Claude Control Mobile

Answer Claude from anywhere.

When Claude Code needs a permission, has a question, or finishes a long run — your iPhone, Apple Watch, or Vision Pro gets the message. Allow or deny from the lock screen. End-to-end encrypted, no accounts, nothing to configure twice.

A green beacon pulsing signal rings into an indigo night

Permission prompts

The real command on your lock screen, with Allow and Deny under your thumb. Allow requires Face ID.

Questions

Claude's multiple-choice questions arrive with real option buttons — answer from the watch, or dictate a custom reply.

Agent status

Long run finished, stalled, or waiting on you? Your phone knows — but only when you're actually away from the desk.

Private by construction

Everything is encrypted between your computer and your phone. The relay in the middle can't read a single byte of it.

Setup in about three minutes

  1. Get the desktop side on the computer where Claude Code runs: on Mac, download the free Claude Control Helper (signed & notarized; drag to Applications — it installs the hooks itself and lives in your menu bar). Stream Deck owners on Mac or Windows can use the Claude Control plugin instead; a standalone Windows helper is coming soon.
  2. Hooks install themselves on the helper's first run — or with one press of the plugin's HOOKS key.
  3. Pair your phone — choose "Pair a phone…" from the menu-bar icon (or open http://127.0.0.1:37123/pair), scan the QR with the app, and confirm on the desktop. Done: the next prompt Claude parks will reach your phone.

Pair as many computers as you like — work machine and home machine prompts arrive side by side, each labeled with its machine name.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Stream Deck?

No. On Mac, the free Claude Control Helper is all you need — a small menu-bar app with no Elgato software involved. A standalone Windows helper is coming soon; today, Windows users run the desktop side via the Stream Deck plugin. If you own both, they coexist politely — the plugin takes charge and the helper stands by automatically.

How long do I have to answer a prompt?

In desk mode, about 30 seconds — miss it and Claude's normal in-app prompt appears, so nothing is ever lost. Flip on Away mode (the moon button in the app) and prompts wait nearly five minutes, tuned for a phone in your pocket. The countdown on each prompt always shows the real deadline.

What happens if I dismiss a notification by accident?

Nothing bad. Dismissing is never treated as a deny — the prompt stays live in the app until it expires, the dismissal is logged in your activity feed, and if it eventually expires unanswered the app pages you again with a "stalled" alert.

Does it work on Apple Watch?

Yes — notifications mirror to the watch automatically with the same Allow/Deny buttons, and question options appear as tappable choices. No separate watch app needed. Custom "Other" answers support dictation from the wrist.

What can the relay server see?

Almost nothing: a random pairing identifier, a push token, and encrypted blobs it forwards. Message contents — commands, file paths, questions, answers — are sealed end-to-end between your computer and your phone with keys that never leave your devices. The relay is open source and self-hostable if you'd rather run your own. Details on the privacy page.

The connection dot is red — what do I check?

Three things, in order: the Stream Deck software is running on the computer (the plugin lives inside it), the computer is online, and the app is paired (Settings → your desktop should show as confirmed). Re-pairing takes thirty seconds and always fixes a broken state: scan the QR again and confirm on the desktop.

My phone answered but Claude already moved on. What happened?

The prompt expired before your answer arrived (or someone answered from the desk first — first answer wins, by design). Late answers are harmless: they're simply ignored, and the outcome in your Recent list tells you who or what settled each prompt.

Is this affiliated with Anthropic?

No. Claude Control Mobile is an independent product by Eudaimonia Software. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC; this app simply works alongside the Claude Code developer tool you already run.
