Claude Adds Reflect: A Monthly Recap and Usage Dashboard for How You Use Claude
Anthropic introduced Reflect, a beta dashboard in Claude's Settings that shows a monthly recap of when you use Claude most and what you worked on, with quiet hours and break nudges. It runs only when memory is on, covers Free, Pro, and Max but not Team or Enterprise, and skips incognito chats, health integrations, Cowork, and Claude Code.
Claude Desktop for Linux Beta: Ubuntu and Debian, With Caveats
Anthropic shipped a beta of the Claude desktop app for Linux on Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 12+ (x86_64 or arm64). It gives the same Chat, Cowork, and Claude Code experience as macOS and Windows on all paid plans. Install via Anthropic's apt repo to get updates -- the app does not self-update, and a raw .deb install gets no updates. Computer Use and Dictation are not in the Linux beta yet, and only Debian-based distros are supported today.
Claude Science Beta: An AI Workbench for Reproducible Research
Anthropic launched Claude Science in public beta -- a research environment, not a model. It runs analyses, queries 60+ scientific databases, and traces every step from data wrangling to publication, with code, environment, and conversation provenance attached to each artifact. It runs on your own infrastructure (laptop, HPC, GPU clusters) and submits jobs over SSH to your own machines or HPC clusters, or through a Modal account. Available now on macOS and Linux for Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.
Cursor for iOS: Cloud Agents Go Mobile-First in Public Beta
Cursor shipped a native iOS app in public beta on all paid plans. It launches always-on cloud agents that run in isolated VMs with full dev environments, work asynchronously toward merge-ready PRs, and report back via Live Activities and push notifications. You can also remote-control agents on your computer, pick any frontier model, use voice and slash commands, review diffs and demos, leave follow-ups, and merge PRs from the phone. Composer 2.5 runs are 75% off in the app through July 5, 2026.
