Harness-native GUI
The first-party Qwen Code desktop shell with multi-session and split views, optional worktrees, visual Git diffs, and a bundled local runtime.
Qwen Code users who want the first-party visual workflow on macOS, Windows, or Linux without installing the CLI separately.

The current thin shell is intentionally local, single-window, and single-workspace at a time; remote backends and shared teammate access are not desktop capabilities.
Existing evidence gates classify four predefined workflows. Bands are non-numeric and do not rank product quality.
Stay close to one coding session and inspect changes in a dedicated visual surface.
Current sources document visual review, workspace isolation.Run several coding tasks on one machine without their branches or files colliding.
Current sources document parallel sessions, workspace isolation, visual review.Start or revisit coding work away from the machine where the repository is running.
The product is inactive or a required mechanism is contradicted by current evidence.Let teammates enter the same live workspace to watch, steer, preview, or review work.
The product is inactive or a required mechanism is contradicted by current evidence.Unknown means the current first-party record does not establish the mechanism; it is not converted into evidence of absence.
The shared Web Shell can select multiple sessions and display them concurrently in an in-window split view.
The new-session Git-mode control can create a named Git worktree and root the session in that checkout.
The Web Shell includes a dedicated Git diff dialog with file lists, expandable hunks, additions, deletions, and binary states.
The current Desktop design starts an authenticated daemon on a random loopback port and intentionally keeps external URLs outside the app.
Current first-party Desktop sources do not establish multiple teammates entering the same live workspace.
Implementation inspection and source-native activity provide investigation context. Neither changes workflow fit.
Daily source snapshots provide ecosystem context only. They do not affect workflow fit or capability claims.
