About
Wisp is a standalone desktop Agents workspace built from the Code - OSS source tree. It gives Claude Code and Codex CLI a dedicated desktop window while keeping the sessions, credentials, and subscriptions configured in those CLIs.
Wisp keeps the useful agent workflow in one place: conversation history, terminals, permissions, changesets, MCP servers, skills, plugins, and remote hosts over SSH.
Wisp does not require GitHub Copilot sign-in or a Copilot Pro subscription. Claude Code and Codex CLI remain separate products with their own authentication and terms.
Install
Download the latest build from [Releases](https://github.com/al3rez/wisp/releases). Windows provides a user installer, Linux provides a `.deb` and portable archive, and macOS provides Intel and Apple Silicon `.dmg` and `.zip` builds.
The Windows and macOS builds are currently unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper may show a warning on first launch.
Building
Release artifacts are built automatically by GitHub Actions when a `v*` tag is pushed.
