Claude now has a dedicated AI Mac app from Anthropic

The Mac’s AI announcement week continues on. Apple doesn’t have any new AI-ready Macs to announce today, but instead we’re getting a dedicated Mac app from one of the biggest AI players. Claude is now available in a Mac app from Anthropic.

Claude macOS app joins existing iOS app

It’s been an especially big week for the Mac and AI. There was a new macOS Sequoia update with the first Apple Intelligence features, then Apple launched the first three M4 Macs packing powerful AI-ready chips, and yesterday ChatGPT brought the advanced voice feature to its Mac app.

Now, Claude is available in a dedicated Mac app. You can even get it for Windows.

The news was announced by Anthropic on X.

The Claude app is marked a beta, but it’s available for anyone to download and use. Whether you have a free or paid Claude plan, the app is available now.

Claude’s macOS app enables easy access to Anthropic’s AI assistant, and its most recent Claude 3.5 Sonnet flagship model.

As someone who religiously closes browser tabs, I’m always glad to see another web-based service offer a dedicated app.

Anthropic had already made an iOS app for Claude available, but it’s great to see the Mac benefit from a standalone app too.
