55On a Mac, Claude Science can now run as its own app, in its own window, rather than in the browser. If yours opens in a browser tab, installing an update from inside Claude Science, such as with **Restart to update**, can switch it over. Installing an update doesn't switch a copy that another account on your Mac installed, such as one that your organization's device management installed. To check whether yours has switched, open Claude Science from your **Applications** folder after the update. If it still opens in a browser tab, it hasn't switched, and you keep using it as before.
