I controlled my laptop from my phone
Howdy,
You're out. Maybe at the gym, maybe in a taxi. And you remember you forgot to reply to three emails and check your calendar.
Your laptop is at home. You're stuck.
That's what Dispatch fixes. Claude Cowork just dropped it.
You scan a QR code in the desktop app. Your phone connects to your computer. Anything Claude can do at your desk, you can now trigger from anywhere.
I tested it live. Asked it to pull a file from my desktop and read it back to me. Then I connected Notion and Gmail and told it to create a to-do list. Done in seconds.
The real power is browser automations. I told it to check my YouTube Studio analytics. Then I asked it to go through my inbox and draft responses. It handled 11 emails without me touching a thing.
Your laptop needs to stay open. I keep my Mac always-on just for this.
