Remote Control

Follow and drive a session from your phone or another browser.

Remote Control lets you go on with a session from your phone or a browser while it keeps running on this computer. It is off by default and works through the agent’s own service, so only agents that offer it have it: Claude Code, and Codex with an option.

Turn it on per session with the switch in its Environment card, or with /remote-control (/rc). Settings › Sessions › Connect new sessions to Remote Control turns it on for every new session whose agent offers it.

While it is on, the agent’s service keeps the conversation so your other devices can show it. Copy link, the QR code and Turn off are in the same dialog.

Each session gets its own claude.ai/code link and a QR code. Messages you send from the phone appear in the conversation as yours, and a permission approved there clears the card in Newen. It needs a claude.ai subscription login; an API key does not work.

Turn on Remote Control in Settings › Codex first: then every Codex session runs in one Codex process that the ChatGPT app can reach. Pair a phone shows a code to type in the app on the phone, valid for a few minutes. Your ChatGPT account needs multi-factor authentication; without it Codex says so, and Newen shows how to turn it on.
