Claude Cowork on mobile
There's still no separate Cowork app — but since July 7, 2026, Cowork lives in the sidebar of the Claude app on iOS and Android (Max plan first). Start and steer tasks from your phone; Dispatch still hands work to your desktop.
Claude on the go
Desktop for deep work
Local folder access and desktop-file workflows still run on macOS and Windows, where the agent can reach your files and connected tools.
Dispatch from your phone
Text tasks to Claude from the mobile app; your desktop executes them and reports back.
Cowork in the Claude app
Since July 7, 2026, Cowork appears in the sidebar of the Claude iOS and Android apps (Max plan first) — start tasks, watch progress, and pick up results.
Using Claude on iOS, Android, and iPad
There's still no separate Claude Cowork app for iPhone, iPad, or Android — but since July 7, 2026 you don't need one: Cowork appears in the sidebar of the existing Claude app, rolling out to Max subscribers first. Sessions run remotely in beta, so a task you start from your phone keeps going even with your laptop closed. See our Desktop, Web & Mobile page for the full breakdown of what shipped.
Mobile is strongest for starting tasks, checking status, and steering mid-run; deep local-folder access and desktop-file workflows still belong to the desktop app. Dispatch also still bridges the gap: send a task from your phone and your desktop Cowork session carries it out, then hands you the finished result.
