Anthropic Redesigns Claude Code Desktop with Multi-Session Workflows and Scheduled Routines

Anthropic has comprehensively rebuilt Claude Code's desktop application to enable parallel development workflows, shipping major features including multi-session management, integrated cloud-based task scheduling, and drag-and-drop workspace customization as of April 14, 2026. The redesigned app introduces a sidebar-based session manager that lets developers work across multiple repositories simultaneously while maintaining full Git isolation between projects, alongside an integrated terminal, file editor, and enhanced diff viewer optimized for large changesets. Each pane—chat, code review, terminal, file editor, browser—is drag-and-drop customizable, and developers can toggle between three interface density modes (Verbose, Normal, Summary) to control how much of Claude's tool-calling activity appears on screen.
