Helicon is an unofficial open-source desktop app and VS Code extension that provides a graphical interface for Meta's terminal-only Muse Code CLI, similar to Claude Code's desktop app. It wraps the CLI via a Tauri shell with a shared React UI and a Node daemon that speaks the Muse Session Protocol, offering project/session management, inline diffs, approval handling, and usage metrics across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Target audience: developers using Meta Muse Code CLI
