Why This Matters

Anthropic's addition of the 'repeatable routines' feature to Claude Code enhances automation capabilities by allowing tasks to run independently on web infrastructure, even offline. This development streamlines software development workflows and offers more flexible automation options for developers, impacting both the industry and end-users by improving efficiency and reliability.

Key Takeaways

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

Claude Code routines run on Anthropic’s web infrastructure

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 routine limits based on plan

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

Pro supports running 5 routines per day

Max supports running 15 routines per day
