Anthropic has announced the launch of Claude Cowork on mobile and web, with beta access starting initially for Max users. This development marks a significant step towards the broader availability of AI services, giving users the ability to leverage the capabilities of Claude Cowork from any device, whether mobile or desktop.
Claude Cowork on multiple devices
Claude Cowork is an innovative feature that allows Claude, Anthropic’s AI system, to access local files and connected tools. This enables it to autonomously complete tasks on behalf of the user, saving time and increasing productivity. This feature is particularly useful for professionals who need fast and reliable access to data and tools, without the need for constant human intervention.

Claude Cowork tasks can now be started and tracked on the web, desktop, and Claude mobile apps. This means users can manage their tasks from any device. Additionally, Claude is able to work in the background in the cloud, even when no device is connected to the internet.
In case it needs permission to proceed with a task, it sends a notification to the user, thus ensuring that the process continues seamlessly.
Anthropic says that the desktop is still the best place for the full Cowork experience, because it gives Claude access to local files and a browser. This allows for more complex and demanding tasks that might not be possible via mobile devices. However, for those who can’t install a desktop app, the ability to use Cowork via the web and mobile is a welcome alternative.
A major change to Claude’s functionality is the integration of Claude chat and Cowork into a single view on web and desktop. This change simplifies the use of the system, as users no longer need to switch between different tabs to access the various functions of Claude. This integration is expected to improve the overall user experience, making it smoother and more intuitive.

As part of the mobile expansion, Anthropic is extending the double Cowork usage limits until August 5th. This means that users will be able to fully utilize the system’s capabilities for a longer period of time, without restrictions. This decision underscores Anthropic’s commitment to providing its users with the best possible experience, encouraging them to explore and utilize the capabilities of Claude Cowork.
The expansion of Claude Cowork to mobile and web is not just a technological upgrade, but a strategic move that reflects current trends in the artificial intelligence market. As users increasingly demand more flexibility and accessibility, the ability to use such tools from any device becomes increasingly important. With this move, Anthropic places itself at the forefront of innovation, offering solutions that meet the modern needs of users.
