cables.gl Standalone is a cross-platform visual programming environment for creating interactive graphics, animations, and real-time visual experiences. It packages the cables.gl editor into an Electron desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can build projects by connecting visual operators called ops instead of writing extensive code. Its node-based workflow supports generative art, interactive installations, and shader-driven graphics. The desktop edition brings the editor and its operators into a standalone environment with additional access to local system capabilities. Developers can create custom operators and experiment with JavaScript-based interactions. Command-line options allow launching the editor in fullscreen mode or maximizing its renderer. The application remains under active development, with experimental capabilities and evolving desktop integration.
