Claude Code desktop app gets background computer use on macOS, Pro/Max beta
ClaudeDevs · x · 2026-09-03
Computer use in the Claude Code desktop app now runs in the background: Claude works in the apps you've allowed while you keep working. It's on by default if you've used computer use before, or can be enabled in Settings > General. Available in beta on Pro and Max plans, macOS only.
