A desktop client for OpenClaw — three-column layout, multi-task parallel execution, structured progress tracking, and local file management with Git versioning.
- Three-column layout — Task list, conversation, and progress/artifacts panel
- Multi-task parallel — Run multiple AI tasks simultaneously with isolated sessions
- Structured progress — Real-time tool call visualization and step tracking
- Local-first artifacts — AI outputs auto-saved to a local Git repo, searchable and versioned
- Full-text search — SQLite FTS5 across tasks, messages, and files
- Dark / Light theme — CSS variable driven, switchable at runtime
