Anthropic is working on a new feature called Hub Mode, recently spotted in its mobile app. The option is marked as internal, suggesting it remains under internal testing and has not been released more broadly.
Hub Mode appears next to a planet icon. A similar icon previously appeared under the name Orbit before being removed, raising the possibility that Hub Mode is a new version of the same concept. The current description says the mode will apply to new tasks and requires users to restart the app after activation. However, enabling it did not produce any visible changes on our side, suggesting that the underlying functionality is not yet operational.
The only related reference on the web appears within Claude Code. Opening the Hub destination leads to an interface containing a list of sub-agents. Selecting one opens a page stating that Claude will generate a task board for the user and their agents. No other functional details are currently visible.
This could point to a new interface for managing agents or sub-agents, potentially resembling the recently released Grok Bot, where users can create multiple specialized agents. However, there is no confirmed connection between Hub Mode in the Claude mobile app and the Hub interface found in Claude Code on the web.
For Anthropic, such a feature would fit its broader push toward agent-based workflows across Claude Code, Cowork, and collaborative projects. If the two Hub references are connected, users could eventually receive a central place to launch tasks, monitor specialized agents, and coordinate their work. For now, its exact purpose, limitations, target users, and release timeline remain unclear.
