Claude Cowork on web and mobile
July 7, 2026
Claude Cowork is now available on web and mobile in addition to desktop. We are rolling this capability out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow. Cowork runs your sessions remotely (in beta), so your sessions and files are saved to your Claude account and go where you go, on any device. Work continues when you close your laptop, and scheduled tasks run with no device online. Chat and Cowork also share one home now, with one place for your projects and artifacts across both. For more information, see Use Claude Cowork on web, desktop, and mobile.
Edit Claude’s drafts in place
June 12, 2026
When Claude writes a draft in chat or Claude Cowork (a report, a plan, a brief), it opens right beside your chat. Highlight the part you want changed, type the change, and Claude makes the edit right where you marked it. No switching apps, no re-describing paragraphs in chat. For more information, see Work with artifacts.

Computer use research preview in Cowork and Claude Code + Dispatch improvements
March 23, 2026
Users on Pro and Max plans can give Claude access to computer use. Claude can open files, run dev tools, point, click, and navigate to what’s on your screen to perform tasks itself—with no setup required. Claude’s new computer use capability makes Dispatch even more helpful by allowing it to use your computer on your behalf while you’re away. For more information, see Let Claude use your computer in Cowork or our blog post: Put Claude to work on your computer.
Control Cowork from your phone with a persistent thread (research preview for Pro/Max)
March 17, 2026
Users on Pro and Max plans can access a persistent agent thread via Claude Desktop or Claude for iOS/Android to manage tasks in Cowork. We're rolling this out to Max plans starting today, and Pro plans over the next two days. For more information, see Assign tasks to Claude from anywhere in Cowork.
Scheduled tasks in Cowork
February 25, 2026
We introduced the ability to create and schedule both recurring and on-demand tasks in Cowork, as well as a new Customize section in Claude Desktop that groups skills, plugins, and connectors in one place. For more information, see Schedule recurring tasks in Cowork.
