PiClaw

Chat, files, editor, and shell share one browser window, so nothing the agent does happens out of sight. PiClaw streams replies from the model provider you configure, hosted or a local OpenAI-compatible server, and you can steer a running turn, queue follow-ups, or branch a side question with /btw. The workspace sidebar shows a file tree with folder sizes. Open a Markdown note for a live preview with checklists and tables, a CSV for a table view, or a script in the code editor with syntax highlighting and an optional Vim mode. A detachable terminal runs shell commands in the same workspace, and the agent's own file and shell tools work there too. Scheduled tasks run on cron timings, chat history stays searchable between visits, and nightly Dream memory consolidates notes into plain files. Settings pages cover providers, models, MCP servers, keychain secrets, budgets, and session recordings. Optional add-ons bring Draw.io, kanban boards, and Proxmox or Portainer tools. Browser sign-in supports authenticator codes and passkeys, and the layout adapts to phones. A homelab server, a laptop, and a phone can all open the same private agent workspace, which suits solo developers and small teams. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Benefits

  • Agent, Files, And Shell Together
  • Chat with the agent, browse the workspace, edit files, and run commands in one window, so you can check every change the agent makes without switching tools.
  • Bring Any Model Provider
  • Connect hosted providers or a local OpenAI-compatible server, pick a model from the in-app picker, and change it later without touching container settings or API keys in the command line.
  • Work Continues Between Visits
  • Conversations, files, scheduled tasks, and searchable history persist on your server, so you can return the next day and pick up exactly where the agent stopped.
  • Private By Default, Secure Later
  • A fresh instance binds to localhost only, and you can add authenticator-code or passkey sign-in plus HTTPS before opening it to other machines.

Features

  • Streaming Chat With Steering
  • Watch replies stream in, steer a running turn, queue follow-up messages, and branch side questions without losing the main conversation thread.
  • Workspace Editor And Viewers
  • Open Markdown with live preview, CSV as tables, and code with syntax highlighting, search and replace, and an optional Vim mode.
  • Detachable Terminal
  • Run shell commands in the workspace from a docked terminal panel, or pop it out into its own window beside your chat.
  • Scheduled Tasks And Memory
  • Create cron-style tasks, review their runs, and let nightly Dream memory consolidate notes and preferences into files the agent can read.
  • Settings And MCP Servers
  • Manage providers, models, MCP servers, keychain secrets, budgets, and add-ons from one settings dialog with a filterable models catalogue.
