What the app does
Helicon's capabilities come from reading the Muse Code Session Protocol directly: session history with resume, inline diffs, an approval queue mapped one to one, cost at published per token rates, projects grouped by working directory, a file viewer, subagent and workflow controls, and full keyboard operation.
One page per capability, written for the thing you would actually search for.
- Session history and resumeEvery Muse Code session, grouped by project, with full history and one click resume. Sessions started in the muse terminal TUI are discovered and resumable too.
- Inline diffsEvery file the agent edits lands as a diff at the point in the conversation where it happened, with the touched file open in a viewer beside the thread.
- ApprovalsEvery approval Muse Code raises appears in Helicon the moment it arrives. onRequest, promptUnmatched and denyUnmatched are mapped one to one, and allow all is an explicit opt in.
- Cost at API ratesSee what every Muse Code thread would have cost at published per token rates, broken down by day, by model and by thread. A meter reading on your subscription, not a bill.
- Plan meterHelicon shows the Muse Code 5 hour window and weekly cap exactly as the CLI reports them, in the sidebar and on the usage page, so a limit never arrives as a surprise.
- Projects and worktreesHelicon groups every Muse Code thread under the directory the agent worked in, isolated git worktrees included, so parallel work across repositories has one place to live.
- Keyboard and paletteA command palette, slash commands and a model and reasoning effort picker. Every project, session and action in Helicon is reachable without the mouse.
- File viewerBrowse the project, read highlighted source, preview and edit Markdown, and view images, video and PDFs. Any path Muse Code mentions opens beside the conversation.
- Remote daemon and web UIThe same Helicon UI ships as a web app pointed at a daemon on another machine, so a laptop can supervise Muse Code running on a workstation or a server.
- Subagents and workflowsParallel subagents and workflow runs are hard to follow in a terminal. Helicon shows them as structure: what is running, what finished, and what you can cancel or retry.
- GoalsSet, pause, resume, change and clear a Muse Code goal from the goal panel or the composer, without dropping back into the terminal to retype a slash command.
- Background workSend a running tool call to the background, stop one, or stop them all. Cancel a workflow run, or skip and retry its agents, without abandoning the thread.
