A powerful GUI app and Toolkit for Claude Code
Create custom agents, manage interactive Claude Code sessions, run secure background agents, and more.
Fork Notice — This is a fork of winfunc/opcode with Windows-specific fixes and improvements.
Changes from upstream
- Fixed settings save failures — Tauri invoke errors were silently falling back to a read-only REST API, causing saves to fail with cryptic HTML parse errors. Errors now propagate directly.
- Fixed console window flashing — All subprocess calls (binary discovery and Claude execution) now use
CREATE_NO_WINDOWto prevent terminal windows from briefly appearing on Windows. - Fixed PATH-based binary validation —
set_claude_binary_pathnow resolves commands viawhere/whichso bare PATH names likeclaude.exeare accepted. - Fixed real-time streaming — Replaced dynamic
require()with static ESM imports for the Tauri event listener, fixing messages only appearing after app restart. - Fixed Windows subprocess environment — Claude processes now inherit all environment variables on Windows (Node.js needs APPDATA, USERPROFILE, SYSTEMROOT, TEMP, etc.).
- Improved error messages — Settings save errors now display the specific failure reason instead of a generic message.
- Updated model names — Corrected outdated "Claude 4 Opus/Sonnet" to "Opus 4.6" and "Sonnet 4.5" with centralized definitions.
- Bigger model/thinking selectors — Selector buttons now show full names ("Sonnet 4.5", "Opus 4.6", "Auto", "Think", etc.) instead of single-letter abbreviations.
- Persistent selections — Model and thinking mode choices are saved to localStorage and restored on app restart.
- Model label on responses — AI response bubbles now show which model was used under the Bot icon.
- Compact result stats — The "Execution Complete" card is now a slim stats bar (cost, duration, turns, tokens) instead of duplicating the response text.
- Deduplicated system init — "System Initialized" widget only appears once per conversation instead of on every message.
- Permission prompt support — Default and Accept Edits permission modes now work via an MCP-based permission prompt pipeline. Write/modify operations show a dialog for user approval instead of being silently allowed or hanging.
- Interactive AskUserQuestion support — When Claude asks clarifying questions via the
AskUserQuestiontool, a step-wizard dialog appears with clickable option cards, single/multi-select, and free-text "Other" input. Claude pauses and waits for your answers before continuing. Works in all permission modes including Bypass Permissions.

🌟 Overview
opcode is a powerful desktop application that transforms how you interact with Claude Code. Built with Tauri 2, it provides a beautiful GUI for managing your Claude Code sessions, creating custom agents, tracking usage, and much more.
Think of opcode as your command center for Claude Code - bridging the gap between the command-line tool and a visual experience that makes AI-assisted development more intuitive and productive.

-
Build fails with "out of memory"
- Try building with fewer parallel jobs:
cargo build -j 2 - Close other applications to free up RAM
- Try building with fewer parallel jobs:
Verify Your Build
After building, you can verify the application works:
# Run the built executable directly # Linux/macOS ./src-tauri/target/release/opcode # Windows ./src-tauri/target/release/opcode.exe
Build Artifacts
The build process creates several artifacts:
- Executable: The main opcode application
- Installers (when using
tauri build):.debpackage (Linux).AppImage(Linux).dmginstaller (macOS).msiinstaller (Windows).exeinstaller (Windows)
All artifacts are located in src-tauri/target/release/.
