Anthropic Expands Claude Code to Web and Mobile, Revolutionizing AI-Assisted Coding

Anthropic brings Claude Code to the web | TechCrunch

Anthropic launched a web app on Monday for its viral AI coding assistant, Claude Code, which lets developers create and manage several AI coding agents from their browser. Claude Code for web is now rolling out to subscribers to Anthropic's $20-per-month Pro plan, as well as its $100 and $200-per-month Max plans. Pro and Max users can access Claude Code on the web by navigating to claude.ai (the same website for Anthropic's consumer chatbot) and clicking into the "Code" tab. The launch marks Anthropic's latest attempt to evolve Claude Code beyond a command-line interface (CLI) tool that developers access from a terminal. By putting Claude Code on the web, Anthropic hopes developers will spin up AI coding agents in more places. It's increasingly competitive for tech companies trying to make their AI coding tools stand out. While Microsoft's GitHub Copilot once dominated the space, Cursor, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic now have highly performant AI coding tools of their own -- many of them already available on the web. That said, Claude Code is arguably one of the most popular. Anthropic's flagship coding tool has grown 10x in users since its broader launch in May, and the product now accounts for more than $500 million of the company's revenue on an annualized basis. Anthropic Product Manager Cat Wu tells TechCrunch in an interview that she attributes a large part of Claude Code's success to the company's AI models, which have become a favorite among developers in recent years. However, Wu also says the Claude Code team deliberately tries to "sprinkle in some fun" to the product wherever they can. Wu said that Anthropic will continue to put Claude Code in more places, but the terminal will likely remain the home base for their AI coding product. "As we look forward, one of our key focuses is making sure the CLI product is the most intelligent and customizable way for you to use coding agents," said Wu. "But we're continuing to put Claude Code everywhere, helping it meet developers wherever they are. Web and mobile are a big step in this direction." Anthropic claims that 90% of the Claude Code product itself is written by the company's AI models. Wu, who was previously an engineer, says that she rarely ever sits down at a keyboard to write code anymore, and mostly just reviews Claude Code's outputs. Early AI coding tools worked like an autocomplete tool, finishing lines of code as developers wrote them. But the agentic generation of AI coding tools -- including Claude Code -- allow developers to spin up agents that work autonomously. This shift has made millions of software engineers act more like managers of AI coding assistants in their day-to-day jobs. The change has not been welcome to every developer. One recent study found that some engineers were actually slower when using AI coding tools like Cursor. Researchers suggested one factor could be engineers spending much of their time prompting and waiting for AI tools to finish, rather than working on other problems. AI coding tools also struggle in large, complex code bases, so engineers may have spent a lot of time working through incorrect responses from the AI model. Nevertheless, companies like Anthropic are continuing to push ahead with making AI models code more agentically. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted a few months ago that AI should soon write 90% of code for software engineers. While that may be true inside of Anthropic, that shift may be taking longer to pan out in the broader economy.

You can use Anthropic's popular Claude Code tool on the web now - how to get access

This means you can start coding sessions outside the terminal. Anthropic's Claude Code tool has become a go-to-assistant for developer's coding needs within their terminal. Now, the company is making it accessible directly from the browser, meaning users can access the coding assitant without even opening the terminal. Also: I've tested free vs. paid AI coding tools - here's which one I'd actually use Starting today, users can assign coding tasks to Claude using Anthropic-managed cloud infrastructure, giving developers the ability to code in the GitHub repository via a web interface -- similar to how OpenAI's Codex and Google's Jules operate. This builds on Claude's previous capabilities, which allow users to run the coding assistant directly in their workspace to write or manage code. According to Anthropic, the benefits of using Claude Code on the web include accessing Claude's assistance on multiple tasks across different repositories at the same time, getting answers to questions on how repositories are mapped, shipping faster with automatic PT creation and clear change summaries, and more. As part of this research preview, Anthropic is also making Claude Code available on the iOS app, so that developers can access it on the go. Since its in early preview, the company added the caveat that it is collecting feedback to refine the mobile experience. Also: That new Claude feature 'may put your data at risk,' Anthropic admits To address security concerns, the company said that each Claude Code task runs in an "isolated sandbox environment with network and filesystem restrictions," while Git interactions use secure proxy service which allows Claude to only access authorized repositories.

Claude Code for web is available in research preview for Pro and Max plans, which are $20 per month and $100 to $200 (depending on usage tier) respectively. Both plans offer other benefits over the free user experience, including higher usage limits, access to Research, the ability to connect to Google Workspace, additional Claude models, and more.

