// AI coding agent workbench

Run AI coding in parallel,
all under control

A local-first workbench for AI coding agents. A sticker when expanded, an electronic traffic light when collapsed — one click jumps to the terminal.

Open source · MIT · Windows & macOS · no AI CLI needed upfront · v0.6.7

ERROR

A session errored out and stopped — red jumps out first, never buried under other windows.

WAITING

A session is waiting for your confirmation or reply — amber reminds you, sorted by wait time.

RUNNING

Everything else is making progress — green means leave it alone and focus on your work.

Chat window

Open a card for the full structured conversation

Open any session card and you're in that session's chat window: messages, tool calls and subagents all in place — no scrolling terminal output. Commands awaiting approval and popup menus become buttons you can just click.

  • Tool calls fold into one-line summaries; expand for full I/O — subagents get their own timeline
  • When the agent breaks a task down, its todo list shows live in the conversation
  • Trust prompts, long-session resume and model pickers render as buttons
  • Approval cards sit above the composer — approve or deny in one click
  • Slash commands come with completion; model and mode switch right in the composer
  • Chat and terminal views side by side — drop into the raw terminal anytime
Full workflow

From sessions to environment, managed in one place

Session board

Project, session title, the latest AI output, connection state — one card tells it all. Agents that expose Context also show how full the context window is, so you know which session is about to burst.

Click to jump to the terminal tab

Click a card and you land in its terminal tab — Windows Terminal on Windows, Terminal or iTerm2 on macOS. Disconnected? Meowo returns to the project directory and resumes the session the tool's own way — no IDs or resume flags to remember.

Agent todo list

When the agent breaks a task into steps, the chat window shows its todo list live: the item in progress and how many of the list are done, refreshed as hooks land. No scrolling terminal output to find the progress.

Approvals & menus as buttons

Commands awaiting approval and popup menus render as buttons in the chat window: allow / deny, trust prompts, long-session resume, model pickers. One click sends the matching keys back to the terminal — no keyboard replies.

Multiple accounts + API relay

Keep several official accounts per tool, switch in one click, each with its own credentials and history. Or fill in a relay address and key per model to use an API relay — mutually exclusive, and the official account keeps serving while you configure.

Local-first

Sessions and settings live only in ~/.meowo/ as local SQLite; the reporter and the app talk only through that file. No Meowo server, no uploaded conversations — works just fine offline.

One-click install, sign-in & connect

Install Claude Code, Codex, Kimi, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode right in the app and start the login; the required hooks are wired automatically. Detect a broken connection? One more click repairs it.

Quota & context monitoring

The sticker's bottom bar tracks 5-hour / 7-day quota live, turning redder near the cap; every card shows context usage. You see limits coming — no sudden interruption catching you off guard.

Your desktop, your call

Styles and colors, switched on a whim

The block below is live — click around and watch it change.

You can also tune opacity (to let the frosted desktop show through) and UI density.

Platforms

Feels native on Windows and macOS

Windows · Desktop sticker

A resident sticker pinned to a desktop corner; drag it to a screen edge and it folds into a traffic light.

  • Drag to the left / right / top edge to shrink into a status strip; hover to expand
  • Pin on top; remembers last position and snap edge across restarts
  • Hover the tray icon to see needs-you and running counts

macOS · Menu-bar panel

A native panel from the menu-bar icon that auto-hides on blur — no Dock space taken.

  • Left-click the icon for the panel; it hides when it loses focus
  • The menu-bar icon shows running and needs-you counts
  • Separate Apple silicon and Intel builds, signed & notarized, double-click to open

Tuck your parallel AI coding into a corner of your desktop

Fewer terminal switches, fewer commands. Every session's status, quota, and to-dos — all under control.
