With Claude Code now available in the Claude desktop app, what are the key differentiators?

I’m all for new, better tools and will probably test this out over the weekend to see if the interface is more usable than Claude’s. Just curious if there’s anything you’re particularly excited about compared to the official release.

We started building this after trying existing tools like Claude Code desktop. We realized we couldn't fully transition to them — my co-founder went back to Cursor and burned tons of money on tokens.

So we decided to build a tool that WE would actually use, and once we succeeded with that, we open-sourced it. Since then we've received a lot of feedback on where to take this product - some use cases Anthropic will probably never do, like integrating Codex or adding other z.ai GLM subscription.

We're just trying to ship something we use ourselves, and maybe it could be useful to others, and see where it goes.

Why not support open code as well?

its in the backlog
