Anthropic Launches Dispatch For Cowork Remote Control

Anthropic today launched Dispatch, a research-preview Cowork feature that lets Max subscribers control a Mac-based, sandboxed Cowork session from a mobile device, with Pro access arriving in a few days. Dispatch pairs via QR after updating the Claude Mac app and requires the Mac to be awake with Claude open. Early testing found Dispatch works with Connectors but is slow and unreliable, succeeding roughly half the time.
Key Points
- 1Introduces Dispatch research preview enabling mobile control of Mac-based Cowork sessions via QR pairing
- 2Highlights access requirements: Mac must be awake with Claude app open; Max access now, Pro soon
- 3Advises practitioners to test cautiously because feature is slow and about 50% reliable in trials
Scoring Rationale
Official product launch with direct usability for subscribers; limited by rough performance and inconsistent reliability.
