How to Use Claude Code Remotely

Claude Code on the web (launched October 20, 2025) lets you run coding tasks remotely via browser without local installation. Access from anywhere, run parallel tasks across repositories, and seamlessly transfer work to your local CLI.


How to Access

  1. Visit claude.com/code in your browser.
  2. Sign in with your Claude Pro or Max account.
  3. Connect your GitHub repositories.
  4. Describe your coding task.
  5. Claude handles implementation in cloud-based sandboxes with real-time progress tracking.


Key Features

  • Parallel Execution - Run multiple coding tasks simultaneously across different repositories. Each task has isolated filesystem and git workspace, perfect for bug backlogs and dependency updates.
  • Open in CLI - Transfer chat transcript and files from cloud to local CLI. Click "Open in CLI," paste the generated command in your terminal to continue with full context preservation.
  • Mobile Development - iOS app (early preview) enables code exploration, quick fixes, and monitoring from mobile devices.

Best Use Cases

Ideal for:

  • Bug fixes with clear reproduction steps
  • Routine tasks (dependency updates, documentation)
  • Backend changes with test coverage
  • Exploring unfamiliar codebases

Less ideal for:

  • Complex refactoring requiring deep context
  • Frontend work needing browser testing
  • Local-dependent tasks (database access, hardware-specific code)


Security

Tasks run in isolated sandboxes with network/filesystem restrictions and automatic cleanup. GitHub interactions handled through secure proxy - only authorized repositories accessible.


Access Anywhere

Remote Claude Code enables location-independent development. Start on mobile, continue on laptop, transfer to local CLI for deep debugging.
