Claude Cowork Expands to iPhone and the Web
Key Points:
- Anthropic is launching Claude Cowork on mobile and web platforms, initially offering beta access to Max users, enabling Claude to access local files and connected tools to autonomously complete tasks.
- Users can now start and monitor Claude Cowork tasks across web, desktop, and mobile apps, with Claude working in the cloud even when devices are offline and sending alerts for permission to proceed.
- The desktop version remains the most comprehensive for Claude Cowork, providing access to local files and a browser, but mobile and web versions offer alternatives for users unable to install desktop apps.
- Claude chat and Cowork features have been integrated into a single view on web and desktop, eliminating the need for separate tabs.
- To support mobile expansion, Anthropic is extending doubled Cowork usage limits through August 5.
