# Claude Code on your pad

> Claude Code comes preinstalled and current. You bring the account; the pad brings the machine that never sleeps.

Part of the reachpad docs: https://reachpad.dev/docs. Rendered page: https://reachpad.dev/docs/claude-code.

## Your account, your auth

The first run asks you to sign in with your own Anthropic account, exactly as on a laptop. reachpad does not resell model access or proxy your agent's traffic: your keys, your plan, your usage.

## Config and memory live on the pad

Settings, `CLAUDE.md` files, and memory live in your home directory on the pad and survive between visits, the same as any file there. Set it up once; every later session starts configured.

## Kept current

The pad updates the agent between your visits. The version you get is the current one, without you running an upgrade or an install ever again.

## Long runs

Start a run, close the laptop, and reattach later from any device: the run executes on the pad. Pair it with a second workspace for another agent: [running several agents at once](https://reachpad.dev/docs/multiple-agents).
