Anthropic appears to be testing Claude Cowork support on mobile, allowing you to manage long-running Claude tasks from your phone.
For those unaware, Claude Cowork is Anthropic’s desktop-focused agentic mode for Claude, and it brings some of Claude Code’s task-running abilities to regular knowledge work.
Unlike Claude Code, which is optimized for coding/development tasks, Cowork can work on longer tasks, use files, create documents, generate spreadsheets, write reports, and continue working in the background while you monitor progress.
In my tests, I’ve found Cowork to be useful when I have to deal with documentation, pictures, and even managing my storage partition.
For example, when I was compiling a React Native app on my local storage, and it ran out of storage, Cowork investigated all my local folders in the partition and found files using most of my storage that I may not have been aware of.
Until now, Cowork has been mostly tied to Claude Desktop on macOS and Windows, but screenshots posted on X suggest Anthropic is preparing a proper mobile experience for it.
If you look at the above screenshot, it clearly confirms that you will be able to “start and steer tasks directly from your phone,” and also “check in from your phone, browser, or Claude desktop app.”
Most importantly, Anthropic notes that “work continues in the background, even when you close the app.”
Claude Cowork won’t turn your phone into an agentic platform
Based on the screenshots, it’s quite obvious that Anthropic does not plan to turn Claude’s mobile app into a full desktop app.
Instead, it appears that Claude Cowork on mobile would be similar to a remote control for Cowork on your PC.
This aligns with Anthropic’s current explanation of Cowork. The company says Cowork runs directly on your computer, giving Claude access to the files you choose to share.
In other words, your phone may become the remote control for Cowork, but your computer is still where the actual heavy lifting happens.
Anthropic has not publicly announced full mobile Cowork support yet, but the screenshots suggest the feature is already being prepared inside Claude for mobile.
