Guided workflow
Use a practical GUI for course setup, asset management, runtime preview, and export.
Open-source desktop app for course creation
Build and test courses locally with full source access. Connect optional CourseCode Cloud only when you want hosted deploys, managed auth, credits, or collaboration.
Why Desktop
Local by default
Your project files stay on your machine and in your repository, with no cloud dependency.
Open source foundation
Desktop and framework code are open for review, audit, issue reporting, and pull requests.
How it works
Install for macOS or Windows from verified releases.
Start a new local course project with templates and setup prompts.
Run and validate content in a local runtime before sharing.
Export locally or choose optional cloud deployment.
