Recent Claude Code Features: What Changed and How to Use It

Computer use, recurring loops, and remote desktop control have expanded what Claude Code can do. This lesson covers the features that shipped in late 2025 and early 2026.

Computer Use: Claude controls your mouse and keyboard

Anthropic released Computer Use -- a feature that lets Claude Code take screenshots, move the mouse, click, and type across any desktop application.

Claude Code can now navigate interfaces it has never seen before. It takes a screenshot, reasons about what to click, clicks it, takes another screenshot, and continues. This lets it operate tools that have no API -- any desktop application with a UI.

Real example from the release: A developer told Claude Code to open OBS and start recording. Claude Code took a screenshot of the desktop, located OBS, opened it, identified the Start Recording button, and clicked it. The recording of that demo was started by Claude Code itself.

Current status:
- macOS only (desktop app required at time of writing)
- Research preview -- not yet in general availability
- Enable in: desktop app Settings > General > Computer Use
- Requires accessibility permissions (screen recording and others)

Dispatch: remote desktop control from anywhere

Combined with Computer Use, the Dispatch feature lets you control your local desktop remotely from your phone.

You are on the train. Your build needs checking. You send a message. Claude Code receives it, takes control of your local desktop, runs the check, and reports back.

The loop Command: recurring tasks without babysitting

Claude Code now supports scheduled recurring tasks within a session using the loop feature.

How it works:
- /loop every 10 minutes check my ClickUp for new tasks -- creates a cron job running every 10 minutes
- Maximum duration: 3 days per loop
- The session must stay open (no catch-up if the session closes)
- Natural language works: "every 5 minutes" or "every hour" both work correctly

What loops are good for:
- Monitoring a service and alerting you when something changes
- Running a recurring check on an interval and reporting results
- Reminders at specific times: "remind me at 3pm to follow up with the client"

Scheduled Tasks: long-running recurring automation

Where loops are session-bound and temporary, Scheduled Tasks are persistent.

  • Duration: Indefinite -- runs daily, weekly, or monthly with no time limit
  • Catch-up: If the system goes offline, tasks catch up on restart
  • Access: Currently available in the Claude Code desktop app

The distinction: /loop is "help me with this today." Scheduled Tasks are "do this every Monday morning indefinitely."

How to enable these features

Computer Use: Desktop app > Settings > General > Computer Use > enable > grant accessibility permissions when prompted

Loops: Available in terminal, VS Code extension, and desktop app. Type /loop [interval] [task] or describe it in natural language.

Scheduled Tasks: Desktop app only. Set up through the scheduling interface.
