Clootee: Claude Code and Codex without the terminal

clootee.com Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source browser workbench that packages Claude Code and Codex into a downloadable, self-contained desktop setup.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The package uses Windows_Start.bat, Mac_Start.command, or Linux_Start.sh to launch a local browser interface at localhost:8970. The site says the wizard handles runtime, engine, and Git setup inside one folder, leaving the system PATH and registry untouched. Its workbench model includes per-session task queues, a workspace file manager, and visible tool-call inputs, outputs, timings, and token counts rather than a single opaque progress indicator.
