Ellivate Desktop

Build, run, and ship — without a terminal.

One Mac app for the whole loop. Drop a folder in, chat with Claude to write the code, click Dev to try it locally, click Publish to ship it live. The infrastructure stays out of your way.

What you get

  • Build with AI — chat with Claude inside the app. Claude writes and edits files in your project folder. No terminal, no copy-pasting code.
  • Dev — runs your app locally with an isolated dev database and a viewer cookie set automatically. Hot reload as you save.
  • Publish — ships to a live URL at<you>.ellivate.ai/<app>. We handle hosting, auth, sharing.
  • One sign-in — same account as the web dashboard and the iOS app.

Before you start

You'll need Claude Code installed and signed in. Ellivate Desktop uses your existing Claude subscription — we never see your credentials.

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
claude

Run claude once to sign in. After that, Ellivate Desktop will detect it and you're ready.

Prefer the command line? Install the CLI instead.
