Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work

At least on macOS, an OS snapshot is a thing [1]; I suspect Cowork will mostly run in a sandbox, which Claude Code does now.

Ok, you can "easily", but how quickly can you revert to a snapshot? I would guess creating a snapshot for each turn change with an LLM become too burdensome to allow you to iterate quickly.

For the vast majority, this won't be an issue.

This is essentially a UI on top of Claude Code, which supports running in a sandbox on macOS.

All major OSes support snapshotting, and it's not a panacea on any of them.
