Background & analysis
On 2026-11-11, DEV Community's AI section published a how-to piece explaining how to respond to authorization requests from Claude Code and Codex from a phone while the agents run on a computer.
The article opens with the familiar scenario: you start an agent on your computer at home and walk away. An hour later your phone shows that the agent has stopped to ask for permission to run a command. It stays stopped until you answer, and you are nowhere near the desk.
It then explains that each of the big agents has a way to answer from a phone, but the mechanisms are not the same. In a Claude Code session you type /remote-control (abbreviated /rc) and then open the session in the Claude app or at claude.ai/code to view it and reply to authorization requests. This requires a Pro, Max, Ultra, Team, or Enterprise plan. Codex, by contrast, is set up by enabling "Control this Mac or PC" in its settings to achieve similar remote control. In both cases the session keeps running on the computer, while the phone only handles displaying the conversation and sending messages.

A running Claude Code session can be handed to your phone by typing /remote-control (or /rc), then opening it in the Claude app or at claude.ai/code, provided you are on a Pro, Max, Ultra, Team or Enterprise plan. Codex offers a comparable handoff through its "Control this Mac or PC" setting; in both cases the session keeps running on the computer while the phone only displays and answers it.
