All your AI accounts,
open at once.

Windows SmartScreen shows this for every new program that is not signed with a paid code-signing certificate, whatever the program does. FreeDesktop is not signed yet, so choose More info, then Run anyway. The setup and the app only start the AI apps you already have and send nothing anywhere. Once FreeDesktop is signed, the warning goes away.

Yes. There is no trial, no paid version and no account, and profiles stay open as long as you like.

Claude’s Google sign-in returns through a claude:// link, which Windows normally gives to the main Claude window. While FreeDesktop is open, it takes that link and passes it to the Claude window you used last. Keep FreeDesktop open while signing in, and sign in to one profile at a time. ChatGPT needs nothing of this.

It runs an AI coding agent you already have on your PC: Claude Code with its own sign-in, or the Codex and OpenCode that come with the ChatGPT and OpenCode apps, with the profile you pick. It uses that account’s plan like any other request; FreeDesktop adds no cost and sends nothing itself. The agent works in the extension’s folder: Claude Code gets only file tools there and no commands, Codex runs in its sandbox that can only write to that folder, and OpenCode follows its own permission settings. An extension is C# code that runs with your rights, so look at Show code for extensions from others, and start FreeDesktop with Shift held down if one ever stops it from working.

Yes: select it on the Extensions page and choose Publish. It goes to the FreeDesktop Store through GitHub, with your sign-in of the GitHub CLI (gh auth login once). The store’s owner publishes directly; from other accounts it arrives as a pull request that is checked before it appears in the Store. Export makes a file you can send instead.

Every open app window becomes a tab of the FreeDesktop window, so Windows shows one taskbar button and one Alt+Tab entry. The tab bar slides away while you work; move the mouse to the top edge to bring it back. Side by side shows all accounts at once, and a click into one makes it the active account. Full screen (or F11) covers the whole screen. Right-click a tab to open it as a separate window again. When FreeDesktop closes, every window goes back to being a window of its own.

Yes, as a single file for x86_64 and ARM64 that runs on any distribution. It makes profiles for Claude Desktop (the community claude-desktop package) and Antigravity, with a launcher in your app menu each: freedesktop add claude Work. Claude’s sign-in returns to the profile started last. Tabs are Windows only, because Wayland does not let one program take another program’s window. ChatGPT has no Linux desktop app.

Yes. A new Claude, ChatGPT or OpenCode profile gets the MCP servers of your main profile, and “Copy MCP from main” brings over ones you added later. Connectors of your account (claude.ai, chatgpt.com) are stored online and come with the sign-in. Antigravity profiles already share one configuration.

Select a profile and click “Export data”: its sign-in, settings, MCP servers and the chats, memory and history it keeps on this PC go into one ZIP file. “Clear data” deletes exactly those folders, after showing you the list, so the app starts like a new install. What is stored in your account online stays there.

Each account is a full copy of the app, with its own browser engine: 300 MB to 1 GB each is normal. The list shows how much every account uses; “Close” ends an account you are not using. FreeDesktop itself uses about 60 MB and well under 1 % of the processor; it checks the apps every 4 seconds while its list is in front and every 15 seconds otherwise.

FreeDesktop installs app updates once a day through winget for the apps that are not open (you can switch that off), and ChatGPT is updated by the Microsoft Store. It looks up the installed version every time it starts a profile, so updates need nothing from you. If a future version changes how the app starts, an extra profile may close right after opening until FreeDesktop is updated.

Claude and ChatGPT keep running in the system tray after you close their window. Start brings the window back. Remove closes a running profile for you before deleting it.

Select the profile and click Remove. That deletes its data on this PC and its shortcuts; chats saved in your account stay there. To remove FreeDesktop, uninstall it in Settings > Apps (it asks whether to keep its settings); for the portable exe, delete the file and the folder %APPDATA%\FreeDesktop.