Anthropic brings Claude Code to iOS and the web

At the end of February, Anthropic announced Claude Code. In the eight months since then, the coding agent has arguably become the company's most important product, helping it carve out a niche for itself in the highly competitive AI market. Now, Anthropic is making it easier for developers to use Claude Code in more places with a new web interface for accessing the agent. To get started, you'll need connect Claude to your GitHub repositories. From there, the process of using the agent is the same as if it had direct terminal access. Describe what you need from it, and the agent will take it from there. Claude will provide progress updates while it works, and you can even steer it in real-time with additional prompts. Through the web interface, it's also possible to assign Claude multiple coding tasks to run in parallel. "Every Claude Code task runs in an isolated sandbox environment with network and filesystem restrictions. Git interactions are handled through a secure proxy service that ensures Claude can only access authorized repositories -- helping keep your code and credentials protected throughout the entire workflow," said Anthropic. In addition to making Claude Code available on the web, Anthropic is releasing a preview of the agent inside of its iOS app. The company warns the integration is early, and that it hopes "to quickly refine the mobile experience based on your feedback." Pro and Max users can start using Claude Code on the web today. Anthropic notes any cloud sessions share the same rate limits with all other Claude Code usage.

Claude Code just came to the web -- and it's about to change how you vibe code

You can now unleash Claude's raw power directly in your terminal I've said it before and it still holds true: Claude is quietly crushing it. Now, Anthropic just made coding way easier. With its latest update, Claude Code on the web users can now write, fix and manage code straight from their browser. No command line, no setup no downloads needed. Currently in research preview for Claude Pro and Max users, this version runs entirely in the cloud, so you can assign tasks, generate pull requests and track updates in real time; all from one place. This updated includes GitHub integration, secure sandbox testing and support for multiple tasks at once, turning Claude Code into a full-on cloud coding workspace. Whether you're fixing bugs, writing tests or updating backend logic, everything happens right inside your browser. With the new web version, you can hand off coding tasks right from your browser. Instead of jumping between GitHub and the command line, just tell Claude what you need, such as: "clean up my CSS" or "add error handling to the login page." Claude will do the rest, generating pull requests, running tests and summarizing the changes automatically. GitHub is still part of the process; Claude needs access to your codebase to make real updates, but setup is a lot easier. The browser interface removes most of the manual steps, so you can focus on shipping code faster. Even better, Claude Code is expected to land in the iOS app soon, bringing mobile workflows into the mix. That means you could assign a few bug fixes while waiting in line for coffee, and come back to completed PRs ready to merge. Claude Code's web version is not only built for convenience, it's built for scale. You can now give Claude a list of tasks instead of one at a time. For example, you could say "fix these 10 bugs" or "update all the backend routes," and it will work on them in parallel. That shift moves Claude closer to agentic AI where the assistant follows instruction while breaking down big goals into smaller jobs and finishes them on its own. This kind of automation could save developers and vibe coders hours of repetitive work. Anthropic hasn't released full documentation yet, but early tests suggest the cloud version removes the single-task limits seen in the older command-line tool. In other words, you can finally let Claude handle multiple coding jobs at once, just as if you had a real timemate doing it. The timing fits Anthropic's rapid release cadence. After launching Claude Sonnet 4.5 in late September -- positioned as "the best model in the world for coding and AI agents" -- the company followed with Haiku 4.5, a lightweight model optimized for reasoning. Claude Code adoption has soared alongside them. Anthropic says the tool has grown 10× since May and now drives hundreds of millions in annualized revenue. Internal teams reportedly generate up to 90% of their code through Claude, signaling just how fast AI-assisted development is scaling. Now, Claude Code on the web marks a major leap in accessibility, bringing advanced AI-assisted coding to everyone; from veteran developers to newcomers who just want to fix a bug or prototype faster. The tool is available now in research preview for Claude Pro and Max tiers at claude.ai/code.

Claude Code comes to the masses - and it's a game-changer for wannabe coding masters

