How to Let Claude Use Your Computer Remotely with Dispatch

This guide teaches you how to use Dispatch to hand Claude a task from your phone or desktop and have it finish the work on your computer. You will set up Dispatch, pair it with your phone, and run a simple remote task so small admin work can keep moving while you are away from your desk.

• Operators and chiefs of staff who want inbox cleanup, file organization, or quick recaps handled while they are moving between meetings
• Founders and solo operators who switch between phone and desktop and want one continuous thread instead of restarting the task every time
• Anyone testing Cowork seriously who wants a safe first workflow for remote computer use before handing Claude bigger jobs

You will build one repeatable Dispatch workflow for remote computer use. The workflow can be reused for tasks like email cleanup, file organization, or an end-of-day work summary.

• A working Dispatch setup in Claude Desktop
• A paired Claude mobile app connection
• A tested first remote task Claude can run on your computer
• A repeatable pattern for reviewing what Claude did and where it saved results

• A Claude Pro plan or higher
• The latest Claude Desktop app
• The latest Claude iOS app
• The Claude in Chrome extension installed and logged in
• Optional: a dedicated local project folder for your first run

• Once the basic workflow is working, reuse Dispatch for practical situations where you are away from your desk, such as opening your calendar, meeting notes, and Zoom before a virtual meeting, or preparing a report of the emails and Slack messages you missed during lunch and opening it on your desktop.
