4545 The process stays running in your terminal in server mode, waiting for remote connections. It displays a session URL you can use to [connect from another device](#connect-from-another-device), and you can press spacebar to show a QR code for quick access from your phone. While a remote session is active, the terminal shows connection status and tool activity.

6060 | `-d`, `--debug[=<filter>]` | Turn on debug logging for the server, optionally filtered by category. Pass a filter only in the `=` form, such as `--debug=api,hooks`. Requires Claude Code v2.1.282 or later. |
6161 | `--debug-file <path>` | Write debug logs to the given file. |
6262 | `--verbose` | Show detailed connection and session logs. |
63 | `--sandbox` / `--no-sandbox` | Enable or disable [sandboxing](/docs/en/sandboxing) for filesystem and network isolation. Off by default. |

65 Give these flags after `remote-control`.

6764 If you pass a global `claude` flag before `remote-control`, or a wrapper script adds one, Claude Code doesn't carry the flag over to the sessions the server creates. Claude Code lets the flag through only when dropping it is known not to change what those sessions can do, such as `--verbose` or `--model`. For any other flag, such as `--settings`, Claude Code [refuses to start](/docs/en/errors#not-carried-over-to-the-sessions-remote-control-starts) and names the flag to remove.

66 To sandbox the sessions the server starts, turn on [sandboxing](/docs/en/sandboxing) in a settings file.

6968 Claude Code checks Remote Control eligibility before printing help, so `claude remote-control --help` returns an error instead of this flag list when you aren't signed in with an eligible account.
