Hi Claude Code team,

The new Claude Code desktop app design looks great — really polished.

One feature I'd love to see: message queuing during an active task.

Right now, when Claude is working on a task, I have to wait until it finishes before I can send the next message. It would be much more productive if I could type follow-up messages and press Enter to queue them — then once the current task completes, the next queued message is sent automatically, and so on.

Use case: I often know the next 2–3 things I want to ask or do while Claude is still working. Instead of waiting and context-switching, I could line them up and let them run sequentially without interruption.

Would love to see this added.

Thanks!

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a message queuing system would allow users to send multiple messages sequentially while a task is active.

Guidance

  • Identify the current task management system and determine how to integrate a queuing mechanism that stores incoming messages while a task is in progress.
  • Develop a way to automatically send the next queued message once the current task completes, ensuring a seamless sequential execution of user requests.
  • Consider implementing a visual indicator to show users that their messages are being queued and will be processed once the current task finishes.
  • Investigate potential concurrency issues and ensure the queuing system can handle multiple messages and tasks efficiently.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue lacks specific technical details about the current implementation.

Notes

The feasibility of this feature depends on the existing architecture and task management system of the Claude Code desktop app. Additional considerations, such as handling errors, cancellations, or priority messages, may also be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a basic message queuing system to improve user productivity, with plans to refine and expand the feature based on user feedback and technical requirements.
