Claude Code on Desktop: A Guide to the New Interface

The Claude Code desktop app got substantial upgrades and a new interface, useful well beyond coding. Eight chapters, each checked against Anthropic's documentation and a real Windows screen: the session panel, side chats, split view, Projects, Artifacts, four new commands and Mods.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Side chats with Ctrl+; and split view: where each one lives on Windows, and what to know before you close the app
• Projects versus a regular session: who gets it, what keeps running in the cloud with the laptop closed, and an English prompt for splitting a project
• Artifacts and Mods: a dashboard with live data, who can use Motion, and how to ask Claude to build a mod without writing code
