The new Claude Code desktop is the best

way to vibe code ever. I don't care if

you've never vibe code before a day in

your life. Check this out right now. So,

this is the new desktop experience. They

completely refreshed Claude Code on the

desktop. This is the desktop app and I'm

telling you this is now better than the

CLI. So, first thing you see here that I

absolutely love is now everything is

organized by project. This is going to

help you multitask and organize your

sessions so well. So, now you can spin

up multiple sessions per project and

it's organized by the project it's in.

So, as you can see here, I'm working on

a few different strands with the new

Henry app I'm building right now and I

have multiple things going on at one

time here. I have a Claude Code session

working on some scanner functionality,

another one that's implementing some

vibe coding features into the app,

another one that's actually planning on

how to send emails through the app. It's

now really easy to see by project what

I'm doing and see where my attention

needs, right? So, so when you see the

yellow dot next to each session, that

means your attention's needed. You need

to approve something or make a decision.

You can see here I'm in plan mode. So,

this is really, really cool and this is

great for organization and multitasking.

By the way, even if you're a beginner,

I'm going to show you how to set up new

projects, build apps out, all of that.

Just want to kind of walk through some

of the big features here first. I have

been a hardcore user of Claude Code in

the CLI for a while now. I've I've

dabbled in the desktop before and you

know, it was good, but the CLI version

always felt the smartest. This desktop

version I think is now the best way to

do this cuz a lot of these features I'm

about to show you. Here's another great

one I love. You can completely customize

this UX. So, if you click up here in the

top right, you can actually see

different panes you can pin to your

interface. I find the ones I really like

is to have tasks pinned there so you can

see what your agent is working on and

then also the plan. So, you can see from

a high level everything your agent's

thinking about and doing as well. You

can see here on this task, you can see

like what task it's already complete,

what's going to be doing next, and I can

go back and if anytime I get confused

cuz I'm doing a hundred different things

at once, I can go down here and look at

the plan. But, you always can add a

whole bunch of other things here. You

can even add like a preview so you can

see live like a live browser in here

what Claude code's doing. That's great.

I'm just focused on making sure it's

doing the right thing. So, I keep the

tasks and the plans open. That's what I

would recommend. If you want to spin up

new sessions and new agents so you can

take advantage of all this multitasking

functionality, all you need to do is go

up here to this new session portion, and

you can go down here and you get a bunch

of different options. You can do local,

you can do cloud so it does things in

the cloud, you can do remote controls.

So, if you want to get on the go and go

on your phone and actually use Claude

code from your phone, you can do that as

well. Here's my recommendation. I do

most things local. The thing is with

local, you want when you're doing

separate sessions like you see here to

have the agents working on very separate

parts of your app. This will make it so

they don't step on each other's toes or

change code that might conflict with

each other. So, when you're doing local,

that means it's actually changing code

on your computer, you want to be making

sure that each session you spin up is

touching very separate code. For cloud,

you get a little bit more flexibility.

So, for those who don't know, you can

spin up agents in the cloud, and this is

where Claude code's actually going to

take like your code from your GitHub

repo and then actually on Anthropic

servers have Claude code make changes

there, then you can pull it down. You

get a little bit more flexibility when

you go cloud where you can have them

step on each other's toes or work on

similar functionality at once because

you're pulling down all the changes one

at a time. So, you're merging them

together one at a time. So, you have a

little bit more flexibility there. I

mostly do things locally. I don't do too

many cloud agents. It's just a lot

simpler of a process when you go local.

So, a majority of the time I'm going

local. So, now all you would need to do

if you want to spin up a new cloud code

agent this brand new desktop experience

is you go in, you choose local or cloud,

whichever one you want. Then you choose

which project you want to work out of.

So, here's all the recent projects I was

working on. And then when I spin up

these sessions, it'll place this session

in the section with the project. Again,

cuz it's all organized by project, which

I love. I think CodeX started doing this

like a couple months ago. It was like

one of the main reasons I was using

CodeX's app. I'm glad to see Cloud's

pulling it over. There are no more modes

now when it comes to software. They're

all just copy each other's best

features. I love it. Whatever. So, if I

want to come here, I want to work on my

to-do app, and I want to say, "Let's

refresh the UI with a dark mode." And I

hit enter on that, it will then boom add

this new session to the to-do app. Now

you can start to see why this new

interface is so sick, because now we can

have our sessions working across

multiple projects. I can see them all at

once. I can jump back and forth. And

anytime an agent's like, "Oh, dude, I

need your I need your help here. I need

you check this out. I need your

approval." It'll just ping me, put the

dot next to it, I can quickly jump back

and forth, see where I am, see what task

it's working on, hit approve, and keep

it moving. I've been using this the last

few hours, and my productivity has been

honestly the best it's ever been. This

is a really, really awesome and

well-thought-out interface. So, if

you're newer to Cloud Code, all you want

to do is you want to make sure you go to

code up here, you click new session, you

choose local, and then you choose a

folder for your agent to work in, and it

will start organizing your sessions for

you in the right projects. I know I'm

jumping around a ton here. I've been

using the last couple hours. I thought,

"Man, I should probably film a YouTube

video on this cuz this is so cool." So,

forgive me. Feel free to skip around the

chapters down below if you want. I'm

just really excited, so I'm jumping

around a ton. But, let's talk about next

how this is kind of interfaced out, what

you see on your entire interface here.

