Anthropic is preparing to launch Claude Code for the web, with new announcement banners and dedicated links surfacing in the codebase, signaling the release could be imminent. Users will notice a new Code link in the Claude web app, redirecting to a separate page where coding tasks can be scheduled, environments configured, and GitHub repositories connected. There are also early signs of this integration making its way to the mobile version, suggesting a broad rollout is planned.

One notable detail is the appearance of a potential waitlist for Claude Code, referenced in the codebase. This means initial access might be limited, with interested users required to sign up before gaining entry, similar to how other major labs have handled phased rollouts for new developer features. This waitlist approach allows Anthropic to manage demand and gather early feedback before wider availability.
The expected users of Claude Code are developers and technical teams, especially those who already use Claude or want an alternative to solutions like ChatGPT’s Codex. The feature set closely mirrors established coding assistants, offering: Collaborative programming, Environment management, GitHub integration.
The inclusion of Claude Code fits Anthropic’s ongoing strategy to broaden Claude’s reach in technical productivity and developer tooling. With a staged launch likely, including the waitlist mechanism, Anthropic appears focused on controlled testing and gradual onboarding, a move consistent with industry best practices for major new capabilities. The feature’s discovery traces back to updates in the platform’s code and banners, without public announcements so far.
