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), with Chat, Cowork, and Claude Code on all paid plans. The app does not self-update; updates arrive through apt, and as of August 2026 a directly installed .deb registers the repo itself. Computer Use and Dictation are missing.
Claude Science Beta: An AI Workbench for Reproducible Research
Claude Science is Anthropic's beta research app, not a model. It runs Python and R analyses in a local sandbox, queries 60+ scientific databases, submits jobs over SSH or to Modal, and attaches code, environment, and conversation provenance to every artifact. As of September 2026 it runs on macOS, Windows, 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.
