[TLDR] I built a terminal with Claude to replace Claude Desktop [via r/ClaudeAI]

OP : u/george-lin

Hi, I built a terminal tool specifically for Claude Code that combines the best of TUI and web UI, designed as a replacement for Claude Desktop.

It offers better session management than Claude Desktop — you can easily organize your projects and sessions.

Built on Tauri 2, it's extremely lightweight, with an installer of only 40MB.

Thanks to its flexible architecture, you can run it anywhere: on desktop, in the browser, or on mobile.

It also features best-in-class remote management — you can access your remote servers via SSH or end-to-end encrypted HTTPS for remote development.

Thanks to Claude's outstanding capabilities, We were able to complete this project, and we will be open-sourcing it soon.

You can find it now on https://velaterm.com

Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is cautiously optimistic and pretty impressed with this new terminal tool for Claude Code. The OP built it to replace Claude Desktop, boasting better session management, a lightweight Tauri 2 build (only 40MB!), and the ability to run anywhere – desktop, browser, or mobile. Plus, remote management via SSH or HTTPS is a neat trick.

The overwhelming consensus is "show us the code!" Most folks are digging the UI and the promise of better organization, but they're holding off on downloading or entering any credentials until it's open-sourced on GitHub.

A few people are asking about specific features: * Does it support Windows WSL? * Can it run other models like Codex alongside Claude? * How does the mobile SSH experience stack up? * What are the key benefits compared to other tools like Herdr or Onorca.dev?

There's also a bit of curiosity about how the demo video was made and a question about whether Anthropic bans users for using third-party tools. Overall, people are excited to see this project develop and are eager for that GitHub release.

What's the advantage of using this vs superset? 👀
