Palette Desktop
Palette Desktop is here.
It's a desktop app for running Claude Code and Codex on shared team folders. Point it at a folder on Google Drive or Dropbox, share it with your team, and the folder becomes your team's workspace. No terminal. No git. Most people are in their first session within minutes.
We've been running it internally for months and with a small group of design partners for a few weeks. We're sharing it more broadly now.
Sessions
A session is a sandboxed clone of your folder where you can work safely. Run multiple chats inside one session, each focused on a different task. When you're ready, save the whole session back to the shared folder. Reviewed, not chat-by-chat. That's how a team can share the same folder without stepping on each other.
- Multiple chats per session. Several chats in parallel, each on a different task.
- Approve changes. Every change is staged. You review before anything writes back.
- Changes history. Every change logged. Browse, compare, restore in one click.
Agent choice
Palette Desktop runs Claude Code and Codex. Switch per session. Bring your own subscription either way. Your team's context isn't locked to one AI vendor.
- Detects your agent. Palette Desktop checks for Claude Code and Codex on your machine. If you don't have one yet, it helps you install.
