CLAUDE CODE GUI FOR LINUX

A Claude Code desktop app
for Linux.

Every Claude Code session on your Linux machine, in one window.

Run several Claude Code sessions at once across your projects on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch or Mint, see which one needs you, and answer from one place. Codex and Grok sit in the same window.

01 / WHAT YOU GET

Claude Code on Linux,
with a window around it.

The same Claude Code you run in a terminal, with every session of every project in view.

Every session in one window

Run several Claude Code sessions at once, in as many projects as you like, and see what each one is doing without a wall of terminal tabs.

Told when one needs you

A desktop notification when a session finishes, stops midway, or waits for your answer or permission. You choose which notices each project gets.

Any distribution, two packages

An AppImage for Fedora, Arch, Mint, RHEL and the rest, and a .deb for Ubuntu and Debian. One program, x86_64, glibc 2.35 or newer.

Codex and Grok beside it

Keep OpenAI's Codex and xAI's Grok in the same list as Claude Code, so one agent can build while another reviews.

A server with no desktop

The same program runs as an agent over SSH. Drive its sessions from the studio on your laptop, whether that is Linux, Windows or a Mac.

Your data stays home

Sessions, email and sales data stay on your own machine. No AigoPilot cloud account is needed to see your work.

02 / HOW IT WORKS

Your Claude Code.
Your plan.

AigoPilot does not replace Claude Code. It runs it.

AigoPilot starts Anthropic's official Claude Code CLI on your Linux machine, with your own Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan. Your CLAUDE.md files, settings, hooks and MCP servers work as they always do, because it is the same program. AigoPilot never asks for an Anthropic API key and never reads your sign-in.

If Claude Code is not installed yet, you can install it the way Anthropic documents it:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Then install AigoPilot. Download the AppImage, make it runnable with chmod +x and start it, or install the .deb with sudo apt install ./AigoPilot-*.deb. The AppImage keeps itself up to date. Every step, and the setup of a server, is in installing AigoPilot on Linux.

The downloads are free. The studio works with an AigoPilot account that has a plan, and the same plan covers up to three computers on Linux, Windows and the Mac.

03 / AN HONEST COMPARISON

AigoPilot or the
Claude desktop app?

Anthropic's own app came to Linux as a beta. Here is when each one fits, as each maker's docs say on 23 October 2026.

If you only use Claude Code on an Ubuntu or Debian desktop, the official app may be all you need. If you run several agents across several projects, on Fedora or Arch, or on servers you reach over SSH, AigoPilot is built for that.

QUESTIONS

Before you
decide.

Is there a Claude Code desktop app for Linux?

Yes, there are two. Anthropic's own Claude desktop app has a Linux beta for Ubuntu 22.04 or newer and Debian 12 or newer. AigoPilot is an independent desktop app that runs Claude Code on any x86_64 Linux with glibc 2.35 or newer, including Fedora and Arch, next to Codex and Grok.

Which Linux distributions does AigoPilot support?

Any x86_64 distribution with glibc 2.35 or newer: Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, Debian 12, Fedora, Arch, Linux Mint 21 or newer, and RHEL or Rocky Linux 9. The .deb is for Ubuntu and Debian, and the AppImage runs on the others. There is no ARM build yet.

Does AigoPilot need an Anthropic API key on Linux?

No. AigoPilot starts Anthropic's official Claude Code CLI, which signs in with your own Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan, the same way it does in a terminal. AigoPilot never asks for an API key and never reads your login.

Can I run Claude Code on a Linux server without a desktop?

Yes. The same AigoPilot program runs as an agent on a server you reach over SSH, with no window. A studio on your Windows PC, Mac or Linux desktop pairs with it by six digits and drives its Claude Code, Codex and Grok sessions as if they were local.

Is AigoPilot free on Linux?

The download is free, and the studio works with an AigoPilot account that has a plan: 49 USD a year or 99 USD once, on up to three computers, on Linux, Windows and Mac alike. A free seven-day trial is available on request in the chat on aigopilot.com.

Is there a Conductor alternative for Linux?

Conductor's own installation docs say it is not available for Linux yet (checked on 23 October 2026). AigoPilot runs several Claude Code and Codex sessions side by side on Linux today, on your own computer, with your own subscriptions.
