About JupyterLab Desktop
JupyterLab Desktop is the cross-platform desktop application for JupyterLab. The project describes it as the quickest and easiest way to get started with Jupyter notebooks on your personal computer, with the flexibility to handle advanced use cases.
It helps anyone who works with notebooks open files and folders directly, keep each project's Python environment and layout separate, and connect to JupyterLab servers that are already running locally or remotely.
Highlights
- Open .ipynb files by double-clicking, or launch from the command line with the jlab command
- Sessions you can restore later from a Recent sessions list on the Welcome Page
- Each working directory is its own project, with its own Python environment and UI layout
- Connect to an existing JupyterLab server running locally or remotely
- Start a new notebook or session, or open files and folders, from the Welcome Page or by drag and drop
- Supports prebuilt JupyterLab extensions
