original machine Additional context

This would be especially useful for developers who step away from their desk during long tasks, or for pair programming scenarios where a second person wants to follow along and contribute without needing full access to the developer's machine.

Proposed Solution

Increased productivity even when I'm not physically present at my work environment.

TL;DR

Implement a QR code pairing feature in Claude Code to enable remote monitoring and interaction with sessions.

Guidance

  • To begin implementing this feature, consider using a library or framework that generates and handles QR codes, such as a JavaScript QR code generator for the web interface.
  • Design a secure authentication mechanism to ensure that only authorized users can scan and access the session via the QR code.
  • Develop a real-time communication system to synchronize the conversation between the original device and the paired device, potentially using WebSockets or WebRTC.
  • Plan for handling different scenarios, such as the original device going offline or the paired device disconnecting.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context on the technology stack used by Claude Code, but a basic example of generating a QR code in JavaScript might look like:

// Import a QR code library
const QRCode = require('qrcode');

// Generate a QR code with a specific message (e.g., session ID)
QRCode.toString('https://example.com/session/123', { type: 'terminal' }, (err, url) => {
  if (err) console.error(err);
  console.log(url); // Display the QR code in the terminal
});

Notes

This feature request involves significant development, including security considerations and real-time communication. The implementation details will depend on the specific technologies and frameworks used by Claude Code.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by using existing screen sharing or remote access tools until the QR code pairing feature is implemented, as developing this feature will require substantial development and testing efforts.
