What is AionUi?
AionUi is a free, open-source desktop application that wraps popular AI command-line tools in a modern graphical interface—so you get cowork-style workflows without living in the terminal.
Core idea
Tools like Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Codex, and Qwen Code are powerful but often lack persistent chat history, multi-session layouts, and rich previews. AionUi adds those layers while keeping your data local (SQLite) and letting you choose multiple model providers.
Unlike a single-vendor cowork app, AionUi is model-agnostic at the architecture level: you can pair cloud APIs with local Ollama, mix agents, and still keep one searchable history store on disk.
What you can do
- Run one or more agents via multi-agent mode.
- Preview PDF, Office files, code, Markdown, and more (preview panel).
- Automate recurring jobs (scheduled tasks).
- Access remotely (WebUI, remote access).
- Organize project files and spreadsheets with file management and Excel processing.
- Extend capabilities through MCP tools when you need custom databases or APIs.
How it differs from a web-only chat
Browser chats are convenient but seldom integrate deeply with your disk layout, local CLIs, or unattended schedules. AionUi targets power users who already live in repos and terminals but want GUI ergonomics—without giving up the option to script or self-host pieces of the stack.
