I Built a Visual Desktop App for Claude Code — Here's What I Learned

Claude Code is an incredible AI coding assistant, but it lives in the terminal. I wanted something more visual — a native desktop app where I could manage multiple projects, coordinate AI agent teams, and connect tools with one click. So I built Pilos Agents . What Is Pilos Agents? Pilos Agents is an open-source (MIT) Electron app that wraps Claude Code with a proper desktop UI. Think of it as the visual layer on top of Claude Code's CLI. Key features: Multi-project tabs — Work on multiple codebases simultaneously, each with isolated conversations Multi-agent teams — PM, Architect, Developer, Designer, and Product agents collaborate on tasks with distinct perspectives One-click MCP integrations — Connect GitHub, Jira, Supabase, Sentry, browser automation and more without editing JSON configs Persistent memory — SQLite-backed project memory that carries across sessions and restarts Built-in terminal — Full xterm.js terminal embedded alongside agent output No lock-in.
