Anthropic moved Cowork sessions off your laptop.

Rolling out July 7 through July 9, Cowork went mobile and web: sessions and files persist to the Claude account, background work continues after the laptop closes, scheduled tasks run with no device online, and approvals can be granted from your phone. Beta started with Max subscribers, doubled usage limits through August 5. The architectural change is what matters. Cowork stopped being a desktop app and became a durable agent runtime, which puts scheduling and human-in-the-loop approval on the critical path rather than in the margins.
