Kimi Code Desktop Client Launches for macOS and Windows

The significance here is packaging, not capability: by bundling terminal, browser and Git status into a native app, Kimi is moving from a chat interface toward the developer's actual working surface, where switching costs and habit formation are strongest. That puts it in more direct contact with existing coding assistants and IDE-integrated tools, and matters most for developers who already live inside a terminal-plus-review loop. Whether a desktop client meaningfully changes retention versus a browser tab is the open question, along with how the Git and pull-request views hold up on real, messy repositories.