The tool's new accessibility opens up advanced coding capabilities to non-developers and solo creators Anthropic is making its Claude Code programming tool available and usable to just about anyone with a web browser or smartphone. No longer limited to terminals and local environments, you can now delegate multiple coding tasks to Claude Code right from your claude.ai browser tab. Being usable on mobile devices enhances that sense of flexibility. You can use Anthropic's iOS app to get to Claude Code and have a new piece of software outlined in very little time, though not without its share of bugs and flawed mechanics. It's a remarkable shift for a tool like Claude Code, which Anthropic boasts it used internally to write 90% of its own code. The company claims it has contributed to a jump in output of 67% per engineer, even as the engineering team doubled in size. That's partly because Claude Code is so proactive when receiving instructions. Users can submit new requests while previous ones are running, and tweak them before they are done if it looks like Claude hasn't quite understood what it's been asked to do. In one sense, this is the latest chapter in AI's ongoing effort to dissolve barriers between expert tools and casual users. In another, Claude Code on the web allows users to get the programming software to mimic how humans work in the disjointed fits and starts that jump around to different contexts. You just assign the work, Claude handles the execution, and you review the results on your schedule. Claude Code's expansion is a sort of culmination of recent efforts by Anthropic to push a new line of AI models out. Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5 recently debuted, with agent-based coding a key element of how Anthropic pitches them. The appearance of Claude Code on the web continues Anthropic's push to reshape who gets to benefit from this kind of AI model. That shift in role might feel jarring to some developers who pride themselves on hands-on control. But it's arguably just another level of automating some aspect of programming, going back to physically moving relays in building-sized computers, down to the much more rapid development of high-level languages, then frameworks, then low-code platforms, and, for the average person, the development of the content management systems in use today. Agentic AI just pushes the boundary further by autonomously executing more abstract instructions. It certainly doesn't remove the need for human programmers and designers to make good programs, although making it easier to produce bad ones is arguably a built-in argument against their use. In that light, Claude Code becomes less about replacing developers and more about augmenting them. It handles the glue code, the boilerplate, and the regression tests. The boring bits, in other words. Anthropic says it's a real money-maker too, with Claude Code on its way to making more than half a billion dollars in annualized revenue, with ten times the usage since it became generally available in May 2025. Word of it must be spreading to the likes of solo developers and independent teams who once struggled to keep up with code maintenance. Designers who occasionally dabble in front-end tweaks might finally ship a side project they've played with for years. There are still plenty of limitations. Not every problem can be solved with an agent. Not every user wants to write specs in natural language. But for a growing swath of tasks, Claude Code's accessibility may make all of their programming dreams come true.

Claude Code comes to web and mobile, letting devs launch parallel jobs on Anthropic's managed infra

Vibe coding is evolving and with it are the leading AI-powered coding services and tools, including Anthropic's Claude Code. As of today, the service will be available via the web and, in preview, on the Claude iOS app, giving developers access to additional asynchronous capabilities. Previously, it was available through the terminal on developers' PCs with support for Git, Docker, Kubernetes, npm, pip, AWS CLI, etc., and as an extension for Microsoft's open source VS Code editor and other JetBrains-powered integrated development environments (IDEs) via Claude Agent. "Claude Code on the web lets you kick off coding sessions without opening your terminal," Anthropic said in a blog post. "Connect your GitHub repositories, describe what you need, and Claude handles the implementation. Each session runs in its own isolated environment with real-time progress tracking, and you can actively steer Claude to adjust course as it's working through tasks." This allows users to run coding projects asynchronously, a trend that many enterprises are looking for. The web version of Claude Code, currently in research preview, will be available to Pro and Max users. However, web Claude Code will be subject to the same rate limits as other versions. Anthropic throttled rate limits to Claude and Claude Code after the unexpected popularity of the coding tool in July, which enabled some users to run Claude Code overnight. Anthropic is now ensuring Claude Code comes closer to matching the availability of rival OpenAI's Codex AI coding platform, powered by a variant of GPT-5, which launches on mobile and the web back in mid September 2025. Parallel usage Anthropic said running Claude Code in the cloud means teams can "now run multiple tasks in parallel across different repositories from a single interface and ship faster with automatic PR creation and clear change summaries." One of the big draws of coding agents is giving developers the ability to run multiple coding projects, such as bugfixes, at the same time. Google's two coding agents, Jules and Code Assist, both offer asynchronous code generation and checks. Codex from OpenAI also lets people work in parallel. Anthropic said bringing Claude Code to the web won't disrupt workflows, but noted running tasks in the cloud work best for tasks such as answering questions around projects and how repositories are mapped, bugfixes and for routine, well-defined tasks, and backend changes to verify any adjustments. While most developers will likely prefer to use Claude Code on a desktop, Anthropic said the mobile version could encourage more users to "explore coding with Claude on the go." Isolated environments Anthropic insisted that Claude Code tasks on the cloud will have the same level of security as the earlier version. It runs on an "isolated sandbox environment with network and filesystem restrictions." Interactions go through a secure proxy service, which the company said ensures the model only accesses authorized repositories. Enterprise users can customize which domains Claude Code can connect to. Claude Code is powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5, which Anthropic claims is the best coding model around. The company recently made Claude Haiku 4.5, a smaller version of Claude that also has strong coding capabilities, available to all Claude subscribers, including free users.
