Anthropic prepares Claude Code release for mobile apps

Anthropic is moving towards broadening its product suite by preparing a release of a new Code section across both its web and mobile platforms. This addition appears set to allow users to connect their GitHub accounts directly within the Claude interface, browse repositories, and access cloud-based development environments that they previously configured via the web. Early glimpses suggest the experience closely follows the direction established by OpenAI’s Codex integration inside ChatGPT, focusing on enabling background cloud code tasks, seamless prompt-to-PR workflows, and mobile-first access to automated coding utilities.

The functionality aims at power users and developers who value the ability to initiate coding sessions, dictate prompts, and later receive code suggestions or pull requests that can be merged back to their repositories. With Anthropic’s latest Cloud Sonnet 4.5 model showing strong coding performance in benchmarks and receiving steady improvements, the timing of this release could help shift developer attention towards Claude’s ecosystem, especially for those managing large code bases or collaborative environments on the go.

Anthropic, traditionally more conservative with feature releases compared to competitors, is now experimenting with deeper integrations for pro and max subscribers. While it remains to be seen which user tier will receive access first and what usage limits will be imposed, early signs suggest a push to make Claude more attractive for advanced technical use cases. The ability to work with code from mobile and web, paired with voice input and cloud-based execution, could help the Claude app narrow the gap with ChatGPT’s developer tooling. This move fits into Anthropic’s broader strategy of positioning Claude not just as a conversational agent, but as a practical assistant for real-world engineering workflows. Rollout is expected soon, and official details on tier access are still pending.
