Claude Desktop is the native macOS and Windows application for Anthropic's AI, integrating Claude directly into your workflow for immediate access and local file system operations.

Claude Desktop is your dedicated AI workspace for macOS and Windows. It moves Anthropic's Claude out of the browser and into your system for immediate access (via shortcut) and deeper integration. You can drag-and-drop files like PDFs or spreadsheets directly into the chat for instant summarization or editing. Utilizing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the app gains local file system awareness, allowing Claude to work directly with your documents and codebases. This native application is built for speed and high-volume analysis, providing essential features like screenshot sharing and voice input on Mac, ensuring the AI is always a click away from solving your next problem.
