The Cline coding agent as a native desktop app. No editor required — open a workspace, talk to your agent, and ship.

What's in the beta

The whole agent, no editor attached.

The core Cline experience, rebuilt as a native desktop app. New builds ship frequently — expect rough edges.

STANDALONE APP

A home for your agent, outside the editor

Cline for Desktop is a standalone app. Point it at a workspace and it shows the full workspace name and git branch while the agent reads, edits, and runs your code — no VS Code window needed.

ANY PROVIDER

Same Cline harness, connect to any model natively

The same open-source Cline agent you know from the IDE and CLI. Bring your own API key and connect natively to any provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, open-weight models, or a local endpoint — and switch models mid-project.

QUEUED MESSAGES

Keep typing while it works.

Queue follow-ups mid-task. They collect in a list above the composer where you can edit, reorder, send now, or delete each one.

FORK & EDIT

Rewind any conversation.

Edit an earlier message and the app forks the session, rewinds your workspace to that checkpoint, and re-runs from the edited prompt.

SESSION HISTORY

Every session in one place.

Sessions from the desktop app, CLI, extension, and scheduled runs — favorite them, and filter the sidebar by where each one came from.

Try the beta today.

Bring your own API key or sign in with your Cline account. Beta feedback shapes what ships next.
