Juracich ADE · Free desktop app for macOS, Windows, Linux
A desktop app for agentic coding.
ADE is the desktop application we use ourselves every day. Download, double-click to install, sign in. It quietly exposes your projects and terminals to the web so you can drive your work by voice from anywhere — phone, laptop, browser. Free.
Not a CLI. Not an npm package. A real native window with a project sidebar, live terminals, and a dock icon — packaged with Electron.
MIT-licensed source available. No telemetry. Connects to your own Juracich workspace only when you tell it to.
What is it
A real desktop app — native window, dock icon, the works.
Open the installer for your OS, drag to Applications, launch. ADE lives in your dock the same way a code editor does. A native sidebar lists your projects, the right pane streams your live terminals, and the menu bar gets a status icon so you always know it’s running.
Under the hood it’s an Electron app packaged withnode-ptyfor real shells and SQLite for local state — no browser tab, no terminal install, no Node toolchain on your machine. Your files stay local; only the events you stream cross the wire.

What it does
Built for the way developers actually work.
Voice-first
Hold a key, say what you want done, ADE routes the command to the right project. Same tool catalog as the dashboard buttons.
Live terminals
Every shell you spawn streams pty output to the web in real time. Scroll back, replay, share a link.
Multi-project aware
Register a fleet of projects once. ADE keeps a fresh snapshot — names, paths, executors — so the web UI never blocks on a poll.
Outbound-only
No port-forwarding, no inbound webhooks. ADE long-polls; the web side never reaches into your machine uninvited.
Instant remote runs
Kick off a build, a deploy, or an arbitrary command from your phone. Watch the logs scroll. Cancel from the same surface.
Pluggable executors
Use the built-in pty runner or wire your own — bash, zsh, fish, pwsh, Docker, even remote SSH targets.
Three steps
Up and running in under a minute.
- Step 1
Download the installer
Pick the build for your OS — `.dmg` for Mac, `.exe` for Windows, `.AppImage` for Linux. Signed and notarized, around 90 MB.
- Step 2
Drag to Applications
Open the installer, drag the ADE icon to your Applications (or run the installer on Windows / Linux). Launch it like any other app.
- Step 3
Sign in once
On first launch, click Pair Workspace and sign in with the same email you use for the Juracich dashboard. That's it — your projects and terminals show up in the web UI immediately.

Better with Studio
Pair ADE with Juracich Studio.
ADE is great on its own. Pair it with Juracich Studio to attach terminals to clients, projects, and tasks — so the work you ship and the customers you ship for live in the same place.
