Anthropic launches Claude Cowork for mobile and web
Anthropic is expanding the availability of its AI platform, Claude Cowork, to mobile devices and the web. The new version also includes cloud functionality for background processing.
What happened?
Anthropic has launched Claude Cowork on mobile and web, making the platform accessible outside the previously exclusive desktop application for macOS and Windows. As of Tuesday, July 7, 2026, Max subscribers can use the service via iOS and Android devices as well as web browsers. Full access for other Claude users is expected "in the coming weeks."

”Starting Tuesday, Anthropic’s Claude Cowork AI platform will be available on mobile and web for the first time.”
”Claude Cowork was previously only accessible through the Claude desktop app for macOS and Windows, but now users on iOS and Android can also use it.”
”Cowork sessions will also now run in the cloud by default, so you can continue them across different devices or run Cowork tasks in the background even when your laptop is closed.”
Why it matters
This launch represents a broadening of availability for Claude Cowork, allowing more users to integrate the AI assistant into their daily workflow regardless of device. By moving processes to the cloud, Cowork sessions can run continuously in the background, even if the user closes their laptop. This increases flexibility and efficiency for users who rely on AI for complex tasks.
Who is affected?
Users of Anthropic Claude, particularly those subscribing to the Max plan, are directly affected by this change. Developers can benefit from the expanded platform availability, while companies using Claude for internal processes gain greater flexibility for their employees. Future Claude users on other plans will also gain access to these features.
What else you should know
Despite the expanded availability, Anthropic emphasizes that the full Cowork experience, including features like local file access, is still best achieved via the desktop application. However, users have the option to switch between cloud and local processing on the desktop version.
