Claude Cowork now runs on mobile and web, matching Cursor and Replit
Anthropic's AI coding agent platform now runs on phones and browsers, letting users start tasks on desktop and check progress or retrieve output from any device.
Claude Cowork, Anthropic's AI coding agent platform, launched mobile and web versions on Tuesday after running exclusively on macOS and Windows desktop apps. Users can now start a task from a laptop, monitor status updates on a phone, and pull the finished output from a browser — even if the original machine is offline.
The rollout began for Max subscribers, with access expanding to other Claude plan tiers in the coming weeks. Anthropic has not disclosed whether the mobile and web clients support initiating new tasks or only monitoring and retrieving output from tasks started on desktop. The desktop-only restriction had been a friction point for developers who wanted to kick off long-running refactors or test suites and check results away from their workstations.
Cross-device handoff is now standard in the coding agent market. GitHub Copilot Workspace, Cursor, and Replit's Ghostwriter all support starting a task on one machine and reviewing the output on another. Claude Cowork's expansion brings Anthropic into parity with those tools at a moment when asynchronous workflows — starting a refactor at the office, reviewing the diff on the train home — have become table stakes for developer productivity platforms.
