Features
Read what the agent touched
Helicon puts a file viewer next to the thread. You can browse the project tree, read source with syntax highlighting, preview and edit Markdown, and open images, video and PDFs. Paths the agent mentions in the conversation open there directly, so reviewing a change does not mean switching apps.

Why it is beside the thread, not instead of it
Reviewing agent work is a two column job: what it said and what it did. Putting the file next to the conversation keeps both in view. Helicon is not trying to be your editor, so the viewer optimises for reading rather than for writing.
Every feature here ships in the free Muse Code desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. Try Helicon in your browser on sample data, or install Helicon and point it at your own muse login.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit source in the viewer?
Markdown is editable. Source files are read oriented, because Helicon is a client for an agent rather than an editor.
Does it index my whole disk?
No. It browses the project directories you add, nothing else.
Does it work in the web build?
Yes. The same UI ships as a web app against a daemon, so the viewer reads files on the daemon's machine.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
