Mobile and web access for Claude Cowork launches this week, starting with Max subscribers. Other users will get access soon. The update brings cross-device sessions, but some features remain desktop-only.
Anthropic is making its Claude Cowork AI platform available on mobile and web for the first time, beginning Tuesday. The rollout starts with Max subscribers, while users on other plans are expected to gain access in the coming weeks, according to the company.
Previously, Claude Cowork could only be used through the dedicated desktop app for macOS and Windows. With this update, users on iOS and Android devices can now participate in Cowork sessions. However, Anthropic notes that the desktop app will continue to offer the "full experience," including features like local file access that are not available on mobile or web.
Sessions in Claude Cowork will now run in the cloud by default, allowing users to seamlessly continue their work across multiple devices. This change also enables users to start a session on one device and pick up where they left off on another, enhancing flexibility for those who work on the go.
Anthropic's move reflects a broader trend among AI platforms to prioritize cross-device accessibility and cloud-based workflows. The company has not specified an exact timeline for when all users will receive access, but promises a phased rollout in the near future.
Founded in 2021, Anthropic has quickly become a major player in the AI space, with its Claude platform attracting significant attention from enterprise and individual users. As of early 2026, the company has raised over $7 billion in funding and counts several Fortune 500 firms among its customers.
