Anthropic expanding Claude Cowork to mobile and web, details here [U]

Update 7/13: Fable 5 access on all paid plans has been extended once more through Sunday, July 19.


Anthropic announced today that it is expanding Claude Cowork capabilities from the desktop app to the web and mobile.

Claude Cowork on mobile and the web will start as a beta feature with a gradual rollout on select paid plans.

Additionally, Anthropic is extending Claude Fable 5 access to all paid plans for a few more days.

“Cowork is where you hand Claude a task, and it works across your files, calendar, email, messaging app, the web, and the other tools you connect until the job is done,” Anthropic says.

“Beta is rolling out over the next several weeks starting with the Max plan, with more plans to follow,” Anthropic announced on Tuesday.

Three company points to three ways bringing Claude Cowork to mobile and the web will change how the features work:

  • Your work follows you. Start a task at your desk, check on it from your phone, and pick up the finished output anywhere. 
  • Work continues in the background. Close the laptop and head to your meeting; Claude keeps going. Scheduled tasks now run with no device online. Set Monday’s client prep for 6 am: Claude works through the email threads, transcripts, and recent news, builds the briefing doc, and leaves the follow-up email drafted but unsent. Review it over coffee.
  • The decisions still come to you. When Claude reaches a call only you can make, it asks, and the question reaches your phone. You can redirect a draft mid-meeting and Claude keeps going, on the right path. Nothing ships until you’ve reviewed and approved it.

Once available, Claude Cowork will be available from the sidebar of the Claude app on iPhone, iPad, and Android, as well as claude.ai.

Anthropic says it will extend its doubled Cowork usage limits through August 5 to mark the rollout of Cowork on mobile and the web.

In addition to expanding Claude Cowork to more platforms, Anthropic says it will keep Claude Fable 5, its most capable consumer model, around for all paid plans for a few more days.

Access to Claude Fable 5 was set to shift to a token-based usage model tomorrow. Instead, Fable 5 will remain accessible for all paid plans through July 12.

Update: On July 12, Anthropic extended Fable 5 access on all paid plans once more through Sunday, July 19.
