Maintenance release — fixes copy/paste and the launcher, adds a visual resume picker.

Fixed

  • Copy/paste now works. Clipboard moved to the main process (the sandboxed renderer can't use Electron's clipboard module), and the app runs under XWayland (--ozone-platform=x11) — native-Wayland Chromium doesn't sync the clipboard with the system, which broke copy/paste with other apps.
  • "Clicking the launcher did nothing." It no longer depends on libfuse2 (absent on Ubuntu 24.04) — launches via run.sh / APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1, and run.sh execs the Electron binary directly (no node on PATH required).

Added

  • Visual "Resume Session" picker — Session ▸ Resume Session… (Ctrl+Shift+E): click a past session instead of typing claude --resume.
  • Mouse copy/paste — select-to-copy (PRIMARY selection), middle-click paste, right-click Copy / Paste / Select All.
  • AppImage self-integration — installs its own .desktop entry + icon into ~/.local/share on first launch.

Downloads (x64 Linux)

  • claude-code-desktop-0.1.1.AppImage — portable (a bare double-click needs FUSE; see README for the FUSE-free options).
  • claude-code-desktop_0.1.1_amd64.debsudo apt install ./claude-code-desktop_0.1.1_amd64.deb (no FUSE needed).

Built & tested on Ubuntu 24.04 (Wayland + GNOME). Requires the Claude Code CLI installed.

v0.1.0 — Claude Code Desktop for Linux

Claude Code Desktop — an unofficial Linux desktop GUI that runs the real claude CLI in a window (xterm.js + node-pty wrapping your installed claude). The official Claude Code desktop app is macOS/Windows only; this fills the Linux gap.

Downloads (x64 Linux)

  • claude-code-desktop-0.1.0.AppImage — portable, no install. chmod +x it and double-click. On first launch it auto-installs an app-grid entry + icon into ~/.local/share.
  • claude-code-desktop_0.1.0_amd64.debsudo apt install ./claude-code-desktop_0.1.0_amd64.deb (adds an app-menu entry + icon).

Requirements

The Claude Code CLI (claude) installed on the machine. Built & tested on Ubuntu 24.04 (Wayland + GNOME).

Highlights

Real terminal with full CLI parity · tabbed sessions · folder picker · find · 5 color themes · 12 UI languages (incl. RTL Arabic) · fully localized menus · terminal-friendly shortcuts (Ctrl+C/V/W/A/R stay with the shell).

See the README for full docs.

Note: launches with --no-sandbox (Ubuntu 24.04's chrome-sandbox isn't setuid + restricted user namespaces). It's a local app running a local CLI.
