Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 24, 2026

1. Who we are

"Remote for Claude" (the "App") is a personal-use tool that lets you control Anthropic's Claude Code CLI running on your own Mac from an iPhone app. The App is developed and maintained by the project owner.

2. Data we collect

None.

The App does not collect, log, transmit, sell, or share personal information. It does not use analytics SDKs, advertising identifiers, or crash reporters that send data off-device.

Your code, chat messages, project files, GitHub tokens, API keys, and any other data you work with remain entirely on your own devices.

3. How the App works

You run a command-line tool (remote-for-claude) on your Mac. That tool:

• Starts a local HTTP server on your Mac (localhost:9876).
• Opens a secure HTTPS tunnel to your Mac using Cloudflare's free tunneling service.
• Prints a randomized URL and an authentication Token.

You paste those into the iPhone app. The app then communicates with the local server on your Mac via the tunnel. Every request requires the Bearer token — without it, the server returns 401.

4. Third-party services

Cloudflare Tunnel

The CLI uses Cloudflare's Quick Tunnel feature to expose your local server to the internet over HTTPS. Cloudflare routes the traffic but does not inspect it. The traffic is end-to-end encrypted. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to this tunnel: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Anthropic Claude

The CLI invokes Anthropic's Claude Code. When you prompt Claude, your prompt and the relevant project context are sent to Anthropic's API using your own Claude account. This is the same behavior as running Claude Code directly in a terminal on your Mac. Anthropic's privacy policy applies to those requests: anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

GitHub (optional)

If you choose to use GitHub features (listing repos, cloning), the CLI uses your locally installed and authenticated gh CLI. GitHub's privacy policy applies to those interactions: github.com/privacy.

Deploy services (optional)

If you use the one-tap deploy features for Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or Supabase, the CLI invokes those tools only if you have installed and authenticated them locally. Their respective privacy policies apply.

5. Data storage on your devices

The iPhone app stores the following locally on your device, in iOS-protected storage:

• The URL and Token you paste when connecting.
• A cached list of recent projects (names and paths).
• Chat history for each project (messages you and Claude exchanged).
• UI preferences (selected language, theme settings).

None of this is transmitted off-device. It is deleted when you uninstall the app, and you can clear it anytime from Settings → Data → Clear local data.

6. Permissions the App requests

• Network: required to talk to your Mac over the tunnel.
• Pasteboard (temporary): only when you tap "Copy" next to a command or token.

The App does not request location, contacts, microphone, camera, photo library, or any other sensitive permissions.

7. Security

All communication between the iPhone app and your Mac uses HTTPS via Cloudflare's tunnel. Every API call requires a Bearer token; the token is generated on your Mac and never transmitted to any third party. You can rotate the token at any time from the app's Settings screen or via remote-for-claude token rotate on your Mac.

8. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
