43Create a routine from the web at [claude.ai/code/routines](https://claude.ai/code/routines), from the Desktop app, or from the CLI. All three surfaces write to the same cloud account, so a routine you create in one shows up in the others immediately. In the Desktop app, click **Routines** in the sidebar, then **New routine**, and choose **Cloud**; choosing **Local** instead creates a [Desktop scheduled task](/docs/en/desktop-scheduled-tasks), which runs on your machine rather than in the cloud.
