CoCalc feature
Run Linux Graphical Applications Online
Wayland and X11 applications streamed into your browser.
Stream Wayland and X11 application windows from a Linux project with graphical support. Share a live display, use browser clipboard permissions and PipeWire audio, and choose compatible launchers.
Run Linux GUI applications in a shared project with compatible graphical support, clipboard permissions, sound, and application launchers.
Linux GUI applications in the browser
In a Linux project with graphical support installed, open an .x11 file and launch Wayland or X11 applications. Automatic dependency installation needs compatible package tools and sudo permissions.
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 shared live display; stopping the project or graphical app ends its running applications
- Check DISPLAY in the running graphical terminal before launching X11 programs from another terminal or notebook in the same project runtime
