Summary
Anthropic has announced session mobility for Claude, a feature that allows users to seamlessly transfer their AI conversation sessions across different platforms and devices. Users can now move active CLI sessions into the desktop app using the /desktop command, or push sessions to the cloud to continue them on web or mobile devices. This update is part of Claude Code on desktop, which is available for both macOS and Windows platforms.
The session mobility feature addresses a common pain point in AI-assisted workflows: the need to maintain context and continuity when switching between devices or platforms. Whether a user starts a coding session on their desktop, needs to review it on their phone during a commute, or wants to continue the conversation from a web browser, Claude now maintains the full conversation history and context across all touchpoints.
This announcement comes alongside Anthropic's broader push to make Claude more integrated into users' daily workflows through its desktop app and Cowork feature. The company is positioning Claude as an always-available AI assistant that can work with local files, tools, and various applications. The session mobility feature is available to all Claude Code desktop users and represents Anthropic's continued effort to reduce friction in AI-assisted work.
- Session mobility complements Claude's existing desktop features including Cowork, which provides agentic capabilities for working with local files and tools
