Claude is an artificial intelligence, trained by Anthropic using Constitutional AI to be safe, accurate, and secure - the trusted assistant for you to do your best work. You can use Claude for your own personal use or create a Team account to collaborate with your teammates.
The desktop app provides access to Claude's writing, analysis, and coding capabilities in a native interface, with support for file uploads, longer context handling, and cross-platform consistency, making it easier to work with the assistant outside the browser.
Do I need a paid plan to use the desktop or mobile apps?
No, apps for Claude AI are available to all plan types including free and paid (Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise).
What's the difference between the desktop app and using Claude in my browser?
The desktop app is always accessible from your dock and includes quick entry for instant access from anywhere in your system. You also get desktop extensions to connect Claude with your local tools and files.
Can I use the same account across desktop, web, and mobile?
Yes. Your conversations, projects, memory, and preferences sync across all devices when you're signed in.
How do I connect Claude to my tools?
Connectors allow Claude to work with tools like your apps and databases. Web-based connectors like Google Drive and Slack work wherever you're using Claude - web, desktop, or mobile. On mobile, Claude can also connect to device-specific apps like Maps and iMessage. The desktop app also supports desktop extensions, which are locally installed and provide access to your local file systems, browsers, and native applications.

What's New
Today we're launching Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class1 model that we've made safe for general use.
Fable 5's capabilities exceed those of any model we've ever made generally available. It is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks of AI capability, showing exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and many other areas. The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5's lead over our other models.
Releasing a model this capable comes with risks. Without safeguards, Fable 5's capabilities in areas like cybersecurity could be misused to cause serious damage. We've therefore launched the model with safeguards that mean queries on some topics will instead receive a response from our next-most-capable model, Claude Opus 4.8. To release the model both safely and quickly, we've tuned these safeguards conservatively-they'll sometimes catch harmless requests, though they trigger, on average, in less than 5% of sessions. With more capable models arriving in the coming months, we're working to improve our safeguards and reduce false positives as quickly as we can.
For a small group of cyberdefenders and infrastructure providers, we're also launching Claude Mythos 5. It's the same underlying model as Fable 5, but with the safeguards lifted in some areas.2 Mythos 5 will initially be deployed through Project Glasswing, in collaboration with the US government, as an upgrade to Claude Mythos Preview. It has the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model in the world. Soon, we intend to expand access to Mythos 5 through a broader trusted access program.
The capabilities of models like Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have the potential to do profound good for the world. We've seen the beginnings of this in Project Glasswing, where the models have helped cyber defenders secure critically important software. We've also seen it in life sciences research, where the models are positing novel hypotheses and speeding up the development of new therapeutics.
Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are being offered at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens-less than half the price of Claude Mythos Preview. Today's joint launch is another step towards our goal of bringing advanced AI capabilities to as many users as possible, as quickly and as safely as we can.
