Overview
- The research preview began reaching Max subscribers on March 17, with Pro access following shortly after.
- A persistent cross‑device thread lets people start and monitor multi‑step work on mobile while execution continues on their computer.
- Setup takes a quick QR code pairing between Claude Desktop and the mobile app, with the phone acting as a remote control rather than running jobs.
- The system inherits Cowork’s abilities, including local file access, browser control, plugins for Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar and Salesforce, and sandboxed script execution.
- Anthropic highlights security considerations: remote actions may read, move or delete files, and the computer must stay awake with Claude Desktop open.
