Code Without Opening Your Terminal

Today marks a significant milestone in AI-powered development. Claude Code on the web is now available in beta as a research preview, bringing cloud-based coding capabilities directly to your browser. No terminal required, no local setup needed—just connect your GitHub repositories and start delegating complex coding tasks.

This isn't just about convenience. It's about fundamentally changing how development teams work, enabling parallel task execution, mobile coding, and seamless integration with your existing workflows.

Revolutionary Parallel Development

Run Multiple Tasks Simultaneously

For the first time, you can run multiple coding tasks in parallel across different repositories from a single interface. While Claude fixes bugs in your frontend repository, another instance can simultaneously:

  • Optimize database queries in your backend
  • Update documentation across multiple projects
  • Implement new API endpoints
  • Refactor legacy code components
Traditional Development Claude Code on the Web
One task at a time Multiple parallel tasks
Local environment only Cloud-based execution
Desktop-bound Work from anywhere
Manual PR creation Automatic PR generation

Ship Faster with Intelligent Automation

Every completed task automatically generates pull requests with clear change summaries and real-time progress tracking. You maintain full visibility and control while Claude handles the implementation details.

"Claude Code on the web has transformed our development velocity. We're shipping features 3x faster by running parallel tasks while maintaining code quality." — Senior Engineering Manager, Tech Startup

Perfect for Every Development Scenario

Bug Backlogs: Clear Them in Parallel

Instead of tackling bugs one by one, delegate your entire backlog:

Task 1: Fix memory leak in user session management
Task 2: Resolve CSS layout issues on mobile devices  
Task 3: Update deprecated API calls in payment module
Task 4: Optimize image loading performance

Claude Code executes all tasks simultaneously, each in its isolated environment, with progress visible in real-time.

Routine Maintenance: Automate the Mundane

Perfect for well-defined, repetitive tasks:

  • Dependency updates across multiple repositories
  • Code style standardization following team guidelines
  • Documentation generation from code comments
  • Test coverage improvements for legacy modules

Backend Development: Test-Driven Excellence

Claude Code excels at backend changes by leveraging test-driven development:

  1. Analyze existing tests to understand expected behavior
  2. Implement changes while maintaining compatibility
  3. Run comprehensive test suites to verify correctness
  4. Generate new tests for edge cases and new functionality

Mobile Development Revolution

Code on the Go with iOS Support

As part of this research preview, Claude Code is now available on iOS. This means you can:

  • Review and approve PRs during commutes
  • Delegate urgent bug fixes from anywhere
  • Monitor parallel task progress on mobile
  • Start new coding sessions without a laptop

While it's an early preview, the mobile experience opens entirely new possibilities for development team workflows.

Real-World Mobile Use Cases

  • Emergency bug fixes during off-hours
  • Code reviews while traveling
  • Task delegation from client meetings
  • Progress monitoring during long-running tasks

Enterprise-Grade Security

Sandboxed Cloud Execution

Every Claude Code task runs in a completely isolated sandbox environment with:

  • Network restrictions: Only authorized domains accessible
  • Filesystem isolation: No cross-task contamination
  • Secure Git proxy: Repository access through protected channels
  • Credential protection: Your tokens never leave secure infrastructure

Custom Network Configuration

You control exactly what Claude Code can access:

{
  "allowedDomains": [
    "registry.npmjs.org",
    "pypi.org", 
    "api.github.com",
    "your-internal-api.company.com"
  ],
  "blockedDomains": [
    "social-media-sites.com",
    "entertainment-platforms.com"
  ]
}

This enables Claude to download packages and run tests while maintaining strict security boundaries.

Flexible Integration with Existing Workflows

Complement Your Current Setup

Claude Code on the web doesn't replace your existing development environment—it enhances it:

Use Case Best Tool Why
Complex architectural changes Local Claude Code + VS Code Full IDE integration
Bug fixes and routine tasks Claude Code on the web Parallel execution
Mobile code reviews Claude Code iOS app Work from anywhere
Exploratory development Local environment Immediate feedback

When to Choose Web vs. Local

Choose Claude Code on the web for:

  • Multiple parallel tasks
  • Well-defined bug fixes
  • Routine maintenance work
  • Mobile development needs
  • Team collaboration scenarios

Choose local Claude Code for:

  • Complex architectural decisions
  • Real-time collaboration
  • Immediate feedback loops
  • Experimental development

Advanced Parallel Development Patterns

Repository Orchestration

Coordinate changes across multiple repositories:

Main Task: Implement new authentication system
├── Frontend Repo: Update login components
├── Backend Repo: Implement OAuth endpoints  
├── Mobile App: Add biometric authentication
└── Documentation: Update API specifications

Each repository task runs independently while maintaining coordination through shared context and automatic PR linking.

Feature Development Pipeline

Build complete features with parallel specialization:

Feature: Real-time Chat System
├── WebSocket Implementation (Backend Team)
├── React Components (Frontend Team)
├── Mobile UI (Mobile Team)
├── Database Schema (Data Team)
└── Load Testing (DevOps Team)

Getting Started in Minutes

Step 1: Connect Your Repositories

  1. Visit claude.com/code
  2. Authenticate with GitHub
  3. Select repositories for Claude Code access
  4. Configure network permissions (optional)

Step 2: Delegate Your First Task

Fix the memory leak in the user session management module. 
The issue appears to be in src/auth/session-manager.ts where 
event listeners aren't being properly cleaned up.

Please:
1. Identify the root cause
2. Implement a proper cleanup mechanism  
3. Add tests to prevent regression
4. Update documentation if needed

Step 3: Monitor and Iterate

  • Real-time progress tracking shows current status
  • Interactive steering lets you adjust course mid-task
  • Automatic PR creation with detailed change summaries
  • Parallel task management from unified dashboard

Best Practices for Web-Based Development

Task Definition Guidelines

Effective Task Descriptions:

✅ "Fix the pagination bug in the user dashboard where clicking 
   'Next' on page 10+ returns to page 1. The issue is likely 
   in components/UserDashboard.tsx around line 145."

❌ "Fix pagination bug"

Parallel Task Coordination:

✅ Task 1: Update API endpoints (backend)
   Task 2: Update frontend components (frontend) 
   Task 3: Update mobile app (mobile)
   Context: All tasks implement new user preferences feature

❌ Three separate tasks with no coordination context

Security Best Practices

  1. Repository Permissions: Grant access only to necessary repositories
  2. Network Configuration: Whitelist only required domains
  3. Regular Audits: Review access logs monthly
  4. Team Training: Ensure all team members understand security boundaries
