Claude Desktop Client for Your Mac

Use Claude and other AIs with ease on your Mac, iPhone & iPad.

Como visto en

Fello AI is a powerful macOS and iOS AI client that lets you chat with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and more in one clean app, with image generation, file analysis, and multi-device support.

Why Use Claude as a Desktop App?

Claude is Anthropic’s family of AI models, and it is the one many people trust for careful reasoning, long-form writing, and serious coding help. The lineup runs from Haiku for fast everyday tasks, to Sonnet as the balanced default, up to Opus for the hardest work, with a top frontier tier sitting above them. Claude is known for staying on topic, handling long documents well, and writing in a clean, thoughtful style.

Anthropic does ship an official Claude desktop app for Mac, and it is free to start, so you can pin Claude to your dock and skip the browser. The catch is that it gives you Claude and only Claude. If you already rely on more than one AI, you end up juggling separate apps and separate subscriptions for each model you want to use.

That is the gap Fello AI fills. It puts Claude alongside ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek in one native app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, so you can pick the right model for each task without switching tools or paying for several plans at once.

How to Use Claude on Your Mac

Opción 1: Usar Fello AI

Fello AI is the easiest way to use Claude on a Mac when you also want other models on hand. There is nothing to configure and no separate subscriptions to manage. You get Claude next to ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek in one native app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

How it works:

  • Download Fello AI from the App Store
  • Open the app on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad
  • Pick Claude, or any other model that fits the task
  • Start chatting, uploading files, searching the web, or creating documents

Why this option makes the most sense:

  • One app instead of a separate subscription for every AI model
  • Access to Claude plus other top AI models in one workflow
  • Works on macOS 12 or later, including Intel Macs
  • Available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad
  • Supports PDFs, images, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files
  • Creates real downloadable PPTX, XLSX, DOCX, and PDF files
  • Available through the App Store, starting at $9.99/month with a free tier

This is the strongest option if you want Claude to be part of a wider AI toolkit rather than a single-model app.

Option 2: Using the Official Claude Desktop App

Anthropic offers a real native Claude app for macOS. You download it from claude.com/download, open it from your Applications folder, and sign in. It runs on macOS 11 Big Sur or later and works on every plan, including the free one.

Why people choose it:

  • First-party app, straight from Anthropic
  • Free to start, with quick access from your dock
  • Full Claude features, including Claude Code and Cowork on paid plans

Limitations:

  • You only get Claude, so any other model means another app and another subscription
  • Heavier daily use pushes you toward Pro at $20/month or Max from $100/month
  • No built-in way to compare Claude’s answer with ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok side by side

This is the right pick if Claude is the only AI you use and you want it straight from the source.

Option 3: Using Claude in a Web Browser

You can also just use Claude at claude.ai in any browser, with no install at all. It is the same Claude, free to start, and handy if you are on a locked-down or borrowed Mac.

Why people choose it:

  • Nothing to download and no account setup beyond signing in
  • Free for everyday questions
  • Works on any Mac, old or new

Why it is weaker:

  • It lives in a browser tab instead of a real Mac app
  • You are still limited to a single model
  • No multi-model comparison and no unified document workflow

How Does Claude Compare to Other AIs?

Claude’s edge is careful reasoning and clean writing over long documents, which is why it is popular for research, drafting, and code review. Here is how it stacks up against the other models you can use on a Mac, and where each one wins.

Claude vs ChatGPT

ChatGPT is the broader consumer all-rounder, with image generation, voice, and a huge feature set built in. Claude is the sharper writer and reasoner, calmer and more consistent on long, detailed tasks, though it leans less into flashy extras.

Practical takeaway:

  • Use ChatGPT for the most complete, feature-packed assistant
  • Use Claude for careful writing, reasoning, and long documents

ChatGPT is the all-rounder. Claude is the thoughtful specialist.

Claude vs Gemini

Gemini is tightly woven into Google’s apps and is strong on multimodal tasks and very large context. Claude is the stronger prose writer and tends to be more cautious and precise, which many people prefer for professional work.

Practical takeaway:

  • Use Gemini inside Google apps and for multimodal work
  • Use Claude for polished writing and dependable reasoning

Gemini is the Google native. Claude is the careful writer.

Claude vs Grok

Grok leans into real-time posts from X and a looser, more opinionated voice, plus its own image and video generation. Claude is the more professional, buttoned-up option, better suited to serious writing and work you need to trust.

Practical takeaway:

  • Use Grok for real-time social pulse and creative play
  • Use Claude for professional, high-trust writing and analysis

Grok is the commentator. Claude is the professional.

Claude vs DeepSeek

DeepSeek is a strong open-weight model, cheap to run and good at math and coding, and it can even run locally on a capable Mac. Claude is the more polished product, with better long-form writing and no setup, while DeepSeek wins on raw cost for heavy reasoning.

Practical takeaway:

  • Use DeepSeek for low-cost heavy reasoning
  • Use Claude for polished writing with zero setup

DeepSeek is the budget workhorse. Claude is the refined all-rounder.

Claude vs Llama

Llama is Meta’s open-weight family that you can download and run yourself for free. Claude is closed, but it is the stronger writer and reasoner out of the box, with nothing to install or maintain.

Practical takeaway:

  • Use Llama for an open model you can host and control
  • Use Claude for top-tier writing and reasoning with no setup

Llama is the open toolkit. Claude is the ready-made expert.

Use All of Them in One App

The honest reality is that no single AI model is best at everything. The most effective setups use two or three models in parallel, routing each task to whichever model handles it best.

