Claude Cowork expands beyond desktop to web and mobile

Your move: Beta rolling out to Max users first, more plans to follow

On July 7, 2026, Anthropic expanded Claude Cowork beyond desktop to web and mobile, in beta. Until then, Cowork only lived on your laptop, so a task stopped when you stepped away. Now your sessions and files follow you: start a task at your desk, check on it from your phone, and pick up the finished output anywhere. Scheduled tasks run even with no device online. When Claude reaches a decision only you can make, the question reaches your phone, and nothing ships until you've reviewed and approved it. Desktop remains the full experience, since it can reach folders and apps on your own computer that web and mobile can't.

Why it matters

If you've been using Cowork only at your desk, this is the update that lets a task keep running while you're away from your laptop. Beta access is rolling out gradually, starting with Max users.
