Anthropic quietly shipped a useful quality-of-life update to Claude Code’s Remote Control feature: mobile push notifications. Here’s how it works: Start a Remote Control session from your terminal (claude remote-control or --remote-control flag) Claude runs the task locally on your machine When it finishes or needs a decision from you to continue it sends a push notification to your phone You can also explicitly ask for it in your prompt: “notify me when the tests finish” Setup is straightforward: Install the Claude app (iOS or Android) Sign in with the same account you use in the terminal Allow notifications Run /config in Claude Code and enable “Push when Claude decides” Requires Claude Code v2.1.110 or later. This pairs nicely with the broader Remote Control workflow kick off a long refactor or test suite at your desk, walk away, and get pinged when Claude needs you back. The session keeps running locally the whole time, so your filesystem, MCP servers, and project config stay intact. Not groundbreaking, but exactly the kind of polish that makes async coding sessions less annoying. submitted by /u/Direct-Attention8597
