Claude Dispatch + Computer Use — Phone-to-Mac Async Delegation
Summary¶
Claude Dispatch pairs your phone with your Mac for async task delegation. You assign work from your phone, Claude runs it on your desktop using Computer Use (screen interaction), and you come back to finished results. Requires a paid Claude plan (Pro/Max) and two devices (Mac + phone). Setup takes ~10 minutes.
Key Details¶
- Dispatch creates a persistent conversation accessible from phone and desktop
- Computer Use lets Claude interact with your Mac's screen (click, type, navigate apps)
- Works with any app — no API or integration required
- Requires macOS, paid Claude plan, and latest Claude Desktop + mobile app
- Companion prompt kit provides structured delegation workflows (open loop audit, dispatch briefs, scheduled tasks)
Why Rolf Thinks This Matters¶
Interesting but premature for VisiTrans. We don't have clear use cases yet where phone-to-Mac delegation would be more efficient than our existing Claude Code workflows. Worth keeping as reference for when Computer Use matures and we identify specific tasks that benefit from async delegation.
