Claude for Desktop

I am a solo founder building a UK live-music marketplace and Claude for Desktop is the tool I open before my IDE most mornings. What sets it apart from the browser version isn't a feature, it's the friction it removes, global hotkey, file drops, stays out of the way, doesn't make me babysit a tab.

Projects plus the long context window mean I can keep real working memory of the codebase across sessions instead

Claude spends a bit too much time thinking these days and it's been a little less intelligent it seems lately but I have been managing Claude with Codex, which seems to help but everything takes twice as long.

What I would love next would be more connectors and more autonomous workflows, then I won't need to consider anything else.

Love the fact I can have several different workspaces and modes in the app – I can switch between accounts, between chat, cowork and code easily.
