We, the undersigned, are enthusiastic supporters and users of Claude—your innovative and increasingly indispensable AI assistant. We greatly appreciate your commitment to responsible AI and the accessible tools you've built so far. As users of the Linux operating system, we are writing to respectfully request the development and release of an official native Linux desktop application for Claude.

Linux powers millions of personal devices, developer workstations, servers, and enterprise systems worldwide. Its user base includes a large segment of professionals, developers, researchers, and open-source advocates—many of whom are actively integrating AI tools like Claude into their workflows. Unfortunately, Linux users are currently limited to accessing Claude via the browser, which lacks the integration and performance benefits of a native desktop experience.

There are no known technical limitations that would prevent a native Linux application from being developed. Frameworks like Electron, Qt, or GTK make cross-platform development highly feasible, and your competitors have already begun offering Linux clients or support.

Providing a native Linux desktop application would:

Offer improved performance, stability, and accessibility
Allow tighter integration with Linux-based productivity workflows
Further demonstrate Anthropic’s commitment to openness and technological inclusivity
Broaden your reach within a passionate and influential segment of the tech community
We believe that Linux users should not be excluded from a full-featured desktop experience, and that creating such an application aligns with the forward-thinking vision you’ve established at Anthropic.

We kindly urge you to consider this request and take steps toward making Claude fully available on all major desktop platforms—including Linux.

Thank you for your time, attention, and dedication to ethical, accessible AI.
