Claude is an artificial intelligence, trained by Anthropic using Constitutional AI to be safe, accurate, and secure – your trusted assistant to do your best work. You can use Claude for personal use or create a team account for your colleagues.
The desktop app provides access to Claude's writing, analysis, and coding capabilities in a native interface, with support for file uploads, better context handling, and cross-platform consistency, making it easier to work with the assistant outside of the browser.
Do I need a paid plan to use the desktop or mobile apps?
No, Claude AI apps are available in all package types, including free and paid (Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise).
What is the difference between the desktop app and using Claude in the browser?
The desktop app is always accessible from your home screen and includes quick access from anywhere on your system. There are also desktop extensions to connect Claude to your local tools and files.
Can I use the same account on computer, web and mobile?
Yes. Your conversations, projects, memory, and preferences are synced across all your devices when you're signed in.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
