Claude for Mac is Anthropic's desktop app for the Claude AI assistant. It stays in your Dock, opens from anywhere with Quick Entry, and can work with your local files and apps.

Key features:

Open Quick Entry from anywhere on your Mac to start a conversation.
Connect Claude to local files, browsers, and native apps with desktop extensions.
Use connectors for tools like Google Drive and Slack, and let Claude in Chrome navigate and fill forms in your browser.
Run Claude Code in the app to preview running servers, review local code changes, and track pull requests.
Pair it with the mobile app to hand a task from your phone to Claude Cowork on your Mac.
Pick up conversations, projects, memory, and preferences on desktop, web, and mobile.

The desktop app is available on every plan, including Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise, though some features need a paid plan. Organizations can deploy it with a PKG installer and control updates. Claude is also available for Windows, Linux (beta), and mobile.
