Botloft 0.1.0
Pre-alpha. First public build of Botloft: always-on Claude Code crews for Windows. Bots keep running in the background, message each other, and ask you before they change things.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit).
- Claude Code installed, with a plan that includes it (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise or a Console account).
Install
- Download
Botloft_0.1.0_x64-setup.exebelow and run it. It installs for your Windows user only, with no administrator prompt. - The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
- Open Botloft. It sets itself up and starts with Windows from then on. If Claude Code is not signed in, click Sign in to Claude.
Botloft updates itself: new versions show up as "Update available" in the title bar. Uninstalling (Settings > Apps) stops Botloft, and your bots and their files stay in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Botloft and %USERPROFILE%\Botloft.
Bots run as your Windows user and are not sandboxed: give them only the permissions you would give Claude Code directly.
