Local-first by default
Runs, memory, config, browser profiles, and artifacts live under your home directory. Nothing leaves the machine unless a provider call or an explicit export says so.
Libre Claw
About Libre Claw
Libre Claw is an open-source, local-first terminal AI coding agent harness built by Kroonen AI for long-running, reviewable, remote-controllable software work.
The harness matters as much as the model.
Libre Claw is a terminal-native autonomous coding agent harness. The model writes the code; the harness decides whether that work is resumable, reviewable, safe, attributable, and pleasant to use every day. That is the layer Libre Claw builds.
It is built by Kroonen AI and released under Apache-2.0, with source on GitHub and a GitLab mirror.
Why another agent?
Because the model is only half of the product. Generic coding agents treat a session as a disposable chat. Libre Claw treats agent work as a durable run: state, events, artifacts, usage, verification notes, and cancellation are first-class. You can stop a run, close the laptop, and pick it up later — locally or from Telegram — without losing context.
Because serious work needs oversight. Every side effect asks first. Every tool call is logged. Every run is replayable. The harness is built for the times you need to trust what an agent did, not just what it said.
What it optimizes for
Permissioned side effects
Writes, shell, browser actions, git commits, and MCP calls ask before they run. Approvals happen in the TUI, the dashboard, or inline on Telegram.
Auditable runs
Every task is an append-only JSONL run with events, tool calls, usage, artifacts, and a final summary. You can replay what happened and prove what was approved.
Portable, not lock-in
Skills, SOUL.md, provider routing, and fallback slots move across projects and models. The harness is open-source under Apache-2.0 with a GitLab mirror.
Four surfaces, one daemon
TUI
A Textual terminal UI for pairing with the agent, reviewing tool calls, and driving long sessions from the shell.
Daemon
A local daemon that owns durable runs, schedules, approvals, and the dashboard control plane at 127.0.0.1.
Web UI
Libre WebUI adds a browser control surface with run timelines, approvals, automations, and usage, all talking to the same daemon.
Telegram
A Telegram bridge wired into the same daemon so approvals, status, and scheduled reports reach your phone without forking the agent.
Ecosystem
Libre WebUI
A privacy-first, self-hosted AI chat interface from Kroonen AI. Its 0.12 release makes Libre Claw a first-class citizen with a dedicated agent page, run timelines, inline tool approvals, automations, and provider usage — a full browser control surface over the same local daemon. See the integration docs.
