Claudee for Desktop](/tools/claude-for-desktop/) now has a community plugin that turns each of your Claude projects into a standalone dock app on Mac. Instead of opening the app, navigating to your projects list, and selecting the one you want, you click a dedicated dock icon and land directly in that project.
The motivation is straightforward. Heavy Claude users typically maintain multiple projects - one for coding tasks, one for client work, one for research - and switching between them means navigating the same interface repeatedly. If you're moving between a coding project and a writing project a dozen times a day, that friction adds up. The plugin gives each project its own Mac dock presence, the same way you'd keep separate apps open for entirely different purposes.
Built by a community developer and available on GitHub, this is an unofficial plugin - Anthropic didn't build it and doesn't support it. That means it could break when Claude for Desktop updates its underlying structure. The developer posted it publicly this week, so real-world testing is minimal at this point.
For Mac users who already live in Claude projects throughout their workday, it's worth testing. Just don't anchor a critical workflow to an unsupported plugin before it's had a few months of stability testing under real conditions.
