Alchemist Coder 1.0, the first release: a free, open-source (AGPL-3.0) desktop app for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Grok Build, for macOS, Windows and Linux.

What it does

  • One history for your coding agents. Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Grok Build conversations in one index on your computer, with full-text search. Your original files are only read. An optional versioned backup keeps what the CLIs delete.
  • Every agent and subagent, live. Each conversation is a tree of the main agent, its subagents and theirs, with status, tokens, time and cost. A chat by agent puts each one in its own tab.
  • Your organization of agents. A coordinator plans your assignment, you approve it, and your agents do the work, each with its role, model, permissions, projects and picture, in its own git copy. See it all as an org chart; the status bar tells you who's working and who needs you.
  • Automations. Describe a routine in plain words and an agent draws it as a flow diagram. It runs every day, on some weekdays, every few minutes or nonstop, with a daily spending cap. You choose how much it decides alone, and its questions reach your Mac and your phone through your own Telegram bot.
  • Arena. Several agents solve the same task, each in its own git worktree; compare their changes and tests and merge the best.
  • A workspace for it all. Several projects at once, a Board of tasks by phase, a Git tab in plain words, an editor with your VS Code themes and a built-in terminal.
  • Local models (Ollama, LM Studio) in the free Community edition. Agents run through the Agent Client Protocol, so you see their plan, tool calls, diffs and permission requests in the app.

New since 0.1.9

  • Installers that open on a fresh machine. The Mac app is now signed ad hoc: downloaded, 0.1.9 could be reported as "damaged". The .deb declares the audio library Electron needs, and the AppImage no longer needs libfuse2 on Ubuntu 22.04 and later.
  • Every installer is tested as you get it. Before a release, the DMG's app (with its signature checked), the Windows setup (installed silently), the .deb (through apt) and the AppImage are each installed and opened on a real machine of their platform.

Download

  • macOS: -arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or -x64.dmg (Intel). The app isn't notarized by Apple yet: the first time, macOS says it can't verify it. Click Done, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
  • Windows: -setup.exe. If SmartScreen warns you, choose More info → Run anyway.
  • Linux: -x86_64.AppImage (make it executable; no extra packages needed) or -amd64.deb (sudo apt install ./Alchemist-Coder-1.0.0-amd64.deb).
