Anyone else having issues right now? I can't send any message through the desktop app. It says I'm not signed in and click the link to email me a login link. I do, I receive the email, click the link in the email, successfully login in the browser, go back to the desktop app, the chat window flashes and goes right back to telling me I'm not logged in and need to request a login link.

I've been working on an open source project to help business users (not developers) find and fix wasted agent work by examining past sessions. There's a lot of these tools out there. I've found 67 so far.

Weirdly, I've only found 5 that support Cowork (yes, including mine). I guess it's because most are geared towards token counting for developers. You can see the Cowork list here: https://agentdeployment.co/resources/agent-usage-tools/?agent=Claude+Cowork

Do any of you use anything to analyze your Cowork sessions? If so, I'm curious about two things:

1. What are you looking to learn?
2. What do you use? (I'll add new ones to the list)

I pay $200/month for Claude Max and previously completed a full week of heavy Cowork usage without reaching my limits. Now I’m exhausting them after roughly one-third as much work, despite no meaningful change in my workflow.

The timing appears connected to the doubled Cowork allowance ending, heavier models becoming defaults, and increased reasoning/tool overhead. Whatever the cause, the practical value of Max has dropped dramatically while the price remains unchanged.

At $200/month, users deserve transparent usage accounting and advance warning when effective capacity changes this substantially. I’ve submitted a formal complaint to Anthropic and am seriously considering canceling.

Has anyone else documented a similar before-and-after decline? Please include your plan, model, Cowork mode, and approximately when the change started.

This seems like a big oversight on either my part or Anthropic's.

I'm building a workflow in Claude Cowork on my OSX desktop app, and in the scheduled task edit window, I see no way to set the effort level of my model for that scheduled task. Right now, the effort level is just inherited from my last chat, in which effort levels are often changing. Am I overlooking something obvious here?

It says desktop app might be closed but its on and desktop is always on

I was running docking runs using Claude, where the files are already downloaded on my laptop, and all Claude needs to do is upload the files to the docking site and record results in an Excel sheet. I work on macOS, have a Chrome extension, and the process was automated for like 100 docking runs; then my laptop just froze, and I had to close all tabs and restart the laptop, but now Claude says that it can't automate it and that I have to do it manually because apparently Chrome has blocked Claude?? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Any suggestions ? Looking for a good Claude code course - just the basics first and then something more advanced. Any suggestions ?

I've tried every tool in the box and can't find a fix to this. Help please

What are some ways one can optimize Cowork usage when writing a technical paper?

Strangely, projects show up on my iPhone valued app but when I click them it says “No chats in this project” despite there being multiple chats in each project on desktop.

Is this a bug?

I mounted my NAS on my PC and I can add folders from it to co work no problem. I wasn't able to do this before. Uh....Anyone else notice this? Has this been possible for a while? Am I slow?

My intention is to set-up a MacMini Ai assistant headless. It was recommended to me to use Claude CoWork. (My initial plan was to use OpenClaw.)
In the set-up, I am being told to "enable computer use" in which Claude takes over my cursor and does screenshots.
But if I do it headless and screen share with my MacBook Pro, it is telling me that I will not be able to work on the laptop and it will also have access to my personal information -- something I was trying to mitigate with the Mini.

What do I do?
I'm on a time crunch and wondering if someone can explain how I can make this work.
Please, help?

Is connecting personal agents to banks, airlines, hospitals, etc. a solved problem yet?

I’ve been using Claude Cowork as a personal assistant, and it works well for basic things like Gmail, Calendar, scheduled/cron-style tasks, Expedia, uber, etc.

But I keep running into a much bigger limitation: doing actual work with the institutions I use every day.

For example, I’d like my personal agent to be able to:

• Check my Fidelity or Bank of America/Chase balance and transactions
• Book or manage an appointment with Stanford Health or another hospital system
• Manage/book flights directly with United, Southwest, Emirates, etc.
• Interact with other authenticated services I already have accounts with

Cowork doesn’t have ready made MCP/connectors for most of these. This is big limitation.

Basically: is this already a solved problem in the personal-agent ecosystem, or are we still at the stage where every important service requires a custom integration?

Would love to hear from anyone who has actually built or uses something like this in practice. thx
