Aiola is the local agentic desktop app for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, and OpenCode — one multi-provider workspace with per-project execution and a portfolio-level command center for tasks, code review, error monitoring, feedback, automations, and analytics. Available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows.
Aiola is a local agentic desktop app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, and OpenCode agents across all of your projects from one workspace. It is the agentic command center for tasks, AI PR review, app-log triage, feedback, scheduled automations, MCP servers, and analytics — with an auto-PR pipeline that turns completed tasks into pushed pull requests.

Aiola does not bundle an LLM. To run agents, you must have at least one of these installed locally and authenticated with your own provider access:
- Claude Code SDK / CLI — Anthropic's official Claude Code distribution
- Codex SDK / CLI — OpenAI's official Codex distribution
- Cursor (
cursor-agent) — Cursor's official agent distribution, with Git cloning support - Grok CLI (
grok) — xAI's coding agent. Install withcurl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash, then sign in withgrok agent --reauth - OpenCode (
opencode) — the supported open-source, provider-agnostic coding agent. Install withcurl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash, then sign in withopencode auth login
Aiola detects which providers are installed at startup, hides providers that aren't installed from the model picker, and auto-selects the provider when only one is available. Install at least one before launching the app.
Running multiple software projects with agentic tools — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, and OpenCode — gets messy fast. The CLI is fine for one project; it falls over when you have eight.
Aiola is a local Electron + Next.js agentic desktop app designed for that exact workflow:
- One workspace per project, plus a central command center that aggregates everything across workspaces
- Agentic execution backed by Claude Code SDK, Codex SDK, Cursor (
cursor-agent), Grok CLI (grok), and OpenCode (opencode) — pick a default, override per thread - Chat-driven dashboard wired to thread state, terminals, browser panels, diffs, and Git
- Tasks with a real state machine and an auto-PR pipeline that pushes the branch and runs
gh pr create - AI PR review and fix flows on incoming pull requests, with optional auto-comment back
- App-log triage with live grouping, AI analyze, AI fix
- Feedback capture and triage with customizable fields
- Automations — scheduled agentic jobs across one or all workspaces
- Notebook (Plan, Notes, Todo), Quick Note scratchpad, Canvas whiteboard, Skills library, Agents catalog, MCP server manager
- Analytics, Calendar, Terminals — per-project and central
- Per-project knowledge base (
brief.md,rules.md, profile fields) the agents read from
Aiola is not a code editor. It is the agentic operations layer between your editor, your terminals, and your GitHub repos.
Your code and repos stay on your machine. Agent prompts and file context are sent only to the AI provider you choose — Anthropic (Claude Code), OpenAI (Codex), Cursor, xAI (Grok CLI), or whichever provider you configure in OpenCode — under your own subscription. Aiola never proxies, stores, or resells your code or model traffic. Threads, tasks, notes, and automations are stored locally (SQLite + plain files in your repo). If you use the optional analytics/logs/feedback layer for your shipped products, that telemetry is ingested via Aiola's cloud (Supabase/Tinybird). Offline: agent orchestration UI works offline; running agents requires provider access; GUI Lifetime keeps the local app opening even if Aiola's servers are unreachable.
- Local-first execution — no cloud runner, no compute resale, no API-key middleman. You bring your own subscription and pay your provider directly.

This list mirrors the in-app sidebar 1:1 — every page is a real feature shipped today.
| Page | What it does | Problem it solves |
|---|---|---|
/dashboard |
Chat-driven operating surface tying threads to tasks, terminals, browser panels, diffs, Git | One screen for the whole flow instead of switching between editor, terminal, and GitHub |
/home |
Workspace landing; routes to welcome, onboarding, or central depending on state | Stops users from landing in the wrong place mid-onboarding |
/tasks |
Task board + list with state machine, drag-and-drop, imports, agent runs, auto-PR on completion | Scattered to-dos that aren't tied to actual execution |
/github |
PR/issue dashboard with AI review, AI fix flows, optional auto-comment, duplicate detection, bulk actions | Incoming PR/issue overload |
/app-logs |
Live error grouping with AI analyze, AI fix, status changes, realtime updates | Debugging noise that gets lost when each project generates its own error stream |
/feedback |
User feedback triage with customizable issue/feature field definitions | Feedback turning into a graveyard |
/analytics |
Stats, trends, geography, breakdowns, referrers, funnels, journeys, heatmaps, goals, realtime visitors | Separates product performance from code questions |
/calendar |
Scheduled tasks and recurring automations on one timeline | Scheduled work hidden inside lists |
/notebook |
One surface with three modes — Plan (nested-block editor), Notes (Apple Notes-style, searchable, #note-mentionable into chat), Todo (per-workspace checklist) — plus a Quick Note scratchpad (⌘⇧J) and Canvas whiteboard everywhere | Vague notes instead of a concrete execution plan, and no place to capture notes or todos beside the work |
/automations |

