This video reviews a major Claude desktop app update that exposes project file structure, renders Markdown plans and outputs, and enables multiple parallel sessions and split views. The presenter compares the desktop to terminal workflows, explains benefits for agentic operating systems (context-rich project folders), and notes current limitations (PNG rendering, hidden skills, and environment variable edits).
– Multiple parallel sessions & split view: Run up to four independent sessions, view plans side-by-side and arrange windows by drag-and-drop.
– Visible project file structure: Access and preview Markdown outputs and context files directly in the desktop app, tying sessions to specific client folders.
– Context-aware workflows: Work inside an agentic operating system-style folder to load brand, project and agent context into sessions for consistent outputs.
– Current limitations: PNGs may render as code, skills folders remain hidden, and environment variables/credentials cannot yet be edited in-app.
Quotes:
Holy smokes — I did not expect to be making this video today.
You can actually see and interact with the files.
Run up to four sessions at once in split view and keep everything tied to the right context.
