Remote daemon and the web build
Helicon is one React codebase that ships two ways: as a Tauri desktop app with a local daemon, and as a web app pointed at a daemon running elsewhere. That means you can run Muse Code on a workstation or a server and supervise it from a browser on a laptop, with the same sidebar, diffs and approvals.

Why one codebase matters
Web builds of desktop tools are usually the reduced version. Helicon's web app is the same UI compiled for a browser, so nothing is missing because of where you opened it.
What this is good for
- A big workstation runs the agents, a laptop watches them.
- The code lives on a machine that should not leave the office.
- Long running work continues when the laptop sleeps.
- A Linux server hosts the daemon while you are on Windows or macOS.
What it is not
There is no hosted Helicon service. The daemon is yours, on a machine you control, and the browser talks to it. Nothing about your code, prompts, threads or files passes through us.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a hosted version of Helicon?
No. The web app points at a daemon you run. There is no account and no service in the middle.
Can I use it over the internet?
The daemon is a normal service you can expose however you expose services. Put it behind your own tunnel, VPN or reverse proxy.
Is the web UI feature complete?
It is the same React UI as the desktop app, so the interface is the same. The difference is which machine the daemon runs on.

Same Muse Code. Same subscription. Better interface.
