As a Cowork user, I'd like to access my desktop Claude conversations and sessions from the mobile Dispatch interface.

Root Cause

As a Cowork user, I'd like to access my desktop Claude conversations and sessions from the mobile Dispatch interface.

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

As a Cowork user, I'd like to access my desktop Claude conversations and sessions from the mobile Dispatch interface.

I often work on programming and other tasks from my PC during the day. Later, when I'm away from the computer, I'd like to check in on what we were working on, ask follow-up questions, or pick up the thread from my phone through Dispatch.

Right now each conversation is siloed to the device where it started. Dispatch on mobile begins every session blank and has no visibility into desktop conversations or Claude Code sessions running on the PC.

Summary

As a Cowork user, I'd like to access my desktop Claude conversations and sessions from the mobile Dispatch interface.

Use case

I often work on programming and other tasks from my PC during the day. Later, when I'm away from the computer, I'd like to check in on what we were working on, ask follow-up questions, or pick up the thread from my phone through Dispatch.

Right now each conversation is siloed to the device where it started. Dispatch on mobile begins every session blank and has no visibility into desktop conversations or Claude Code sessions running on the PC.

Suggested behavior

  • Mobile Dispatch shows a list of recent desktop conversations (regular chats and Claude Code sessions).
  • Tapping one lets me read the transcript.
  • Optionally: continue the conversation from mobile, syncing back to the desktop session.

Why it matters

The whole point of mobile access is continuity. Without shared history between devices, Dispatch on the phone is a separate tool rather than an extension of the work I'm already doing on my PC.


Note: I'm aware this repo is for the Claude Code CLI and the request is really about Cowork/Dispatch — filing here anyway, knowing it may be redirected.

extent analysis

TL;DR

To achieve continuity between desktop and mobile conversations, consider implementing a synchronization mechanism to share conversation history between devices.

Guidance

  • Investigate the current data storage and synchronization mechanisms used by Cowork and Dispatch to identify potential avenues for sharing conversation data between devices.
  • Explore the possibility of using a centralized data storage solution, such as a cloud-based database, to store conversation history and sync it across devices.
  • Determine the required changes to the Dispatch mobile interface to display a list of recent desktop conversations and allow users to read transcripts and continue conversations.
  • Consider the security and authentication implications of sharing conversation data between devices and ensure that any solution prioritizes user privacy and data protection.

Notes

The implementation details will depend on the specific technologies and architectures used by Cowork and Dispatch, which are not specified in the issue. A deeper understanding of the existing infrastructure and technical requirements will be necessary to develop a comprehensive solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by exploring alternative synchronization mechanisms, such as using a third-party service or developing a custom solution, to share conversation history between devices. This approach allows for a more flexible and potentially faster implementation, but may require additional development and testing efforts.
