127127**Scale up when you're ready.** Open [parallel sessions](/docs/en/desktop#work-in-parallel-with-sessions) from the sidebar to work on multiple tasks at once, each in its own Git worktree, and open the [tasks pane](/docs/en/desktop#watch-background-tasks) to watch the subagents and background commands a session has running. Open a [side chat](/docs/en/desktop#ask-a-side-question-without-derailing-the-session) to ask a question without derailing the main thread. Send [long-running work to the cloud](/docs/en/desktop#run-long-running-tasks-remotely) so it continues even if you close the app, or [continue a session on the web or in your IDE](/docs/en/desktop#continue-in-another-surface) if a task takes longer than expected. [Connect external tools](/docs/en/desktop#extend-claude-code) like GitHub, Slack, and Linear to bring your workflow together.

131Desktop runs the same engine as the CLI with a graphical interface. You can run both simultaneously on the same project, and they share configuration (CLAUDE.md files, MCP servers, hooks, skills, and settings). For a full comparison of features, flag equivalents, and what's not available in Desktop, see [CLI comparison](/docs/en/desktop#coming-from-the-cli).
