CodePilot is a native desktop graphical user interface built for Claude Code that lets developers chat with, code with, and manage AI-assisted projects visually rather than through the terminal. Created with Electron and Next.js, CodePilot delivers a polished experience where users can talk to Claude models, view syntax-highlighted responses, attach files, and inspect project context via a live file tree. It supports session management so chats and project work persist between restarts, letting users pick up where they left off without losing history. Unlike traditional CLI-only workflows, CodePilot brings panels, drag-to-resize layouts, and controls for tool permissions that make it feel like a modern desktop code assistant. It also includes project-aware context so Claude understands the specific codebase you’re working on, helping generate smarter suggestions and clearer explanations.