Repetitive triage and reporting |
/agents |
Browse built-in agent templates, create custom agents, attach skills | Agent roles living in ad hoc prompts |

/central/home, /central/tasks, /central/github, /central/app-logs, /central/feedback, /central/analytics, /central/calendar, /central/terminals, /central/settings (with appearance, keybinds, usage sub-pages).
Every central view aggregates the equivalent workspace data so you can prioritize across the whole portfolio.
/settings, /settings/git, /settings/integrations (Stripe, Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools), /settings/environment (env scanner + .gitignore cleanup), /settings/tasks, /settings/mcp, /settings/analytics, /settings/app-logs, /settings/usage, /settings/archived-threads, /settings/api-key, /settings/instructions.
When a task moves to create_pr, Aiola:
- Checks out the task branch in a worktree
- Commits any dirty changes
- Merges subtask branches if present
- Pushes the branch
- Creates the PR with
gh pr create
If the pipeline fails too many times, the task lands in human_review with a pr-failed label, and a recovery sweep retries stuck tasks. A crash or transient git failure does not permanently wedge the task.
On any incoming PR you can trigger an AI review with the PR's files and history, or a fix flow that creates a worktree-backed thread on the PR branch using the same provider/model as the rest of the workspace. Optional auto-comment posts a concise summary back to the PR. Duplicate detection can auto-close duplicate issues and PRs.

GUI Lifetime includes the agent orchestrator GUI only; it does not include hosted analytics, app logs, feedback, or other hosted operations pages.
Monthly and yearly Pro include the same app capabilities. Only the billing cadence and price change. You bring your own provider access for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, or OpenCode; Aiola never resells compute and adds no API-key markup.
| Tool | What it is | How Aiola differs |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code (CLI) | CLI-first agentic coding tool | Aiola is the agentic desktop app around it — workspaces, tasks, auto-PR pipeline, AI PR review, app logs, feedback, automations, MCP manager |
| Codex (CLI) | OpenAI agentic coding CLI | Aiola runs Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok CLI, and OpenCode side-by-side, and adds the same agentic surface as above |
| Cursor | AI-native single-project editor (and a supported Aiola provider via cursor-agent) |
Aiola runs Cursor's agent as one of its providers; as a product it is not an editor, it is the agentic operations layer across many repos |
| VSCode | General-purpose editor | Aiola is a dedicated agentic workspace, not an editor |
| Tool | Platforms | Supported agent CLIs | Local-first & data ownership | Price | Ops layer | How Aiola differs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aiola | macOS + Windows | Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, OpenCode | Local workspace data; optional telemetry uses Aiola cloud | GUI Lifetime $49 / $89 / $129 — one-time launch pricing, coming soon; not purchasable today | Yes | — |
| Conductor | macOS only | Claude Code, Codex, Cursor | Local | Free | No | Aiola adds Windows + the operations layer + central cross-project view |
| Vibe Kanban | Cross-platform | 10+ CLIs | Local (open source) | Free | No | Aiola is a maintained product with a broader ops layer |
| opcode | Cross-platform | Claude only | Local (open source) | Free | No | Aiola also runs Codex + Cursor + Grok CLI + OpenCode and adds the ops layer |
| Omnara | Mobile / web | Claude Code, Codex | Cloud relay dependency | Free tier; $9/month unlimited (verified July 2026) | Partial | Aiola has more desktop depth, adds Cursor + Grok CLI + OpenCode + analytics/logs/feedback |

What is Aiola? Aiola is a local desktop app for running Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI, and OpenCode agents across all your projects from one place — with threads, tasks, GitHub, app logs, analytics, feedback, automations, and agents. It runs on macOS and Windows.
Which AI coding tools does it work with? Aiola supports five agent CLIs: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok CLI (including grok-4.5), and OpenCode. You bring your own provider access and Aiola orchestrates all five from one app — no API-key markup and no compute resale. OpenCode uses the model access you configure in OpenCode.
How much does it cost? The download is free with a 7-day free trial. Pro starts at $24/month, with yearly billing at 10× the monthly price (2 months free). GUI Lifetime is announced at launch pricing: first 10 customers $49, next 30 $89, then $129. One-time payment. Coming soon; not purchasable today.
What platforms does it run on? macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 11+) and Windows 10+ (64-bit). A phone companion is coming.
Is Aiola an IDE? No. Aiola is the layer above your editor and CLI, not a replacement. Your agents run locally against your own repositories using your own subscription, so your code is never uploaded to Aiola — it stays on your machine and goes only to the AI provider you already subscribe to.
