Anthropic launches Claude Code preview on web and mobile

Anthropic has launched Claude Code on the web, a cloud-based coding solution now available as a research preview for Pro and Max users. This release enables developers to delegate multiple coding tasks simultaneously from their browsers, bypassing the need for a local terminal. Through direct integration with GitHub, users can connect repositories and describe tasks, which Claude then executes in isolated sandbox environments. Real-time progress tracking and interactive control allow users to guide task execution, while automatic pull request creation and detailed change summaries enable streamlined project management.

Claude Code’s technical specifications emphasize security, with each task running in a restricted environment and Git operations managed through a secure proxy. Users can further refine network permissions, such as allowing access for dependency installation. The beta also offers access via iOS, giving developers the flexibility to initiate and monitor tasks from mobile devices. This platform targets software developers handling bug fixes, maintaining codebases, and managing routine updates, and is presently limited to paying users as part of the research preview.

Anthropic, the company behind Claude Code, is advancing its AI-driven development tools to support faster and safer software delivery. By leveraging proprietary cloud infrastructure and focusing on user privacy, Anthropic is positioning itself as a key player in the AI coding assistant space, competing with established tools but emphasizing robust security and user control. Early reactions from developers highlight the convenience of parallelized cloud execution and the seamless workflow with existing version control systems.
