Why OpenCovibe?

AI coding CLIs like Claude Code and Codex are powerful, but their terminal-first interfaces make long-running work, visual review, and cross-session management harder to follow. OpenCovibe wraps these CLIs with a native desktop UI that adds a persistent dashboard, structured tool activity, visual diffs, and searchable run history — while keeping app data stored locally. Remote model APIs still require network access; OpenCovibe itself has no cloud backend.

Platform status: Pre-built packages are available for macOS 13+ (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows 10+ x64. Linux is supported through source builds. Development and testing are still primarily performed on macOS, so Windows and Linux bug reports are especially welcome.

Core principle: Wrap the CLI, surface the work, keep it local.
