Claude Science
Claude Science is a scientific research app that brings literature analysis, coding tools, and reproducible research workflows into one workspace.
What is Claude Science?
Claude Science is a scientific research workbench for macOS and Linux that helps researchers bring literature review, data analysis, coding, and writing into one environment. It is designed for scientists who work across multiple databases, computational tools, notebooks, and remote systems during the course of a project. Users can ask questions in natural language, run multi-step research workflows, generate figures and manuscripts alongside code, and keep an auditable history of how outputs were created. The app is built for workflows in areas such as genomics, proteomics, structural biology, and related research domains, with access to curated tools and connectors for scientific work. It can also fit into lab and HPC workflows by supporting local use and remote access patterns such as SSH-based environments. Anthropic PBC offers Claude Science as a specialized desktop research product for scientists who want a more integrated way to analyze sources, work with data, and document results.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Claude Science is a legitimate research application. Because its purpose includes working with research materials, code, and connected scientific tools, users should expect it to access project files, remote systems, and online services that are part of their workflow. That kind of access is normal for this type of app, but you should still avoid giving it sensitive datasets or credentials you do not intend to use in your research session, and follow your lab or organization’s data-handling rules when connecting external resources.
Recommendation: Keep Claude Science if you actively use Claude in scientific research, data analysis, or manuscript preparation. Remove it if you no longer use this workflow, but expect to lose convenient access to its integrated research environment and any local app data tied to the installation.
