Claude Code on Web and Mobile: Work from Anywhere

Claude Code Isn't Just Terminal

Anthropic launched Claude Code on the Web—a cloud version that works from your browser or iOS app.

The idea: Start a task from your phone on the commute, then finish it from your computer later.

Who Can Use It?

Available to subscribers of:

✅ Claude Pro
✅ Claude Max
✅ Claude Teams
✅ Claude Enterprise

How Does It Work?

1. Setup

Visit claude.ai/code
Connect your GitHub account
Install Claude GitHub App on repositories
Choose default environment
Start!

2. Task Execution

When you start a task:

Your request ──→ Clone repo ──→ Setup environment ──→ Execute task
                                                          │
                                                          ▼
                                    Completion notification ──→ Create PR

What happens behind the scenes:

Repo is cloned to a secure VM
Environment is set up automatically
Claude analyzes, modifies, tests
Results are pushed to a new branch

3. Reviewing Changes

Built-in Diff View:

See all changes before creating PR
Comment on specific lines
Request modifications
Iterate until satisfied

Ideal Use Cases

✅ Perfect for:

Case	Why?
Questions about code	No local environment needed
Routine fixes	Clear, defined tasks
Parallel work	Multiple tasks at once
Repo you don't have locally	Clones from GitHub
Backend changes	Writes and runs tests

⚠️ Not best for:

Tasks requiring constant interaction
Frontend dev needing preview
Very complex environments

Moving Between Web and Terminal

From Terminal to Web

Use & to send a task to the cloud:

& Fix the authentication bug in src/auth/login.ts

Or from command line:

claude --remote "Fix the authentication bug in src/auth/login.ts"

The task runs in the cloud while you continue working locally.

Running Parallel Tasks

& Fix the flaky test in auth.spec.ts
& Update the API documentation
& Refactor the logger to use structured output

Each command opens a separate session running in parallel.

Monitor progress with:

/tasks

From Web to Terminal

Teleport—move a web session to your computer:

# From within Claude Code
/teleport
# or
/tp
 
# From command line
claude --teleport

Shows a list of web sessions to choose from.

Smart Strategy: Plan Locally, Execute in Cloud

1. Start in Plan Mode

claude --permission-mode plan

In this mode, Claude only reads and doesn't modify.

2. Collaborate on the Plan

You: I need to restructure the authentication system
Claude: [analyzes code]
        Here's my plan:
        1. Separate JWT logic
        2. Create unified middleware
        3. Update all routes
        ...

3. Send for Cloud Execution

& Execute the authentication plan we discussed

Benefit: Control the strategy + autonomous execution.

iOS App

Claude Code is available on the Claude iOS app:

What you can do:

Start new tasks
Monitor ongoing tasks
Review changes
Respond to Claude's questions

Ideal scenario:

Remember a bug while on the metro
Open the app and write the task
Claude works in the cloud
You arrive at the office and the PR is ready

Security

Cloud Environment:

Isolated VMs per task
Code isn't saved after session ends
Control over internet access
Full encryption

GitHub Integration:

Specific permissions (choose repos)
No access to secrets
Changes in separate branches

Summary

Claude Code on the Web adds great flexibility:

Start from anywhere
Run parallel tasks
Move seamlessly between devices

Tip: Use Terminal for focused work, and web for parallel tasks and monitoring.
