About
Anthropic's desktop app for Claude on macOS and Windows: one-click MCP connectors, Claude Code sessions from a GUI, file access, and voice — the mainstream way non-terminal users run agents.
What it does
A downloadable application that puts Anthropic's Claude assistant on a computer desktop, letting people chat, hand off coding tasks, and work across their files and other apps without opening a web browser or a command line terminal, with companion mobile apps for continuing tasks on the go.
