Claude Cowork was previously only accessible through the Claude desktop app for macOS and Windows, but now users on iOS and Android can also use it. However, Anthropic says the “full experience” for Cowork will still be on the desktop app, including features like local file access.
Cowork sessions will also now run in the cloud by default, so you can continue them across different devices or run Cowork tasks in the background even when your laptop is closed. There’s still an option for local processing on the desktop app, where users can switch between cloud and local processing. Additionally, scheduled tasks will now run even when none of your devices are online. Claude can also send Cowork notifications to your phone when it has something ready for you to review or approve.
Alongside Cowork’s mobile and web launch, Anthropic is also extending its doubled Cowork usage limits through August 5th.
