Starling, the open-source desktop environment [1]written in Swift and with its own Wayland compositor too and written largely via Claude Code, has now rolled out its own AI-generated office suite.

Add to the AI-generated open-source office suite creations that have recently emerged, Starling Office v0.1 debuted as an alternative to the likes of LibreOffice and ONLYOFFICE for the Starling Linux desktop. Starling Office initially consists of a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation editor and can handle popular Microsoft Office formats like DOCX / XLSX / PPTX.

This Starling Office app is authored in the Swift programming language and again with Claude Code. Those curious can find the code [3]here .

Starling Office doesn't depend upon the Starling desktop to run and is even offered in binaries for macOS and Windows too. For Linux there is a Flatpak version as well as a Debian package. I briefly tried out Starling Office v0.1 on Ubuntu Linux and it worked.