They now switched this up, so you have

this kind of tab functionality, so you

can go easily between chat, co-work, and

code. Chat is great for when I'm just

bouncing ideas, when I'm brainstorming

things in my business, I go straight to

chat. Co-work is when I'm working with

files on my computer, right? I'm not

writing code, but I'm working with files

on my computer. Example, a great one is

I just did all my taxes with co-work. I

downloaded all my credit card statements

from the internet. I put it in one

folder, and I went to co-work, I said,

"Hey, go through everything, categorize

it, organize it in a spreadsheet, and

build it out for me." It's typically

taking me like 10 hours to do my taxes

in the past, and now it took me like 1

hour this year because of Claude

co-work. So, that's amazing. If you want

to like a Claude co-work deep dive, let

me know down below as well. I've only

done like one video on that in the past.

I'd be curious how many people want to

know about that. And then obviously

we're talking about Claude code here, so

code would be the one on the right here.

You click that, you're good to go, you

see all your sessions. Then when you're

in a session and you're doing some

coding, there's a lot of different

things you can do here that's kind of

hidden. So, bottom left here you can see

where it says plan mode. This is where

you can change how your Claude code

agent works. You honestly don't even

need to use plan mode at all. I'm

usually a vast majority of the time in

accept edits mode. When it's in accept

edits mode and it needs to go into plan

mode and ask you questions, it

automatically switches to plan mode. So,

you don't actually need to manually go

into plan mode at all. It'll figure out

the best time to do that for you. So,

accept edits is probably where you're

going to be like 95% of the time. You

can choose how verbose your agent is,

how well it's describing things to you.

I actually find normal mode is perfect.

I think Claude really dialed in well how

much to describe things. I love ChatGPT

5.4, but one issue I have with 5.4 is it

is so freaking verbose with every

question you ask it. I find normal mode

for Claude is absolutely perfect. If you

hit the plus, you can add different

contexts in and so you want to add

files, folders, things like that, new

slash commands, connectors, plugins, you

can do that as well. If you have Claude

in Chrome installed in your Google

Chrome, it will pop open your Google

Chrome to test different things out,

which is really cool. So, I recommend

installing Claude in Chrome. And then

you have this new press and hold to

record mode. So, if you're one of the

people that like to talk to your

computer, I'm not huge into it. A lot of

people get angry at me every live stream

go, "Oh, you need whisper flow, you need

this and that." I don't like talking to

my computer. I like typing. I enjoy

using a keyboard. I enjoy using my Mac

Magic Keyboard. It's fun to type on. So,

if you're one of those freaks that like

talking to your computer, you can now by

default in here talk to your computer.

Hold the button and say whatever you

want. By default, it goes to Opus 46 in

medium mode. I tend to stick to high

mode for basically everything. I find

when Opus thinks a little bit deeper, I

get better results. So, I am in high

mode for basically everything. I haven't

played too much around with max mode to

be quite honest with you. I just find

that high is the perfect mixture of like

thinking and speed. So, high is my

recommendation for basically everything.

One thing I really love here is you can

now pin your sessions as well. So, if

you have super important sessions that

are kind of your main driver sessions, I

find that when I'm working on a project

like I am with Henry Intelligent

Machines right now, this review all

files and directory chats like my main

driver chat, these other two are for

like kind of complimentary features. So,

for those main chats, if you do that,

you want to pin it. So, I'm going to pin

that one right up there. And now it's

always at the top and I can always have

an eye on that session. One thing I

really like is with the slash commands

now, if you actually type slash, it'll

show your slash commands and if you

hover over it real quick, you get a

really nice description of what that

slash command is. I haven't used slash

commands too much to be quite honest

with you because I just think there's

too much going on with them, and it's

kind of hard to tell what each is, but

this makes it a lot easier to understand

what each slash command is, cuz it's

giving you a nice, really in-depth

description of each. So, slash commands,

really nice. Will I be using them more

often? Probably not, but now I'm more

likely cuz they're easier to understand

which ones are which. And I'll show you

one more feature before I give you a

workflow that will make your life a lot

easier and kind of show you how I use

Cloud and how I've been getting a lot

more productivity out of it. They also

just added routines up here in the left.

Routines are a brand new feature.

They're a little bit like Open Claw,

where you can run tasks on a schedule

even when your laptop is closed. So, if

you go in here, you can say new routine,

you can determine if you want it local

or remote. If you do remote in the

cloud, you can turn your computer off

and it'll still happen. So, remote I

found to be like a good way to actually

use routines for sure, cuz you can even

spin these up on mobile if you want. And

what we're going to do is describe what

our routine will be, what our scheduled

task will be. Here's a routine everyone

can do no matter what you're doing, no

matter what you're working on, and

that's just nightly code reviews. So, if

you go in here, you can say check out

all our latest commits from the day. You

can choose your repo, you can choose

your model. I tend to go Opus,

uh, even though you can probably save a

couple dollars on Sonnet. I mean, if

you're on the $100 plan, probably go

Sonnet. $200, you can afford to go Opus.

