klaas vs Claude Code --teleport: External Tool vs Built-in Feature
When Anthropic released Claude Code version 2.1 in January 2026, the headline feature was teleport—the ability to move sessions between devices. Start a coding task on your desktop, check progress from your phone, resume on your laptop. For developers who’d been managing AI coding assistants through improvised solutions, it seemed like the answer.
But teleport isn’t the only approach to this problem. External tools like klaas provide similar capabilities through a different architecture, with different trade-offs. Understanding these differences helps you choose the right approach for your workflow.
