| 16 | +## Roomote Control |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +We've launched Roomote Control, a supplementary cloud service that lets you **monitor and continue long-running tasks from your phone** - no more waiting at your desk! Control tasks running in **your local VS Code instance** from any browser ([#7799](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7799), [#7805](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7805), [#7850](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7850)): |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +> **Important**: Roo Code remains **completely free and open source**. Roomote Control is an optional supplementary service that connects your local VS Code to any web browser. |
| 21 | +
|
| 22 | +**Free Features (All Users)**: |
| 23 | +- **Monitor from Anywhere**: Check on long-running tasks from your phone while away from your desk |

| 26 | + |
| 27 | +**Pro Features (14-Day Free Trial, then $20/month)**: |

| 30 | +- **Task Management**: Start new tasks, stop running ones, or switch between multiple tasks |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +The feature creates a bidirectional connection between your local VS Code extension and Roo Code Cloud, allowing you to monitor and control your local development environment from anywhere - whether you're on another computer, tablet, or smartphone. |
