Anthropic overhauled the Claude Code desktop app on April 14 and launched Routines in research preview. The new Mac and Windows app adds a multi-session sidebar, drag-and-drop panes, an integrated terminal, and an in-app file editor with HTML and PDF preview. Routines are saved Claude Code automations that run on Anthropic's cloud, no laptop required. Configure a routine once — prompt, repository context, connectors — then trigger it by cron schedule, an HTTP call, or a GitHub event like a PR opening. Daily caps run 5 routines for Pro, 15 for Max, and 25 for Team/Enterprise, with more available for purchase. Together, the release nudges Claude Code from a chat tool toward infrastructure — a personal engineer that keeps working while you're asleep.
