Teleport to Web
3 min read
The /teleport command transfers a local Claude Code terminal session to the web interface at claude.ai/code. The session — its full context, conversation history, and active tasks — moves from your terminal to a cloud-hosted environment that you can access from any browser. The terminal session ends. The web session continues with the same context.
The primary use case is long-running tasks. You start a complex refactoring locally, build up rich context through plan mode discussion, and issue the execution prompt. Rather than keeping your terminal occupied for the 10-20 minutes the task will take, you /teleport it to the web. Your terminal is now free for another instance. The web session processes in the cloud, and you check on it whenever convenient — from your browser, from your phone, or from a completely different computer.
The strategic value of /teleport is context preservation across environments. Without teleport, moving from terminal to web means starting a new session and rebuilding context from scratch — explaining the project, the current task, and the approach all over again. With teleport, the web session inherits everything: the CLAUDE.md rules, the conversation history, the files Claude has read, and the plan you discussed. The transition is seamless because the context is transferred, not recreated.
Teleport is also the bridge to mobile monitoring. Once a session is on the web, it is accessible through the Claude iOS app. You can check progress, read outputs, and even send follow-up prompts from your phone. The workflow becomes: configure precisely in the terminal (where you have full keyboard control), teleport to the web (where the session runs in the cloud), monitor from your phone (where you can check in from anywhere).
