Questions,answered plainly.
What Virex Remote is, what you install, what you can do to a running session, what it costs and why a long run does not cost more, and where the security boundary sits.
The basics
What is Virex Remote?
Remote oversight and control for AI coding sessions running on your own machines. A lightweight daemon reports session activity over a persistent live link, and you follow the run and answer its decisions from any browser or device.
Who is it for?
Teams that leave coding agents running unattended. If somebody starts a long session and steps away, Remote is what stops the run stalling silently until they come back.
Which coding agent does it work with?
Claude Code is the primary integration. Remote is built around the way Claude Code sessions run, pause for permission requests, and gate on plan decisions. We do not claim support for other CLIs.
Is Virex Remote a separate product from Virex Memory?
Yes, separate products with separate seats. They share one account, one organization, and one subscription, so running both is a second line item rather than a second relationship.
How it works
What do I install?
A lightweight daemon on the machine where your sessions run. It observes session activity and holds an outbound link to the control plane. Setup steps live in the docs.
Do I need to expose my machine to the internet?
No. The daemon makes an outbound connection and maintains the link from your side. There is no inbound port to open and no public tunnel to publish.
Does my machine need to stay awake?
Yes. The agent runs locally, so the machine has to be running and connected. If it sleeps, the session pauses with it and activity resumes when it reconnects.
What can I actually do to a running session?
Follow live activity, send an instruction into it, approve or deny permission requests, approve or deny plan decisions, and interrupt the current activity.
Is this the same as SSH or remote desktop?
No. Those give you the machine and expect you to drive a terminal. Remote gives you the session structure directly, so a pending decision is a thing to answer rather than text to read on a small screen.
Can an agent drive Remote instead of a person?
Yes. Remote ships a first-party MCP server, so an orchestrating agent can follow session activity and act on the decision surface the same way you do in the browser.
Cost and billing
What does Virex Remote cost?
$15 per seat, per month, the same flat rate as every Virex product. Your organization holds one subscription with a line item per product.
Do long sessions cost more?
No. Virex drives the Claude Code interactive CLI, so model usage rides the Claude subscription on your own machine. A six-hour run and a two-minute run cost the same seat.
Are there token or API charges from Virex?
None. Virex adds no usage component, no token surcharge, and no per-session fee. The billing-safe page explains why the integration method is what makes that possible.
Is there a free tier or a trial?
No. Access begins when your organization subscribes and an admin assigns you a seat.
Can someone hold a Remote seat but not a Memory seat?
Yes. Seats are per member, per product, and admins adjust them as the team changes.
Teams and access
Can a teammate watch or drive my session?
Machines and sessions belong to your organization, so members holding a Remote seat work inside that shared scope rather than through shared credentials.
What happens when someone leaves the team?
An admin removes their seat, which ends their access to the product. The session records their work produced stay with the organization.
Are remote decisions recorded?
Yes. Security events are audit-logged with the actor, the target, and the timestamp, so an approval made from a phone is as traceable as one made at the keyboard.
Can I share one machine with a teammate?
Devices belong to your organization and can be shared with named teammates, with the owner able to see who has access and revoke it.
Security
Does my code leave my machine?
No. Claude Code keeps running locally and your code, credentials, and execution stay on your machines. Virex carries coordination, session state, and control signals, and never executes customer code.
What does Virex actually store?
Session activity and decision records, plus account, seat, and entitlement state. Not your repository, not your model credentials, not build artefacts.
How is my organization isolated from another?
At the database layer with row-level security, so a query scoped to one organization cannot return another organization data even if application code is wrong.
Is Virex SOC 2 certified?
No. Security controls are designed to a SOC 2-oriented control set and no audit has been completed. The security page states the position plainly.
Where the longer answers live.
Billing-safe by design
Why driving the interactive CLI rather than a programmatic entry point keeps your cost flat.
Security
Isolation, identity, audit logging, retention, and an honest threat model.
Live session activity
How the live link works and what the view gives you while a run is in progress.
Billing-safe by design, security, live session activity, and pricing.
