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.
