Continue a Claude Code session on another device. Sync your session history through GitHub, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and more, and choose which sessions to bring over.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Unofficial community extension. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic. «Claude» and «Claude Code» are trademarks of Anthropic.
Continue a Claude Code session on another device. The extension moves your session history between your computers
without a server of its own: the data travels through something you already use.
How to use
Commands live in the Command Palette: Cmd+Shift+P (Windows and Linux: Ctrl+Shift+P), then type "Claude Sync".
On the device where you worked
Open the project in VS Code.
Run Claude Sync: Push sessions.
The first time, choose how sessions travel (see below). The extension does the rest.
On the device where you continue
Install the extension and open the same project (same git remote).
Run Claude Sync: Pull sessions and choose the same method.
Choose which device to import from (skipped when only one other device has exported).
A list of that device's sessions appears: title, date, size and status. Tick the ones you need, or press "Select all".
Run Claude Sync: Resume a session, pick one, and a terminal opens with claude --resume.
Rules of thumb
Push before you leave a device, Pull before you start on another.
Do not continue one session on two devices at once: the extension reports a conflict and overwrites nothing.
A cloud service does not deliver files instantly: if Pull finds nothing, wait a minute and try again.
Every device exports to its own folder (named after the device, see claudeSessionSync.deviceName), so devices never overwrite each other and you always pick the source yourself.
Remove what a device exported: Claude Sync: Delete exported sessions (asks for confirmation; your own sessions on your devices are never touched).
Change the method any time: Claude Sync: Choose sync method. To forget it altogether: Claude Sync: Disconnect storage (nothing is deleted from the storage or from your device).
Ways to sync
Method
You need
What happens
GitHub
A GitHub account
One-click sign-in through VS Code; a private claude-sessions repository is created for you. A public one with that name is refused.
Cloud storage
iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, MEGA, pCloud, Box, Proton Drive or Nextcloud
You pick the storage from a list, a "Claude Sessions" folder is created at its root, and the cloud client delivers the files.
Your own git repository
A private repository you can reach (SSH or a credential helper)
Put its address in claudeSessionSync.repoUrl.
Settings
All settings apply per machine: set them in User settings.
Setting
Default
What it does
claudeSessionSync.mode
empty
github, folder (cloud storage) or git. Empty = ask on first use.
claudeSessionSync.deviceName
host name
This device's name in the storage: other devices pick it when importing.
claudeSessionSync.repoUrl
empty
Address of the private repository for the "own git" method.
claudeSessionSync.maxFileSizeMB
90
Sessions larger than this are not pushed (and you are warned).
claudeSessionSync.maxSessionAgeDays
30
Only sessions modified within the last N days are pushed. 0 = no limit.
Security
Sessions contain your code, command output and possibly secrets. Send them only to private storage: a private
repository or your own cloud. The extension warns you before the first Push.
The GitHub method asks for the repo permission (GitHub has nothing narrower for private repositories). The token
stays inside VS Code, and the extension's code is open.
With "Optimize Mac Storage" on in iCloud, some sessions may not be downloaded to this Mac yet. The extension tells
you how many and what to do.
Limitations
Sessions of the current project (the first opened folder) are synced, not all projects at once.
