Claude Science is a desktop application that pairs Claude with an analysis environment on your computer. Available in beta on macOS and Linux. You describe a research task or analysis in plain language; Claude writes and runs Python, R, or shell code in a sandbox, reads the folders you grant it, pulls data from scientific databases through connectors, and saves results as versioned artifacts with a full provenance record. A background reviewer can check Claude’s claims against the work that was actually run. Your files stay on your computer, and code runs in a sandbox. You approve each new folder, network host, and remote job before Claude can use it.
Claude can make mistakes. The reviewer reduces, but doesn’t eliminate, errors. It checks claims against the execution record and doesn’t re-run analyses. Verify results before relying on them in research, publication, or downstream decisions. Claude Science is a research tool and isn’t intended for clinical or diagnostic use.
