What if you knew what your agents did while you weren't looking?
A self-hosted SSH console that detects agents from the terminal, without instrumenting them, and keeps a persistent log for every machine. Fleet status stays visible, and the desktop app alerts you when an agent finishes or needs attention.

What it looks like


Gallery
Highlights
- Persistent per-agent log: what ran, on which machine, how long it took and its exit code
- Fleet-wide status and system notifications even when the app is behind another window or minimised
- One-command Docker setup on Linux, macOS and Windows; Linux AppImage with the server bundled
- Free, unlimited community edition; credentials stay on your server, secrets can live outside the volume via <NAME>_FILE and strict mode will not start without a key
Role
The lab's own derivative of an Apache 2.0 open-source SSH console: brand, design system, agent log, packaging and distribution
