How to connect Claude mobile and Claude desktop
Im trying to do something I feel should be extremely simple. I want to use my Claude mobile app, then get home, hop on my desktop and pick up where I left off. I have a pro plan, I have the desktop app installed. SOMETIMES cowork will bridge from mobile to desktop. And then in the same day it says no bridge exists. SOMETIMES I can use code across both. Then the connection will close and it won’t work unless I go to desktop, re-open a new chat, then I can use it that day. I really feel like the issue is ITS. (In the seat aka me) I have an option on my phone to set up “dispatch” but my desktop app tries to walk me through the steps to click stuff that don’t exist on desktop. I’m going nuts here. Last weekend I was getting my homelab set up and setting up VLANS. Now I can’t update a fucking daily brief because mobile says it doesn’t exist and desktop says it’s all good. I’ve got an obsidian vault set up, works just fine at home. I’m just trying to add notes or to dos through out the day. Typically basic stuff. And then when I do want to run updates or look into my lab, sometimes it works. Please help. End rant.
