Keep your work moving, wherever you are.
Truly complex tasks, like deep research or video editing, can run for hours on your computer. But they rarely finish in one go. Along the way, you might need to adjust direction, add commands, or approve an action, leaving the task paused and waiting for you.
That keeps you tethered to your desk.
Remote Control changes that by putting desktop power on your phone: start tasks, steer direction, and handle approvals from anywhere.
On the way home, you remember that tomorrow morning's investment deck still needs an update. You pull out your phone and send a command to your desktop Kimi Work.
See how a single prompt from your phone updates an investment deck on your computer.
You send commands from your phone, the task runs on your computer, and live progress syncs right back. If Kimi needs permission to access a folder, you can approve the request from your phone. Once it's done, the updated file and results are sent right back to your phone.
Starting tasks, following progress, and handling approvals are the three core capabilities of Remote Control.
What is Remote Control
Remote Control is a remote management feature in Kimi Work. Through the Kimi app on your phone, you can connect to and control Kimi Work on your computer.
Tasks always run locally on your computer: files, credentials, and environment configurations all stay on your machine. Your phone serves simply as a remote window to view and manage tasks.
What you can do with Remote Control
Start tasks from your phone, anywhere, anytime
Your work files and project context are saved in Kimi Work on your computer. Even when you are away from your desk, you can still send commands from your phone to access and use those materials.
Progress in real time, approvals on the go
Task execution syncs to your phone in real time. You can check the current step, active tools, and generated outputs at any moment. When Kimi needs confirmation (like sending an email or accessing a file), the request goes to both your computer and your phone. Approve or reject it right from your screen, so your work never grinds to a halt.
One phone, all your computers
Switch between connected computers whenever you like. A computer only needs to stay powered on and online, with a stable network and power supply. Wherever you are, you can send it a task.
The remote experience also includes:
Keep sending messages while a task runs: Queued messages execute in order, and injected messages adjust task direction immediately;
Browse every project and conversation, with search, pinning, and renaming;
Use installed Skills and Plugins remotely;
Start, edit, and pause Goals remotely;
Switch Agents, Thinking Levels, and context limits at any time.
Three steps to start
On your computer: open Kimi Work, go to "Remote control" in the left sidebar, and turn on "Allow phone control of this device";
On your phone: install the Kimi App (version 3.1.0 or later, on both Android and iOS) and sign in to the same account;
Connect the device: Kimi App → top-left corner → "Remote control" → "Add device" → "Connect", then click "Allow" on your computer.
Once connected, that computer appears in the Remote Control section on your phone: viewing projects, starting tasks, and handling approvals can all be done remotely.
Leave your computer. The work goes on.
Investment research: on the commute, have your computer read the latest research reports and data and update your investment analysis page;

Everyday work: away from your desk, approve file-reading and sending requests from your phone;
CONTROL YOUR COMPUTER, FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE.
