Desktop CC GUI

English · 简体中文

ccgui is built for professional developers as an alternative to Cursor. Focused on developer experience, our ultimate goal is to build a 100% open-source and transparent next-generation VibeCoding editor (powered by Claude Code, Codex, and more).

This is a project built upon CodexMonitor

Core Features

Multi-Engine

Manage multiple AI coding engines in a single interface and switch freely between them:

• Claude Code — Deep integration with the full Anthropic model family (Haiku / Sonnet / Opus)
• Codex CLI — Full lifecycle management with custom model and parameter support
• OpenCode CLI — Built-in control panel with visual configuration for Providers / MCP / Sessions
• Gemini CLI — Supported (under active development)
• Custom Providers — Configurable channels including official, regional, aggregator, and third-party services

Professional Development Panels

More than a chat window — a complete development workbench:

• Chat Canvas — Rich-text input with file/image/code snippet attachments, @ file references, / command triggers
• Built-in Terminal — Full shell terminal powered by xterm.js with pseudo-TTY support
• Git Panel — Commit history visualization, branch management, worktree support, diff review
• Kanban Board — Drag-and-drop task management (Todo → In Progress → Testing → Done)
• Plan Panel — Task decomposition and planning visualization
• Parallel Execution — Run multiple agents simultaneously with real-time status tracking

AI Memory System

• Project Memory — Persistent memory storage with semantic classification (8+ memory types)
• Skills System — Reusable skill/agent management with import and export support
• Prompt Library — Custom prompt management and quick execution

MCP Protocol Support

Built-in Model Context Protocol support for configuring and managing MCP Servers, extending AI tool-calling capabilities.

Cross-Platform Native Experience

• macOS — Frameless window with native title bar integration (Intel / Apple Silicon / Universal)
• Windows — Frameless window with custom drag regions
• Linux — AppImage packaging, ready to use out of the box

More Capabilities

• Voice dictation (Whisper model, macOS/Linux)
• Global search (files, conversations, kanban, skills, commands, and more — 8 result types)
• Syntax highlighting (CodeMirror 6 + Prism.js, 10+ languages)
• Mermaid diagram rendering
• Multi-language UI (English / Chinese)
• Auto-update

Local Development and Debugging

1. Prerequisites

Make sure the following tools are installed:

• Node.js (>= 18)
• Rust (stable)
• Tauri CLI (npm install -g @tauri-apps/cli)
• cmake

Run the environment check:

npm run doctor

2. Install Frontend Dependencies

npm install

3. Start Development Mode

npm run tauri:dev

The first launch will compile the Rust backend, which takes longer. Subsequent launches use incremental compilation.

4. Frontend-Only Development (without Tauri)

npm run dev

5. Build for Production

# macOS (Apple Silicon)
npm run build:mac-arm64

# macOS (Universal)
npm run build:mac-universal

# Windows
npm run build:win-x64

# Linux
npm run build:linux-x64

6. Linting and Testing

npm run lint          # ESLint check
npm run typecheck     # TypeScript type check
npm run test          # Run frontend tests

Future Iterations

While the app is already usable, I'm not yet satisfied with the polish on the details. I plan to release at least one update per day, aiming for 100 iterations. Feedback and issues are welcome!

Your Stars and recommendations help more people discover this project. Thank you!
