The same Claude Code GUI you love in Cursor and VS Code, now available in JetBrains IDEs.
We've been renamed — Claude Code with GUI is now Swttch.
This repository moved from
yhk1038/claude-code-gui-jetbrainstoSwttch/swttch. Your existing links andgit cloneURLs keep working.It's the same product. We renamed it so we can support a wider range of providers beyond Claude Code.

- The same UI/UX as Claude Code in Cursor/VS Code, now in JetBrains IDEs
- A wrapper that spawns the Claude Code CLI — the same approach as the official VS Code extension
- All source code designed and written entirely from scratch — not a clone of any other project
- Dual-environment architecture that runs independently in browsers/mobile as well as JetBrains IDEs
- Delivers the rapidly evolving Claude Code experience (Agent Team, Remote Control, etc.) as a GUI
We are currently putting significant effort into stabilizing the service. If you report a bug, we typically resolve it within 1 day on average. Your feedback and bug reports are greatly appreciated.
This project aspires to grow alongside a global developer community. We adopt English as the official common language to maximize collaboration opportunities with as many developers as possible.
- Real-time Markdown rendering with syntax highlighting (math rendering supported)
- Displays Claude's thinking process as it unfolds
- Visual cards for file reads/writes, bash commands, and search results
- Consistent presentation matching the Cursor/VS Code experience
- Native dialogs for file and bash operation permissions
- Flexible permission policy configuration in settings
- Manage multiple conversations simultaneously with tab support
- Session dropdown for fast switching between active sessions

Alt+K(⌥Kon macOS), or right-click in the editor and pick Send to Claude Code — inserts the file you are looking at into the composer as@src/file.ts- With code selected, the line range comes along:
@src/file.ts#L10-L25 - Selecting code also attaches it as a context chip on its own — click the chip to drop it, or change the default under Settings > IDE
/clear— Reset session/compact— Compact conversation- Dynamically loads other available commands

-
Remote access from external devices
- Generates an externally accessible URL with QR Code
- Tunnels local server using cloudflared by Cloudflare (free, unlimited)
- No third-party communication beyond the Cloudflare proxy server providing port forwarding
- Community-built feature, unrelated to Claude's native Remote Control (planned for future support)
-
Sleep prevention
- macOS (caffeinate), Linux (systemd-inhibit), Windows (SetThreadExecutionState)
- Control not only plugin settings but also Claude Code's original settings (global/local) directly from the settings menu
- Full GUI coverage of the official settings file spec is planned
- GUI management of MCP servers, skills, agents, and other
.claudedomains is planned
- Works standalone in browsers or mobile without JetBrains IDE
- Node.js backend provides a WebSocket server; the browser connects as a client
- Not just for development — an independent deployment target delivering the same features as the IDE environment
- Open Claude in Terminal — Launch Claude in the IDE terminal from the command palette
- Session URL Routing — Sessions auto-restore even after IDE restart
- Single Process Multi-Project — One backend process serves multiple projects simultaneously
- Settings — Configure CLI path, theme, font size, permission policy, and log level

Problems that come up often, which we have not been able to fix on our side yet but for which a known workaround exists, are collected in docs/troubleshooting — each with the symptoms, the cause, how to fix it, and links to the related issues.
- Wayland clipboard — pasting into the chat input fails on Linux · Wayland
- Empty chat tab on Linux — the chat tab is completely empty on Linux, and the IDE's own Markdown preview is empty too
- Android Studio JCEF — Android Studio shows a guidance panel or an exception instead of the chat UI, or a blank window
- Review screen colours — the review screen comes out with no colour on IDE 2025.2 and older
