6666 * **SSH**: Connect to a remote machine over SSH, such as your own servers, cloud VMs, or dev containers. Desktop installs Claude Code on the remote machine automatically the first time you connect.
6767 * **WSL** (Windows): Run the session inside a [WSL 2 distribution](/docs/en/desktop-wsl); Claude Code, tools, and git execute on the Linux side with native paths.

127**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, optionally 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.
