Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop is the native desktop application for Claude (Anthropic’s AI assistant) on macOS and Windows (x64, arm64). It combines chat, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code in a single window. It provides quick access from the dock and desktop extensions that let Claude work with local files, applications, and the browser. Conversations, projects, and memory sync across devices (web, mobile, desktop).

The app is available across all Claude plans (Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise). It supports enterprise deployment via MSIX (Windows) and PKG (macOS) installers with SSO and version control. Linux is not officially supported. Mobile apps (iOS, Android) pair with the desktop to hand off tasks.
