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.
