aronprins/paperclip-desktop

Paperclip Desktop is an unofficial Electron wrapper around Paperclip. It bundles Paperclip (via the official @paperclipai/server npm package) inside a native desktop app for macOS. Windows and Linux builds are coming soon.

What it solves

Paperclip Desktop provides a simplified installation and launch process for Paperclip, an AI agent orchestration platform. It removes the need for users to interact with the terminal, install Node.js, or manually configure the environment, turning the software into a standard desktop application.

How it works

It is an Electron wrapper that bundles the official @paperclipai/server npm package and a Node.js binary. The app can operate in two modes: it can either run an embedded local server flow or connect to a verified remote Paperclip origin via health and session checks before loading the UI in a secure window.

Who it’s for

Users who want to run Paperclip's AI agent orchestration and autonomous company features without managing a technical setup or running commands in a terminal.

Highlights

  • One-click launch: Starts the Paperclip server and dashboard automatically upon opening.
  • Remote connection mode: Allows users to connect to authenticated remote Paperclip instances with saved connections.
  • Native desktop integration: Includes native menus, windowing, and a system tray.
  • Auto-updates: Automatically pulls new releases from GitHub Releases.
  • Cross-platform support: Currently available for macOS, with Windows and Linux builds planned.
