Leaked Claude Code, now with a GUI and a conscience
A desktop wrapper around Anthropic's leaked CLI that adds visual diffs, permission gates, and remote IM control.

What it does
Claude Code Haha takes the infamous March 2026 leak from Anthropic’s npm registry and rebuilds it into a Tauri 2 desktop app for macOS and Windows. You get tabbed sessions, branch-aware worktrees, side-by-side code diffs, and a permission gate for dangerous commands — all the stuff that makes terminal-only AI coding feel like driving with the hood welded shut.
The interesting bit
The project doesn’t just slap a UI on leaked code. It adds Computer Use (screen capture, mouse/keyboard control), H5 remote access via one-time tokens, and IM integrations (Telegram, Feishu, WeChat, DingTalk) so you can approve agent actions from your phone. That’s a lot of surface area for a solo side project.
Key highlights
- Multi-session workspace with project switching, terminal access, and session history in one window
- Branch/Worktree isolation — start sessions against specific branches without polluting your working tree
- Right-side changes panel shows modified files, line counts, and workspace state while you chat
- Permission flows for risky commands, tool calls, and AI clarifications, all routed through the GUI
- Multi-provider support — Anthropic-compatible APIs, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Ollama, plus web search fallback
- Remote access via H5 tokens or IM bots, plus scheduled tasks and local token-usage tracking
Caveats
- The source is a leak, and the README explicitly states “for learning and research purposes only”; the legal and ethical status is murky
- macOS Gatekeeper may block the app on first launch, requiring manual override
- Personal spare-time project with commercial sponsorships — long-term maintenance is uncertain
Verdict
Worth a look if you want Claude Code’s agentic coding with a visual safety rail and remote control. Skip it if the provenance makes you nervous or if you need enterprise-grade support.