And then we just schedule it for every

night. So, we can do this, we can do

daily, and I'm just going to do it at

9:00 p.m. We can add that trigger, and

now this routine's going to run every

single night. It's going to go through

all our commits from the day, review the

code, fix bugs if it needs to, and now

we basically have an AI employee in

Cloud Code doing work for us every

single night at 9:00 p.m., which is

really, really sick. A lot of other

really cool things you can do with here

as well. They have connectors. If you

use linear, which I'm using linear a lot

more now as I build my business out, you

can actually have it go in and check

linear for bugs and issues and actually

just try to solve as many bugs as it can

every single night. So, if you're on

linear, if you're using linear for

project management, really generous free

tier if you're not, really good

connector there where you can just have

your Claude code agent going in every

night fixing bugs for you. So, that's

really cool as well. Routines definitely

worth trying out. I mean, Anthropic's

adding new features every day. To be

honest with you, 70% of them I try and

then never use again. Routines is a good

one to be using. Okay, so what's the

workflow? How do you get the most out of

this? Here is what you want to be doing.

First thing you want to do is just

create a session in every project you're

currently working on. If you're anything

like me, you work on three different

things at once. My main projects are

Henry Intelligent Machine, which is my

next business. I'll put a link for that

down below. And Creator Buddy, which is

my SaaS I released last year. Make sure

you open up a session in each project

just so you have that up in your

sidebar. And then what you're going to

want to do is you're going to want to go

in and you're going to want to start

sessions for specific features you're

building out. And as we talked about

before, you want to use local for

probably a majority of what you're

doing. If you're super advanced and

you're more GitHub friendly, you can set

up work trees here so that each

session's in a different work tree so

that you can ensure there's no conflicts

with what you're building. Or you can

use cloud agents if you want, but if

you're a beginner, a lot of people watch

the channel more beginner, feel free

just to go local and make sure as you're

building things out, they're more

separate features so they don't step on

each other's toes. If they're more

similar, you can use your cloud agents

as I said before, or you can do work

trees. If you don't know what work trees

are, feel free to go Claude or ChatGPT

and ask it about that in GitHub. If you

want like a more in-depth GitHub video,

too, like more in-depth workflows for

people who are newer to this, a lot of

people who watch are super experienced,

a lot of people who watch are also

newer. Feel free to let me know down

below, too. And by the way, before I

continue this workflow, if you learned

anything so far, leave a like down

below. Make sure to subscribe and turn

on notifications. All I do is make

amazing videos about AI. And also, check

out the Vibe Coding Academy. I'm going

to do a whole tour of this new user

interface in a live boot camp this

Friday, so make sure check that out down

below, as well. It's the number one AI

community on planet Earth. So, now that

you're spinning up your sessions, you

want to customize your interface, right?

So, you can add your tasks in your plan.

If you're more actively testing things,

you can switch this over to the preview,

so that you can see preview of the app

in there. And what I typically like to

do when I spin up a new Claude code

session is instead of just going in and

telling it what to do, I'll go in and

tell it what I'm thinking of doing and

just say, "Hey, what do you think about

that?" I find Claude is a really good

brainstormer, business partner, bounce

ideas off of. So, go in, start a new

session before you build anything, just

say, "Hey, I'm thinking about building

this. What do you think of that? Based

on our code, based on what we built,

give me your feedback on this idea."

Also, make sure to say, "Hey, just check

out the code first, as well," just so it

can know what the context of your app

is, and it'll go and read the code real

quick. So, you have it read the code,

you have it hear what your idea is and

give you feedback. Then, once you've

talked about the idea a little bit and

then kind of massaged it and figured it

out, then you can say, "Okay, plan this

out for me," and it'll go into plan mode

for you and build that feature out. Now,

a question I got a lot is, "Okay, so

when do I use Claude code? When do I use

Open Claude? You're the big Open Claude

guy. When do I use each?" If you are

doing deep coding, right? You're focused

on coding, you're building production

apps, you want to be using Claude code.

Open Claude and Hermes are great vibe

coders, but I use those primarily just

for prototypes and for apps that I use

with those agents, like the mission

control. Anything else, more deep

consumer apps with a lot of

functionality, Claude code's the way to

go cuz this user interface is just so

much better for Vibe coding than just

sitting there in Telegram all day. We

are in the next few days also going to

have a huge codex release. Open AI's

been teasing it for a while. It's going

to be the all-in-one super app that

they've been building. So make sure to

turn on notifications down below cuz the

moment that comes out, I'll be using it

and I'll give you a tour around that

interface as well. Let me know what you

want me to cover next down in the

comments below. And again, number one AI

community on planet Earth, Vibe Code

Academy, doing a whole boot camp. Ask me

live questions this Friday as well. So

sign up for that down below. Hope this

is helpful. So deeply appreciate you

guys watching these videos. I absolutely

love using these tools. So the fact that

there's any amount of people out there

that want to watch me talk about it is

just the whipped cream on top for me. So

thank you so much and I will see you in

the next video.
