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.

Requirements

  • Windows, macOS, or Linux
  • Node.js 24.18 or newer
  • Claude Code CLI for Claude sessions
  • Codex CLI for Codex sessions
