Claude Cowork expands: now available on web, iOS, and Android

Claude Cowork, the artificial intelligence platform from Anthropic, can now be used from the web and mobile devices. The update also incorporates cloud processing so that tasks continue to run even when the computer is turned off.

The rollout began for subscribers of the Max plan and, according to Anthropic, will reach the rest of Claude's users in the coming weeks. The desktop version will continue to offer the most comprehensive features.

What is Claude Cowork and what changes with the new update

Claude Cowork was only available through the desktop application for macOS and Windows.

With the new update, the platform can also be used from web browsers and devices with iOS and Android, expanding access to more users.

How Claude Cowork works in the cloud

One of the main innovations of Claude Cowork is that sessions will run in the cloud by default.

This allows users to continue a task from different devices or keep processes active even when the computer is closed.

Desktop users will still have the option to choose between local processing or cloud processing, depending on their needs.

What features does Claude Cowork incorporate on mobile devices

The arrival of Claude Cowork on mobile devices introduces new options to track task progress from anywhere.

• Continue sessions across different devices.

• Run tasks in the background via the cloud.

• Receive notifications on the mobile device when a task is ready for review or approval.

• Access Claude Cowork from iOS, Android, and the web version.

What features will remain exclusive to the desktop version

Anthropic clarified that the most complete experience of Claude Cowork will continue to be available in the applications for macOS and Windows.

Among those features is access to locally stored files, in addition to the ability to switch between local and cloud processing.

Scheduled tasks now work without connected devices

Another new feature is that scheduled tasks can run even when none of the user's devices are connected.

Additionally, Anthropic confirmed that it will extend the expanded usage limits of Claude Cowork until August 5, which currently doubles the platform's usual capacity.
