Halfday and Remote Control.

Remote Control connects the Claude app, or claude.ai/code in a browser, to a Claude Code session running on your computer. You start it with claude remote-control, claude --remote-control, or /remote-control inside a session. Any computer running claude remote-control shows up as a device card in the Claude app's Code tab, where you can start a new session on it. Your files and tools stay on your computer, and the conversation stays in sync across your devices.

Halfday is an app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that runs AI agents on your own computers. Each computer runs a small background service that starts Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode for you. The app is where you start tasks, answer questions, approve steps, and review what changed, from any of your devices.

We want to be plain about these:

• It's free with the plan you already have. Remote Control is included with Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise, so there's nothing else to buy or sign up for.
• It's built in and made by Anthropic. Remote Control ships inside Claude Code and the Claude app, from the people who make Claude Code. New Claude Code features reach it first.
• It works almost everywhere. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, and any browser. Halfday's apps are for Apple devices only.
• It's available today to anyone with a plan. Halfday is invite-only for now, and its iPhone app is still in App Store review.
• It has organization controls. Team and Enterprise owners can turn it on or off, and can require Trusted Devices, so each phone or browser enrolls and confirms with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passkey.
• It runs Claude Code in full. That includes subagents, workflows, model and effort switching, and most slash commands from the phone.

• More than one agent. Halfday runs Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode with your own Claude or ChatGPT plan. Remote Control is Claude Code only. You can give one task to Claude Code and the next to Codex, on the same computer or different ones.
• No process to keep alive. Remote Control needs the claude process to keep running. Close the terminal and the session goes offline, and Anthropic suggests tmux on a remote machine. Halfday's agents run in the background on each computer, whether or not the app is open.
• Computers you don't have to set up by hand. You add a Mac by installing Halfday and signing in, and Halfday installs the agents it needs. Linux servers join with one command. You can also rent a cloud computer from inside the app. Every computer appears in one list with what its agents are doing.
• Built for a Mac that lives on a shelf. On a desktop Mac, Halfday asks to stay awake during setup. Each computer's Always On settings cover Stay Awake, Restart After Power Failure, and Keep Screen Unlocked. When a Mac needs a hand on its screen, you can control it from your iPhone.
• Work that moves between computers. Each task works in its own git worktree. After each turn, the unfinished code is saved, so another of your computers can take over the task even while the first one is off.
• A team in the same place. Invite a cofounder or teammate and they see the team's computers and the work running on them. A shared vault holds the keys and logins agents need, and shared drives keep files in sync.
• Where the transcript lives. While Remote Control is connected, the session transcript is stored on Anthropic's servers. In Halfday, transcripts stay on your computers, and our relay passes encrypted traffic between your devices. Either way, Claude Code itself still talks to Anthropic's API, as it always does.
• An Inbox, if you want one. Halfday can connect to Gmail and ask you only about the mail that needs you. From an email, you can hand the work to an agent on one of your computers.

None of these are Halfday's alone. Open-source tools such as Happy and Paseo also run more than one agent, and Paseo runs across several machines. The difference is how Halfday puts it together: native Apple apps, your computers in one list, and a team around them.

Yes. They don't compete for the computer. Remote Control is part of Claude Code, and Halfday runs the same Claude Code you'd run in Terminal, so a Mac can have both. Many people will keep using Remote Control for a session they started at the desk, and use Halfday for work they hand off and come back to.

• Choose Remote Control if you use Claude Code only, on one or two computers you sit at most of the day, and you want something free and official that works on any phone or browser.
• Choose Halfday if you run Claude Code and Codex, or want to, across a fleet of Macs, a Mac mini or two, or a cloud computer. Halfday also fits if you'd rather hand off a task and hear back once it's ready than keep a terminal alive, or if a teammate should see and steer the same computers.
