Spawnkit for your desktop

The daemon and the workbench in one app, for macOS and Linux. It keeps itself up to date, and runs your sessions through the Claude Code CLI with your own Claude login.

Coming soon

The desktop app is not out yet.

When it is, this page offers the right file for your computer, with its size and checksum. Until then you can create an account and set up your team, or install the daemon from the terminal.

Get started Install from the terminal

  • Debian / Ubuntu package (.deb)Coming soon

Windows

Not yet

There is no Windows version, and no date for one. Spawnkit runs on macOS and Linux today.

Install

macOS

Open the .dmg and drag Spawnkit into Applications. Use the file for your Mac’s chip.

Not sure which chip you have? Apple menu, About This Mac: a Chip line means Apple silicon, a Processor line means Intel.

Linux

The AppImage runs without installing anything:

$ chmod +x Spawnkit-*.AppImage
$ ./Spawnkit-*.AppImage

On Debian or Ubuntu you can install the package instead:

$ sudo apt install ./spawnkit_*_amd64.deb

Check the download

Every file is listed with its SHA-256 checksum. Compare it with what your computer computes for the file you downloaded:

# macOS
$ shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Spawnkit-*.dmg
# Linux
$ sha256sum Spawnkit-*.AppImage

Requirements

  • macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
  • Linux on x64 with a current glibc distribution, such as Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora. The AppImage needs FUSE 2 (libfuse2t64 on Ubuntu 24.04, libfuse2 before that).
  • The Claude Code CLI, installed and logged in with your Claude account: a Pro or Max plan, or an Anthropic Console account. If claude works in your terminal, Spawnkit can use it.
  • No Spawnkit account needed to run it. An account is only for sharing workspaces with a team.

Prefer the terminal?

Install the daemon on its own and use the workbench in your browser. This suits a server or a machine you reach over SSH as well.

One-line installerComing soon
curl -fsSL https://spawnkit.app/install.sh | sh

Until the installer is live, Spawnkit installs from a release tarball. The getting started guide has the details, then spawnkit open opens the workbench.
