# Kimi Launches Kimi Code Desktop for macOS and Windows

The standalone desktop application includes multi-agent parallel execution, an integrated browser and terminal, and support for third-party model providers.

- Supports multi-agent parallel workflows and background execution for long-horizon programming tasks
- Integrates a side-panel browser, terminal, code diff viewer, and file preview directly within the application
- Allows users to highlight webpage elements, annotate screenshots, and drag-and-drop folders into the prompt input
- Provides three agent permission tiers: always ask, ask when needed, and fully automatic execution
- Features a plugin marketplace and allows developers to bring their own model providers

## Why it matters

Developers using Kimi can now run multi-agent, end-to-end coding and browser workflows locally without context-switching between separate tools.
