Anthropic has launched Claude Routines, a feature allowing users to schedule automated tasks within Claude Code. These routines run on Anthropic's cloud infrastructure, meaning they can operate even when a user's device is off. The feature, currently in research preview since April 14, 2026, is available across Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans and can be managed via the web interface, desktop app, or CLI. Routines are tied to individual user accounts and can be triggered by schedules, API calls, or GitHub events, with options for running shell commands and utilizing connectors, necessitating careful scoping of permissions.
