Claude Code Remote Control pauses when a MacBook lid closes; here's why and a workaround
Claude Code's Remote Control lets users run a session on their Mac and steer it from a phone via the Claude app. Closing a MacBook lid without an external display puts the Mac to sleep, which halts the session because it runs locally. Messages sent from the phone wait until the Mac wakes, and the session then reconnects automatically. The article notes that the standard caffeinate -i command only blocks idle sleep, so it does not prevent lid-close sleep. Keeping a lid-closed Mac awake requires disabling sleep with pmset, which carries battery and heat risks and must be reversed afterward.
