## ✨ Features
- **📧 Email Notifications**: Get notified when Claude completes tasks
- **🔄 Email Control**: Reply to emails to send new commands to Claude
- **📱 Remote Access**: Control Claude from anywhere with just email
- **🔒 Secure**: Whitelist-based sender verification
- **📋 Multi-line Support**: Send complex commands with formatting
## 🚀 Quick Start
### 1. Install
```bash
git clone https://github.com/JessyTsui/Claude-Code-Remote.git
cd Claude-Code-Remote
npm install
```
### 2. Configure Email
```bash
# Copy example config
cp .env.example .env
# Edit with your email credentials
nano .env
```
**Required settings:**
```env
SMTP_USER=your-email@gmail.com
SMTP_PASS=your-app-password
IMAP_USER=your-email@gmail.com
IMAP_PASS=your-app-password
EMAIL_TO=your-notification-email@gmail.com
ALLOWED_SENDERS=your-notification-email@gmail.com
SESSION_MAP_PATH=/your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/src/data/session-map.json
```
📌 **Gmail users**: Use [App Passwords](https://myaccount.google.com/security), not your regular password.
### 3. Configure Claude Code Hooks
Add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:
```json
{
"hooks": {
"Stop": [{
"matcher": "*",
"hooks": [{
"type": "command",
"command": "node /your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/claude-remote.js notify --type completed",
"timeout": 5
}]
}],
"SubagentStop": [{
"matcher": "*",
"hooks": [{
"type": "command",
"command": "node /your/path/to/Claude-Code-Remote/claude-remote.js notify --type waiting",
"timeout": 5
}]
}]
}
}
```
### 4. Start
```bash
# Start email monitoring
npm run relay:pty
# In another terminal, start Claude Code
tmux new-session -d -s my-project
tmux attach -t my-project
claude
```
## 🎮 How It Works
1. **Use Claude normally** in tmux session
2. **Get email notifications** when Claude completes tasks
3. **Reply to emails** with new commands
4. **Commands execute automatically** in Claude
### Example Email Flow
**📩 Notification received:**
```
Subject: Claude Code Remote Task Complete [#ABC123]
Claude completed: "Analyze the code structure"
[Claude's full response...]
Reply to send new commands.
```
**📨 Your reply:**
```
Please optimize the performance and fix any bugs you find.
```
**⚡ Result:** Your command automatically executes in Claude!
## 💡 Use Cases

- **Long-running Tasks**: Monitor progress and guide next steps remotely
- **Multi-location Development**: Control Claude from anywhere without VPN

-**Auto Expiration**: Sessions timeout automatically
