Original Summary

Hi Hacker News, I&#x27;m Harjot. I&#x27;ve been using Meta&#x27;s Muse Code CLI daily for a few weeks now. One thing that I found difficult to handle was managing or controlling multiple sessions across multiple projects, while using the terminal for the muse CLI. Initially, I used cmux to create workspaces&#x2F;groups for my different projects to group them, and then created 4 split terminals in each of those projects, that ran muse code sessions in each of them. It worked, but it was ugly. I didn&#x27;t like using that. It could be because I&#x27;m not really a terminal person and would much rather prefer a proper dedicated GUI or desktop&#x2F;app interface, and I would prefer it any time over a terminal screen or CLI. So it might be personal preference but yeah.<p>So, I started building a desktop app around it, mainly to scratch my own itch.<p>Helicon is a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux, plus a VS Code extension that also works in Cursor and Devin. It doesn&#x27;t replace the CLI. It runs muse serve and talks to it, and it reuses your existing muse login, so you don&#x27;t have to get an API key and you don&#x27;t pay an extra bill. You can use your existing Muse Code subscription plans.<p>Some things that I use the most: 1. Resuming sessions that I started in the terminal. I don&#x27;t start many sessions in the terminal now that Helicon exists, but initially I wanted to access all the sessions that were running in a terminal to be accessible from Helicon, when it was created initially. 2. Inline diffs that I can approve, similar to how Cursor works. 3. I can clearly see my 5-hour and weekly plan limits directly from the app itself and don&#x27;t have to manually keep going to Meta&#x27;s Muse Code billing page and manually keep refreshing the page to see my current usage&#x2F;limits.<p>I built it using Tauri 2 and React. It is MIT licensed. I built a lot of it with AI coding agents, especially Opus 5.5 (I really like using this model). It&#x27;s at v0.21.9 now, and 9 people have contributed so far.<p>Some issues: the Windows installer isn&#x27;t code-signed yet, so you&#x27;ll see a SmartScreen warning. And the macOS build isn&#x27;t notarized, so you need to click &quot;Open Anyway&quot; once.<p>You can try it in the browser with mock data, no install needed: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helicon.sh&#x2F;try" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helicon.sh&#x2F;try</a><p>It&#x27;s unofficial and not affiliated with Meta.<p>If you use a coding CLI every day, what would you want from a GUI for it? And what would make you go back to the terminal?
