Claude Code Sessions From Anywhere: One List for Every Computer

Claude Code runs where your code lives: on your desktop, your laptop, maybe a server. The trouble starts when you aren't sitting in front of the one that needs you. Sessions in Coder IDE gathers every Claude Code session from every computer you've signed in into one list, tells you when one is waiting on you, and lets you answer from your phone, a browser or your watch. This post covers how it works and how to tune it.

One list for every session

Open Sessions in the browser or the Sessions tab in the Android app and you see the Claude Code sessions running on all your computers. It doesn't matter how a session started:

• In a terminal, with claude in any shell on the computer.
• In VS Code, through the Claude Code extension, whether you opened it at your desk or through Coder IDE.
• In the background, with no terminal or editor window open.
• From Coder IDE itself, when you start a new session from your phone or browser.

Each row shows which computer and project it belongs to, what it's doing and when it last did something. Tap one and you can read the session as a chat: Claude's replies with proper formatting, your messages as bubbles, and each step showing its command or file. Long runs of steps fold into one line, such as "Ran 14 commands, edited 3 files", so you can catch up on a long session without scrolling through every tool call.

Grouped by project and what needs you

Chats are neatly arranged by project folder (folder = project), keeping all sessions in the same repository together rather than fragmenting them across the screen. Live sessions and active repositories lead the list, followed by the most recently active.

The list offers three views via tabs:

• All (selected by default): every active and recent session across your machines, excluding archived ones.
• Active: sessions that are currently running, waiting on approvals, or waiting for your reply.
• Archived: an out-of-the-way home for completed work. Long-press any session in the list (or open the ⋯ session menu) to Archive or Unarchive it in one tap.

Queued messages and offline resilience

You don't have to wait for Claude to finish its current turn before typing your next thought.

• Floating Queued Messages card: When queueing is active or Claude is busy working, messages you send appear in a dedicated card right above the composer.
• Full control: From the queued messages card, tap Send now (→) to interrupt and deliver immediately, Edit (✏️) to tweak your message inline, or Delete (🗑️) to discard it.
• Offline queueing: If your PC or agent goes offline, you can still type and queue replies locally. The app clearly informs you: "Won't be submitted unless connected back to the agent", and flushes them cleanly once the connection is restored without getting stuck at "Sending…".

Notifications, and how to turn them on or off

You don't need to keep checking the list. Coder IDE sends a push notification when a session:

• Needs your approval, because Claude wants to run something.
• Is waiting for you, because a long turn finished while you were away from the computer.
• Stopped unexpectedly, because a session ended in the middle of a turn.

You choose which of these you get, separately on each device. In the Android app, go to Account, then Notifications, where each alert has its own switch next to sign-in requests and machines going offline. In the browser, go to Settings and enable browser notifications, then pick the alerts you want for that browser.

Alerts are also controlled per computer. Claude session alerts are on by default. To change that on a computer, use the Claude session alerts switch in the desktop app's Settings, or run coder-ide alerts on or coder-ide alerts off in a terminal. If alerts are off on one of your computers, the Sessions page tells you, along with the command that turns them back on.

Approve or deny after reading the full request

When Claude asks for permission, open the session and you see the whole request, not a shortened preview. The Approve button only appears once the complete request is on screen, so you can't approve something you haven't been shown. Deny is always there.

For a very short, plain request, the notification itself can carry an Allow button, so a quick npm test doesn't need you to open anything. Anything longer, or anything with characters that could hide what it does, opens the full request first.

On a Wear OS watch with the Coder IDE app, pending approvals appear on the watch's home screen. You can allow a short request that fits on the watch face, or deny anything. Longer requests say "Review on your phone", because a watch face is no place to read a long command.

If the decision needs more context than the request, tap Review changes to go through the session's edits file by file. You can comment on any line and send all your comments to Claude in one message, or use Open in VS Code to jump to the exact file and line in the full editor. There's a deeper guide on reviewing Claude Code's diffs on your phone, and one on which requests to approve from a phone.

Reply, or start a new session

When a session is waiting for you, answer it from the reply box at the bottom of the session. Your message goes to Claude on your computer and the session carries on.

You can also start a new session without being at the computer. Tap New session, pick a computer, pick one of its project folders, and type what Claude should do. If that computer is offline, the session is queued and starts as soon as it's back, so you can line up work from the train and find it running when you get home.

Claude keeps working on your computer while your phone sleeps, you switch apps or your connection drops. When you come back to the editor later, the chats Claude ran on your computer are there, and they never pop in while you're in the middle of typing. If you open a project folder where Claude Code is still working at your desk, Coder IDE tells you so and opens that chat as soon as it finishes.

On tablets: the list and the session side by side

On a tablet or an unfolded foldable, the Android app shows the session list and the open session side by side. You can keep an eye on Needs you while reading one session, and move between sessions without going back and forth.

On a phone, the list and the session are separate screens, and the reply box stays at the bottom where your thumb is. Either way, the status of each session is visible at a glance, so you don't have to open one to know whether it needs you.

Wrap-up

Sessions turns "which terminal was that in?" into one list across all your computers, grouped by what needs you. Notifications tell you when to look, approvals show the full request before you decide, and replies and new sessions reach your computer even when you're not there. If you're running several sessions at once, managing multiple Claude Code sessions from your phone has practical tips for keeping them apart.
