A graphical desktop app for Claude Code
Aiola puts errors, feedback and GitHub beside Claude Code in one macOS and Windows desktop app. Turn reports into agent tasks and review each change.
Key facts
What is a Claude Code GUI?
A Claude Code GUI is a graphical desktop app that puts a visual interface in front of Claude Code. Claude Code is Anthropic’s coding agent, available in terminal, IDE, desktop and browser interfaces. A raw terminal makes several jobs harder: diff review, browser previews, concurrent sessions and steering projects in parallel.
A GUI fixes that. It provides windowed chat, file-by-file diffs, terminal tabs and a built-in browser. You can view work side by side. Aiola is one such GUI: with an important difference: it's not Claude-only. The same window also runs Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode and Antigravity. Product tools sit beside the coding work.
What a good Claude Code GUI gives you
The point of a graphical interface isn't decoration: it's the surfaces that a terminal can't show well. A good Claude Code GUI gives you:
- Chat: a proper conversation view for each agent, with streamed output you can read, scroll, and copy from. See how threads work.
- A file-by-file diff viewer: review each proposed change with git context and undo controls. Skip the terminal scrollback.
- A built-in browser and terminal tabs: open your running app or docs beside chat. Keep terminals in the same window.
- Split view: place two threads side by side so you can compare approaches or watch two agents at once.
- An unlimited canvas: arrange threads, notes, and screens on an infinite whiteboard. Expand projects beyond a single column.
- Popout threads: pull a thread into its own window and keep it visible while you work elsewhere.
Aiola: a GUI for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode, and Antigravity
Aiola runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode and Antigravity in one interface. Each uses your own provider access. For Claude Code sessions alone, opcode is an open-source GUI and toolkit.
Pick the provider per thread without leaving the workspace. Use one agent for a large refactor and another for a quick fix. Each thread has its own chat, diffs, branch, terminal and built-in browser. Run several in parallel and split them side by side. Aiola keeps these agents beside tasks, logs and product reports across projects.
Product tools beside your coding agents
Aiola puts product reports and project tools beside agent chat and diffs. Use these tools across projects in one desktop app:
- Tasks: a per-project board that can trigger an agent and hand the result back as a pull request.
- App logs: capture and read your product's logs next to the code that produced them.
- Analytics: including AI-bot and crawler tracking, an indexing panel, and keywords, so you watch how your shipped product performs.
- Feedback: collect and triage user feedback in the same window.
- Automations: schedule recurring agent jobs (triage, checks, summaries) that run on your machine with your subscription.
- Central cross-project view: see work across repositories and use GitHub actions from the same app.
Managing multiple projects with a Claude Code manager
Running Claude Code across repositories creates coordination work. Track which thread changed each branch, which diffs need review and what remains. A Claude Code manager gives each project a workspace with parallel threads and optional worktrees. Worktrees separate working files; review combined changes before merging.
Clear boundaries make multi-agent management predictable. Scoped bugs, small features with acceptance criteria, and recurring checks can be dispatched to threads or scheduled automations. Architectural choices, security approvals, and final pull-request merges remain manual.
Cross-project dashboard view
Aiola’s cross-project dashboard shows active threads, recent diffs, pending tasks, GitHub issues and pull requests. It also shows app logs, analytics and scheduled automations across repositories.
See which projects have work in flight and open a thread to steer it. You can close the extra terminal tabs. The dashboard provides one status view across agents. Projects can run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode or Antigravity.
Run Claude Code on Windows
Aiola keeps product reports, tasks and code review beside Claude Code. Aiola provides a native desktop GUI for Windows 10+ (64-bit) and macOS 12+. Both platforms have parallel threads, diff review, terminal tabs and browser integration.
Confirm Windows 10+ (64-bit), install Aiola’s .exe from the download page, then sign in with your existing Claude Code authentication. Processes, git worktrees, and repository files execute locally on your PC without cloud runners.
Local-first: your code stays on your machine
Aiola runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode, and Antigravity on your own machine, against your own repositories. Your code stays on your machine and goes to the AI provider you choose. Aiola never uploads it to its servers. There is no cloud runner, compute resale or API-key markup. Bring your existing Claude subscription. Aiola does not provide models. Threads, tasks, notes and automations stay local. Optional Analytics, App Logs and Feedback telemetry is hosted through Aiola’s cloud. Read more about how Aiola keeps your data yours.
Aiola is free to download. Pro starts at $24/month or $240/year, including 100k events. GUI Lifetime costs $49, $89, or $129 as a one-time payment. Hosted Analytics, App Logs, Feedback, hosted MCP and Setup Health need Pro or a trial; GUI Lifetime excludes them. The 7-day trial requires a card.
Automations run locally while Aiola is open and the desktop is on and awake.
macOS and Windows
Aiola supports macOS 12 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10 or later (64-bit). Both platforms receive identical capabilities: multi-provider orchestration, git worktrees, diff inspection, terminal tabs, and embedded browser preview. Just download Aiola to get started.
Provider billing and other coding agents
Does Aiola track token usage or cost?
Aiola shows active threads, diffs, tasks, App Logs, Feedback and Analytics across projects. Bring your own provider subscriptions; Aiola never proxies or resells compute. API billing remains with Anthropic and other model providers.
Can I run Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode, and Antigravity in the same app?
Aiola runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode, and Antigravity in one desktop app. Bring your own subscriptions. You can choose the provider per thread or task and run multiple agents in parallel across projects.
