First public beta. Kotilo is a Windows desktop workspace for AI coding agents: real terminals plus live agent status, permission handling, usage, costs and limits in one app. Free and open source (Apache-2.0).

Permission card

Highlights

  • Terminals: tabs and split panes with real shells (ConPTY), agent CLIs and your own commands; file:line links, file tree, diffs.
  • Live agent status: working / waiting for permission / waiting for input / done / error for every session, including sessions started outside Kotilo.
  • Permission card: see the tool, the command or file and a risk label; allow once, always allow or deny with one click.
  • Mission control and timeline: every running agent on one screen, with what each session did and changed.
  • Usage, cost and limits: tokens and estimated cost by day, 5-hour block, project, model and agent; plan limits where the agent reports them; CSV/Excel export.
  • Composer, tasks, reports, local Whisper dictation, English and Turkish UI, auto-updates from GitHub Releases.
  • Agents: Claude Code, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Factory Droid, OpenCode, Cursor CLI, plain shells, and your own agent through adapter.json + the Agent Integration Protocol. See the support table.

Install

Download Kotilo_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe (or arm64) below and run it. Per-user install, no admin rights. Requires Windows 11 and the WebView2 Runtime (downloaded automatically if missing).

Known limitations (beta)

  • The installer is not code-signed yet. SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher: choose More info → Run anyway if you trust the download. Smart App Control blocks unsigned apps entirely; with it turned on, wait for a signed release or build from source. Signing via SignPath Foundation is planned; see the code signing policy.
  • Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, Factory Droid and Cursor CLI support was built from their documentation and has not been checked against a live install yet.
  • Claude Code plan limits are not shown yet; Factory Droid has no permission card keys yet (answer in the terminal).
  • Windows only; macOS is planned.

Agents change their hooks and file formats. If something stops working, please open an issue.
