Claude Code Remote Control alternatives
Claude Code Remote Control is Anthropic’s path for controlling a running Claude Code session from mobile. It is limited to Claude Code, requires an eligible Anthropic plan, and depends on the local process continuing to run. If you use another assistant or want a separate mobile cockpit, compare the options below.

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 Anthropic's Remote Control eligibility gate just to control a session from your phone.
- You want native iOS and Android, not just a chat sidebar inside the consumer Claude app.
- You want a different approach to session continuity or hosting.
- You want a documented phone-to-local-Bridge encryption boundary for ordinary session traffic.
Sesori
Sesori is a mobile cockpit for OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Pi, OMP, and Hermes. It pairs native iOS and Android apps with a local Bridge. Sesori does not add Anthropic’s Remote Control eligibility gate; Claude Code and the selected model provider can still require their own eligible account, credentials, or subscription.
- All seven supported assistants are available today through the Bridge plugin model.
- No Anthropic Remote Control eligibility gate; use the credentials or subscription your chosen assistant and model provider require.
- Ordinary phone-to-Bridge session payloads are end-to-end encrypted (X25519 + XChaCha20-Poly1305).
- Native iOS and Android, designed for coding workflows — not a chat sidebar.
- Source-available Bridge under the Functional Source License (FSL) that you can read and audit.
