What it does

Claude Code Remote Control normally runs as a foreground process in a terminal. When the window closes, the process crashes or the machine reboots, a phone loses access to the machine. LiveClaude runs one claude remote-control server for each project directory. Each server runs inside its own pseudo terminal. A supervisor process owns the servers. The desktop app talks to the supervisor over a named pipe on Windows and a Unix socket on other systems. Closing the app window does not stop the servers. To add a session, choose a directory, a name and the flags you want. The supervisor parses server output for the session URL and for states that need your attention, and writes the output to a rolling log. After an exit, it restarts the server and uses --continue when the previous session can still be reattached. Reattachment works only within Remote Control's four-hour window. LiveClaude requires a Claude Code sign-in on a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with Anthropic.

Capabilities

Restarts after a crash use exponential backoff and a restart budget that you choose.
Hosting options include a scheduled task, a systemd user unit or a LaunchAgent that runs in your own session. A Windows service, a systemd system unit or a LaunchDaemon starts before anyone signs in. The app installs, starts and removes all of them.
Session settings cover spawn mode, permission mode, capacity, worktrees, session-name prefix, fixed session id, sandbox, model and extra arguments. The app shows a live preview of the exact command line.
An embedded terminal handles workspace trust, the one-time Remote Control confirmation and /login. You can also attach to a running server and type into it.
Each server shows one of these states: running, starting, needs attention, backing off or failed. Session URLs are one click away, and a separate supervisor log covers the host itself.

When to use it

You need Remote Control to keep running after you close the terminal window.
You want Remote Control servers to come back after a crash.
You want Remote Control servers to start again at logon or after a reboot.