That is exactly what Fello AI is built for. Instead of separate subscriptions and separate apps for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek, you get all of them in one native app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad, for one price, starting at $9.99/month with a free tier available. Models are added and updated regularly, so you always have access to the latest versions without waiting or paying extra.

Fello AI works seamlessly across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

What You Can Actually Do in Fello AI

Fello AI is more than a place to chat. It is built for people who want one app that can handle everyday AI work across writing, research, files, planning, and real document creation. Instead of switching between separate tools for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, file analysis, and web research, you can do it all in one native workflow on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Use the right AI model for the task

Different models are better at different kinds of work. In Fello AI, you can switch between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and more without leaving the app or rebuilding your workflow. That makes it much easier to compare outputs, move faster, and use the model that fits the task instead of forcing everything through one tool.

Chat with PDFs, images, and Office files

Fello AI is designed for file-based work, not just plain text prompts. You can upload PDFs, images, Excel sheets, slide decks, and documents, then ask for summaries, explanations, rewrites, extracted insights, or next-step recommendations. This makes the app much more useful for study, research, content work, reporting, and day-to-day professional tasks.

Create real documents you can actually use

One of Fello AI’s strongest advantages is that it can generate real output files directly from chat. You can build PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets with formulas, Word documents, and PDFs, then download and use them immediately. That turns AI from a brainstorming tool into something much closer to a real productivity workspace.

Search the web and keep working in one place

When you need current information, Fello AI can search the web with cited sources instead of forcing you to leave the app and manually piece things together. That is especially useful when you are researching a topic, checking facts, building a deck, or turning fresh information into a finished document.

Keep one workflow across Apple devices

Fello AI is available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, so you do not need one setup on desktop and a completely different one on mobile. You can keep the same app, same workflow, and same broader AI toolkit across your Apple devices. The App Store listing also shows macOS 12.0 or later support and a privacy label of “Data Not Collected.”

Get broader value from one app

The practical appeal of Fello AI is not just that it gives you access to more models. It is that it combines model choice, file analysis, document creation, web search, and cross-device use in one place. If you only want a single-provider ChatGPT app, the official option is fine. If you want a broader everyday AI workflow that can handle more types of work inside one app, Fello AI is the stronger setup.

Herramienta definitiva con posibilidades infinitas

Esencial para profesionales

Fello AI gives professionals a practical way to use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and other top models across Mac, iPhone, and iPad as part of one consistent workflow.

It is especially useful when your work changes fast and different tasks need different strengths. You might use one model for writing, another for research, another for brainstorming, and another for reviewing documents or structured files. Instead of switching between separate apps and accounts, Fello AI keeps everything in one place.

For professionals, that means less friction and more real output. You can analyze PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets, presentations, and images, then turn the result into real downloadable documents you can actually use in client work, internal workflows, and day-to-day execution.

Perfecto para estudiantes

Fello AI helps students handle everyday academic work more efficiently across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

It is useful for summarizing readings, explaining difficult topics more clearly, comparing different answers across models, organizing research, and working with PDFs, slides, notes, and other study materials in one place. Instead of relying on a single AI answer, students can use a broader workflow that fits the task better.

That makes Fello AI a stronger long-term study tool for many users. You can move from quick explanations to deeper research, file-based work, and real document creation without jumping between multiple AI apps.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is there an official Claude app for Mac?

Yes. Anthropic ships a native Claude desktop app for macOS. You download it from claude.com/download, open it from your Applications folder, and sign in. It runs on macOS 11 Big Sur or later and is free to start, though it only gives you Claude. For Claude plus other models in one place, a multi-model app like Fello AI is the alternative.

How do I use Claude on my Mac?

You have three main routes. Use Fello AI to get Claude alongside other top models in one app, install Anthropic’s official Claude desktop app if Claude is the only AI you need, or just use Claude for free in a browser at claude.ai.

Is Claude free?

Yes, Claude has a free plan you can use on the web, mobile, and desktop with no credit card. Paid plans add more usage, with Claude Pro at $20/month y Max from $100/month. Fello AI also has a free tier and adds Claude plus other models from $9.99/month.

What Claude models can I use?

Anthropic’s Claude family spans Haiku for fast tasks, Sonnet as the balanced default, and Opus for the hardest work, with a top frontier tier above them. Fello AI keeps its models current, so you get the latest Claude versions without waiting.

Does Claude run on Intel Macs?

Yes. The official Claude app runs on any Mac with macOS 11 or later, including Intel machines, and Fello AI runs on any Mac with macOS 12 or later. Neither needs a powerful GPU, since Claude runs in the cloud rather than on your machine.

What can I do with Claude in Fello AI?

You can chat, analyze PDFs and images, work with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, search the web, and create real downloadable documents, then switch to ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or DeepSeek for any task where another model is stronger, all in the same app.

Can I use Claude and ChatGPT in the same app?

Yes. Fello AI gives you Claude alongside ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek in one native Mac app for $9.99/month, so you can compare answers and pick the best model for each task.

Is my data private when I use Claude?

Anthropic built Claude with a strong focus on safety and privacy, and by default it does not train on your conversations on consumer plans unless you opt in. Using Claude through the official app or through Fello AI both route your prompts to Anthropic’s models rather than storing them locally.

Which is better, the official Claude app or Fello AI?

If Claude is the only AI you use, the official app is a clean, first-party choice. If you want Claude plus ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek in one app for a single price, Fello AI is the better everyday pick, especially on a Mac where you would otherwise juggle several separate apps and subscriptions.
