Run Linux Graphical Applications Online

Wayland and X11 applications streamed into your browser.

Run Linux graphical applications online with CoCalc: browser-streamed Wayland and X11 windows, clipboard and PipeWire audio, persistent shared sessions, launchers, and an X11 software environment.

Run Linux GUI applications in a shared CoCalc project with browser clipboard, sound, persistent sessions, and install-on-demand launchers.

Linux GUI applications in the browser

Open an .x11 file and launch native Wayland or X11 applications inside the same persistent Linux project as your files, terminals, and notebooks.

CoCalc embeds Blit's headless Wayland compositor and uses xwayland-satellite for X11 compatibility, so applications appear as focused browser surfaces instead of inside a traditional remote desktop.

  • Browser clipboard and PipeWire application audio
  • Install-on-demand launchers and a ready-made X11 software environment
  • One persistent graphical display shared by every collaborator and browser
  • Launch applications from the graphical terminal, a normal terminal, scripts, or Jupyter
