Claude can now use your computer in the background in Claude Cowork and Claude Code
Anthropic launched background computer use in beta for Claude Cowork and Claude Code, letting Claude operate the user's desktop — clicking, typing, and opening apps — while they work in another window. It ships in the Claude Desktop app on macOS for Pro and Max plans, and runs as long as the machine stays on and the app is open. For practitioners this makes long-running autonomous desktop tasks practical without dedicating the machine.
