PandaNpc

Installation

Installation

PandaNpc has two parts: the client (where you control Claude Code) and pandapaw (which you install on the machine where Claude Code runs). For remote Claude Code you need both; for the web client or built-in AI chat, just the client.

Client

iOS

Get the PandaNpc app from the App Store, then sign in. The iOS app is focused on remote Claude Code — scan a QR code to connect to your dev machine.

Windows

  1. Download the .exe installer from pandanpc.com
  2. Run it — no admin privileges required
  3. Launch from the desktop or Start Menu

Windows SmartScreen may warn on first launch. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" — normal for new apps.

macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel)

  1. Download the .dmg from pandanpc.com
  2. Drag PandaNpc to Applications
  3. First launch: right-click → "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper

Requires macOS 11+ (universal binary, runs natively on Apple Silicon and Intel).

Linux

  1. Download the .AppImage from pandanpc.com
  2. chmod +x PandaNpc_*.AppImage
  3. Run: ./PandaNpc_*.AppImage

Ubuntu 20.04+ / Debian-based, x86_64.

Web

No install — just open pandanpc.com in any browser and sign in.

pandapaw (for remote Claude Code)

Install on the machine where Claude Code runs:

macOS / Linux

bash
curl -fsSL https://cos.pandanpc.com/pandapaw/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

powershell
iwr -useb https://cos.pandanpc.com/pandapaw/install.ps1 | iex

It installs as an always-on background service and prints a QR code to connect. See Claude Code Bridge (pandapaw) for details.

Updates

  • Client: the desktop app checks for updates on launch — click "Update" when prompted (or Settings → About → Check for Updates). iOS updates via the App Store.
  • pandapaw: re-run the install command above; your connection is preserved.

Uninstall

  • Windows: Settings → Apps → PandaNpc → Uninstall
  • macOS: drag PandaNpc from Applications to Trash
  • Linux: delete the AppImage
  • pandapaw: run pandapaw uninstall
