Claude Gains the Power of Stealth: Background Computer Use Arrives on macOS
Anthropic has launched a notable update for Claude Code on macOS, introducing the ability for its computer use feature to operate in the background. This update allows the AI model to perform complex system-level tasks and navigate the desktop environment autonomously without requiring the window to remain in the foreground. By shifting these operations to the background, users can maintain their productivity in other apps while Claude handles coding and system interactions silently, marking a significant step forward in AI-driven desktop automation.
