Anthropic has expanded the availability of Claude Code, its AI-powered development environment, bringing it to the web and mobile platforms. Previously limited to desktop access through Claude.ai and API integrations, the new rollout allows developers to run and manage coding tasks directly in a browser or on mobile devices.
Claude Code is designed to help developers write, edit, and execute code across multiple files while maintaining conversational context. The web version introduces parallel job execution, allowing users to run several processes simultaneously. This makes it easier to test code, refactor large projects, or debug multiple scripts without switching between environments.
The environment supports a range of programming languages and frameworks, offering tools for file navigation, inline explanations, and error feedback. According to Anthropic, Claude Code maintains state across interactions, enabling it to handle multi-step development tasks that go beyond simple code generation.
The addition of web and mobile support also aligns Claude with similar tools like GitHub Copilot Workspace and AWS Kiro, both of which combine conversational interfaces with cloud-based development environments. While GitHub Copilot integrates tightly with Visual Studio Code, and AWS Kiro operates within AWS’s cloud ecosystem, Claude Code’s browser-first approach emphasizes flexibility and accessibility from any device.
Early developer feedback on social media and forums suggests that the expanded access makes Claude Code a practical alternative for those who prefer natural language workflows without needing local setup or plugin installations.
AI architect Nick Sebastian commented:
That’s a strong move. AI tools are evolving from assistants to co-developers. Delegating coding tasks directly in-browser is another step toward frictionless software creation — where devs focus on vision, not syntax.
Meanwhile frontend developer @Yeoul posted:
No more context switching between ide and terminal. This is how it should work.
This release reflects Anthropic’s continued effort to position Claude as a development companion rather than a standalone chatbot. By integrating Claude Code into the broader Claude ecosystem, developers can move between writing documentation, generating code, and executing tasks within a single conversational flow. This unified experience aims to reduce friction between coding and reasoning tasks, where the same model can explain, modify, and run code in context.
