How It Works

Set Workspace

Point CLI Launcher at the local directory where your projects live. Every agent launches in a terminal pre-configured to that path — no cd gymnastics.

Manage & Update

Install, update, repair, or uninstall any agent and track every version in one place — no hand-editing global Node and Python installs or chasing version clashes.

Launch & Code

Open one or many pre-configured terminals and start prompting @anthropic-ai/claude-code, aider-chat, or any of the 34+ agents immediately.

? Autonomous execution

YOLO Mode

Flip one switch and supported agents launch with their auto-approve flags enabled — no more permission prompts mid-task. Perfect for unattended, fully autonomous coding runs. CLI Launcher injects the correct flag per agent, so you never hand-edit a command.

Why CLI Launcher

Every terminal AI agent can be installed by hand — but at 34+ tools that means global clutter, version clashes, and a lot of terminal juggling. Here is the difference.

Task	Manual (npm i -g / pip)	With CLI Launcher
Install an agent	Run `npm i -g` yourself; risks global version clashes.	One click — version-pinned and tracked.
Update everything	Track 32 packages and update each by hand.	Bulk update in a single click.
Centralized management	Track 32 packages by hand across global installs.	All agents tracked & updatable from one panel.
Launch in a terminal	Open a terminal, `cd`, retype the command.	Pre-configured terminal, one click.
Switch runtimes	Juggle `nvm` / `pyenv` per project.	Per-agent runtime managed for you.
Repair or remove	Manual cleanup of leftover files.	One-click repair or uninstall.
Run many agents	Tab-sprawl across scattered terminals.	One panel, all agents, one view.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CLI Launcher?

CLI Launcher is a free, open-source desktop application that lets you install, update, uninstall, and launch 32+ terminal AI coding agents — such as Claude Code, Aider, Gemini CLI, and Open Interpreter — from a single control panel.

Does CLI Launcher sandbox or isolate the agents it installs?

No. CLI Launcher is a management panel, not a sandbox. It installs and launches agents using your system's existing Node, Python, or standalone runtimes; it does not create isolated environments or virtualize dependencies.

Which terminal AI agents are supported?

CLI Launcher supports 34+ agents across three runtimes: 19 Node-based (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Oh My Pi, and more), 7 Python-based (Aider, Open Interpreter, Shell-GPT, gptme, RA.Aid, OpenHands, Hermes Agent), and 8 standalone binaries (Goose, Cursor, Amazon Q, Plandex, Mods, aichat, Fabric, and others).

Is CLI Launcher free and open source?

Yes. CLI Launcher is MIT-licensed and free to use. The source code is available on GitHub.

How do I install CLI Launcher?

Download a native installer (.dmg, .msi, or .AppImage) from the Downloads page, or run the one-line installer: curl -fsSL https://cli-launcher.veyl.in/install.sh | bash on macOS and Linux, or the install.ps1 PowerShell script on Windows.

What is YOLO Mode in CLI Launcher?

YOLO Mode is a toggle that launches supported agents with their auto-approve flags enabled — for example, Claude Code's --dangerously-skip-permissions — so they run unattended without permission prompts. Use it only in trusted working directories.
