Use case

Claude Code desktop app for local agent work

Canopy runs Claude Code and other installed agent CLIs from local project folders and git worktrees.

A local-first desktop app

Canopy runs on your machine as a native desktop app. It opens local project folders, starts installed agent CLIs, and keeps project files on disk where your normal tools can still use them.

  • No Canopy account is required.
  • Source code stays on your machine unless the agent CLI you run sends context to its provider.
  • The app works alongside VS Code, terminal apps, tmux, LazyGit, and your existing git workflow.

Desktop structure for agent sessions

Claude Code runs well in a terminal. Canopy adds a persistent window for worktrees, terminal tabs, browser tabs, tasks, and session inspection without changing the underlying Claude Code CLI.

Download once, use across projects

Canopy supports macOS, Windows, and Linux builds. After installing, you can open multiple projects and return to your worktree layout later.
