What's Wrong?

Description: My Projects have not been appearing in the Claude macOS desktop app for approximately one week (since around April 4, 2026). The same Projects are fully visible and functional when I access Claude through the browser at claude.ai.

What Should Happen?

My projects should appear in the Claude app.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by checking the desktop app's configuration or authentication with the Anthropic API, as the projects are visible in the browser version.

Guidance

  • Verify that the desktop app is properly authenticated with the Anthropic API, as the same projects are accessible through the browser.
  • Check the desktop app's settings or configuration to ensure that it is set to display projects from the Anthropic API.
  • Consider resetting the desktop app to its default settings or reinstalling it to rule out any local configuration issues.
  • If the issue persists, try to reproduce it with a different Claude model or project to isolate the problem.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause, and without knowing the last working version, it's hard to identify a specific regression.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try resetting the desktop app's settings or reinstalling it, as this might resolve any configuration issues that are preventing projects from appearing.
