Overview
ccgui is a Tauri 2, React and Rust desktop app that puts eleven command-line coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi, Grok, OpenCode, Qoder, MiniMax Code and others) behind one chat interface. Each engine has its own protocol adapter in the Rust backend. The app adds a file tree, PTY terminal, Git panel, provider-channel config and a plugin SDK, with installers for macOS, Windows and Linux.
Who it is for: Developers who use several coding CLIs and want one desktop GUI
Strengths
- Eleven engines in one UI, each with a dedicated Rust protocol adapter
- Writes provider channels to each CLI's native config; CC Switch import for Claude, Codex, Grok
- Built-in file tree, PTY terminal, Git panel and CodeMirror editor
- Installers for macOS (aarch64), Windows (NSIS) and Linux (AppImage, rpm)
Weaknesses
- Needs the underlying CLIs installed and configured separately; not a standalone agent
- Feature support varies by engine; team mode is unsupported on all of them
- MiniMax Code has no provider channels or MCP/Skills sync yet
- Only a macOS Apple Silicon installer is listed; no Intel macOS build
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Supported engine CLIs (Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc.), Node.js 22.13+ and pnpm 10 (build from source), Rust stable (build from source)
- Models: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi CLI, Grok CLI, Pi CLI
- port 1420
