Anthropic adds 'repeatable routines' feature to Claude Code, here's how it works - 9to5Mac

Anthropic's Claude Code has a new repeatable routines feature that works even when your Mac is offline.

Claude Code routines are automations that you schedule and repeat. They run on Claude Code's web infrastructure, so your Mac doesn't need to be online for each task.

Anthropic says the new feature arrives today as a research preview.

Developers already use Claude Code to automate the software development cycle, but until now, they've managed cron jobs, infrastructure, and additional tooling like MCP servers themselves. Routines ship with access to your repos and your connectors, so you can package up automations and set them to run on a schedule or trigger.

Example use cases include scheduled tasks, API workflows, and GitHub routines.

Claude Code routines are available for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users with these limits:

Separately, Anthropic gave developers another new way to use Claude Code last month with auto mode. Meanwhile, Claude Cowork recently graduated from research preview with the addition of new enterprise features.
