Claude Orbit extends Claude's computer-use capability to mobile devices. Where Claude Cowork lets Claude operate a macOS desktop, Orbit goes further — acting directly from your phone.
Claude can tap, type, and navigate apps on your iPhone or Android just like you would — without needing a desktop computer.
Delegate phone calls to Claude. It can call ahead to confirm reservations, follow up on orders, or handle routine check-ins on your behalf.
Claude can draft and send SMS, WhatsApp, or iMessage threads based on your instructions — keeping your contacts in the loop while you focus.
Queue up tasks from your desktop via Claude Dispatch and have Orbit execute them on mobile — a true mobile-to-desktop workflow loop.
Getting Claude Orbit up and running takes just a few minutes. Here's the setup flow once the feature launches.
Sign in with your existing Claude Pro or Team account. Orbit will be available as an add-on capability once you're enrolled in the research preview.
Download the Claude Orbit companion app on iOS or Android. This grants Claude the device permissions it needs to act on your behalf.
Choose exactly which apps Claude can access — contacts, messages, phone, calendar — and set time-of-day restrictions to keep Claude in bounds.
Type or speak a task in natural language. Claude Orbit interprets your intent and carries it out, then reports back with a summary of what it did.
From quick errands to multi-step workflows, Orbit handles the mobile tasks that eat up your day.
Ask Claude to find a free slot, text a contact to coordinate, and add the event to your calendar — all in one instruction.
Claude can place orders in your preferred apps, monitor delivery status, and notify you when something changes.
Stop forgetting to reply. Give Claude a list of people to follow up with and let it handle the back-and-forth.
Claude scans your notifications and surfaces only what's genuinely urgent — the rest gets handled or dismissed.
Claude Orbit is designed to work on modern mobile hardware. Here's what you'll need when it launches.
Orbit is a powerful capability, and Anthropic is approaching it carefully. Here's how safety is handled.
You control exactly which apps, contacts, and device features Claude can access. Permissions can be revoked at any time.
Every action Claude takes is logged in plain language. Review, audit, or undo at any time from the activity feed.
One tap pauses all Orbit activity instantly. Claude will always ask before taking irreversible actions like sending messages or making purchases.
Orbit processes instructions through Anthropic's secure infrastructure. Sensitive content like passwords or payment info is never stored or read.
