Sesori vs Claude Code Remote Control
TL;DR
Choose Remote Control for Claude Code alone and Anthropic’s first-party path. Choose Sesori for other supported assistants or a separate native app with a local Bridge.
Claude Code Remote Control controls a running local Claude Code session from the Claude iOS/Android app or claude.ai/code. It is the closest first-party option for users on an eligible signed-in plan. Sesori is a separate native cockpit for all seven named coding assistants; ordinary phone-to-Bridge session payloads are end-to-end encrypted.

Side by side
| Feature | Sesori | Claude Code Remote Control |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code support | Supported today alongside OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OMP, and Hermes. | Claude Code only. No third-party agent support. |
| Other agents supported | OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OMP, and Hermes, in addition to Claude Code. | None. Remote Control is Claude Code only. |
| Required plan | 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. | Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise Anthropic plan. API keys are not supported. Team and Enterprise require an Owner to enable it. |
| Surfaces | Native iOS and Android app focused on AI coding workflows. | Claude app on iOS and Android, and claude.ai/code in any browser via the Code tab. |
| Session start | Bridge starts when you launch it. Phone connects to any active session. | A session must already run on your machine (`claude remote-control` or `/remote-control`); the phone cannot start one. Mobile-started Cloud sessions are separate. |
| Session lifecycle | Bridge runs while you want phone access. Reconnects when your phone hops networks. | Closing the terminal or stopping Claude ends the session. A roughly 10-minute network loss times it out; brief drops reconnect. |
| Relay privacy | Ordinary phone-to-Bridge session payloads are end-to-end encrypted (X25519 + XChaCha20-Poly1305). The relay still handles connection and routing metadata. | Traffic routes through Anthropic infrastructure. Anthropic terms and policies apply. |
| Maturity | Shipping on iOS and Android with OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Pi, OMP, and Hermes support. | An official Claude Code feature maintained by Anthropic. |
