99A cloud session runs Claude Code on cloud infrastructure instead of your machine, Anthropic-managed by default. This quickstart starts one from [claude.ai/code](https://claude.ai/code) in your browser. You can also start one from the Claude mobile app, the Desktop app, or your terminal with `claude --cloud`.

11You'll need a GitHub repository to [get started](#connect-github). Claude clones it into an isolated virtual machine, makes changes, and pushes a branch for you to review. Sessions persist across devices, so a task you start on your laptop is ready to review from your phone later. Each session counts toward your plan's usage limits alongside the rest of your Claude and Claude Code usage, and there's no separate charge for the cloud VM.

208Cloud sessions require a connected GitHub account. Connect via the browser flow above, or run `/web-setup` from your terminal if you use the GitHub CLI. If you'd rather not connect GitHub at all, see [Remote Control](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control.md) to run Claude Code on your own machine and monitor it from your browser or phone.
