- System tray integration for every app
- Hardware acceleration for improved performance
- Media access enabled for voice input
- Single instance lock prevents duplicate windows
- Persistent session management (DeepSeek, Perplexity)
- MCP support and global hotkey Ctrl+Alt+Space (Claude)
- Cross-platform build configuration with Linux focus

Navigate to the desired app directory (e.g., ChatGPT_APP), run npm install, then npm start to launch or npm run build to produce an AppImage. For Claude, use sudo ./build-deb.sh then sudo dpkg -i ./build/electron-app/claude-desktop_*.deb.
