Standalone macOS App for Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Notebook

• A standalone app for your Jupyter Lab / Notebook. No more finding Jupyter Lab under your piles of browser tabs!
• Directly drag & drop a folder to the Jupter Desktop's Dock icon and launch a Jupyter Lab session. It even kills the Jupyter Lab seesion when you close the window.
• Support multiple instances.
• Prefer launching from Terminal? Sure thing.
• Big Sur ready.

Grab a copy from the release page.

You can now open the app, drag & drop a folder to launch a Jupyter Lab there!

If you prefer to launch from terminal, follow the steps below:

You need to generate a configuration file for your Jupyter Lab, if you havn't already.

jupyter lab --generate-config
jupyter notebook --generate-config # or for Notebook

Then you need to add the following line in your configuration file ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py.

c.LabApp.browser = '/Applications/Jupyter\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/Jupyter\ Desktop %s'
c.NotebookApp.browser = '/Applications/Jupyter\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/Jupyter\ Desktop %s' # or also for Notebook

Now you can normally start a Jupyter Lab or Notebook session in terminal.

jupyter lab
# or
jupyter notebook
