title: Claude Desktop
|
||||
description: Use Ollama models in Claude on macOS.
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Claude Desktop is no longer supported by `ollama launch`.
|
||||
|
||||
Existing installations can be restored to the usual Claude profile:
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- [Ollama](https://ollama.com/download/). Windows support coming soon.
|
||||
- To use a local model, [download it](/quickstart#3-start-a-chat) before setup.
|
||||
- To use a cloud model, sign in to Ollama and enable cloud models. Some models require a [paid plan](https://ollama.com/pricing).
|
||||
|
||||
If Claude is not installed, Ollama offers to download it during setup.
|
||||
|
||||
## Set up Claude
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open Ollama and select **Apps**.
|
||||
2. Toggle Claude to On.
|
||||
3. If Claude is not installed, Ollama will download and finish the installation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Switch models
|
||||
|
||||
Open Ollama **Settings**. Under **Apps**, choose a model you want to use, then select **Restart Claude**. You can assign the same Ollama model to more than one option.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Subagents** - Split larger tasks across agents
|
||||
- **Web search** - Supported by default through [Ollama's web search](/capabilities/web-search)
|
||||
- **Cowork** - Complete difficult tasks with Claude Cowork
|
||||
- **Auto mode** - Let the agent decide when to ask before making changes
|
||||
|
||||
## Disconnect Claude
|
||||
|
||||
Open Ollama **Apps** and turn Claude off. Ollama restores Claude's previous configuration. If Claude is open, Ollama asks to restart it so the change takes effect.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also restore Claude from the terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
ollama launch claude-desktop --restore
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use [Claude Code](/integrations/claude-code) for Anthropic-compatible coding workflows with Ollama.
|
||||
Quitting Ollama while Claude is connected also restores Claude's usual configuration.
