Anthropic Rebuilds Claude Code Desktop App Around Parallel Sessions:

Anthropic has released a redesigned Claude Code experience for its Claude desktop app, bringing in a new sidebar for managing multiple sessions, a drag-and-drop layout for arranging the workspace, and more.

I’ve been testing the new fat client and found it to be familiar yet overwhelming. It’s taking the shape of a full IDE. Monolithic clients aren’t getting the favor of people apparently but I prefer this approach over separate apps.
