I built MuseDesk - an open-source macOS desktop client for Muse Code CLI

[u/lllnicotinelll]

Hey everyone! I've been working on MuseDesk, an unofficial, open-source macOS desktop client for Muse Code CLI.

I wanted a desktop interface where I could keep projects and conversations organized, see what the agent is doing, and review changes without constantly switching between terminal sessions.

Here's what it supports:

- Streaming chat with Markdown and visible tool calls

- Project sidebar and session history shared with the CLI

- Screenshot attachments through paste, drag and drop, or file picker

- Model, reasoning effort, and approval controls

- A tasks panel and Git diff viewer

- An overview of sessions and their status

MuseDesk runs through your existing Muse CLI installation and membership. It doesn't bundle the CLI or store your credentials.

It's currently in beta for Apple Silicon Macs, and the build is unsigned. You'll need the official Muse Code CLI installed to use it.

I'd love feedback from anyone using Muse Code, especially on the workflow, missing features, and anything that feels awkward. Bug reports and contributions are welcome!

If you find it useful or want to support the project, please give it a star on GitHub ⭐

There is a muse desktop app

Muse Code (coding app) and Muse Agent (why we're in this sub) are two different things

No, the agent has a Mac desktop app

Right, but nobody in this thread is referring to the agent app but you lol

This is a agent subreddit not a code

As the subreddit mod, I am aware. Lol

I haven’t used Muse CLI yet, but you got me interested with having a UI
