KODER TUI

Keep thinking.
Keep work moving.

A full-screen terminal workspace with a persistent composer, a reorderable queue and visible Todo progress.

Windows x64 / macOS ARM64 & x64 · Node 22.23.3

ONE ENGINE. ALL THE TOOLS.

The CLI you know. More room to work.

Includes Koder CLI 0.4.12, the KARMEN LOOP engine, configuration, business modules, MCP, Skills and existing documentation. Reuse your model and project settings with a separate launcher.

Keep the composer open

Write during streaming. Ctrl-S steers the active turn; Esc or Ctrl-C interrupts the current action and keeps the workbench open.

Put upcoming work in order

Alt-Q queues a draft, Ctrl-Q focuses the queue, and Alt-Up/Down reorders it. Pending prompts stay separate from the current task’s Todo.

Follow and revisit progress

Ctrl-T expands or collapses Todo. /undo restores conversation and Todo state while retaining records of completed tool effects.

Find status and commands

A configurable status line, model slot, context usage and rotating shortcut tips. /help has 79 entries; Ctrl-P searches 58 CLI routes.

NEW IN 0.3.1

Keep typing. Keep your place.

Typing or pasting after queue navigation now returns to the composer and preserves the first character. Input takes priority over background refreshes, completed output lines are reused, and slow terminals keep the newest pending frame. The decorative loop has been removed.

Open the official GitHub Releases page and follow the platform instructions.
Reuse your Koder profile, or run setup to configure a model.
Choose a project directory and ask a question. Tool actions still require their own permissions.

Full installation, keyboard, update and removal guide ↗

Update the workbench by re-running its TUI installer. /update, automatic updates and /uninstall retain their original CLI scope. An updated CLI without embedding support continues the conversation in its native terminal.

Clear evidence. Clear limits.

Version 0.3.1 passed 43 workbench regression tests and seven real macOS PTY interaction checks before packaging. Hosted Windows and Mac package checks are recorded in the release verification report.

Windows device ConPTY/IME, Windows-MCP GUI, live models and external ACP services, account writes and cross-device migration still need their own acceptance. Dedicated CLI screens temporarily take over the terminal. External Todo/undo depends on adapter support. /undo does not reverse completed external effects.
