Agent Launcher

Agent Launcher is a local desktop workspace for configuring and running existing coding-agent command-line interfaces. It detects installed CLI binaries, links or installs supported agents, applies account or provider profiles, and runs them in an embedded terminal or chat view without automatically reinstalling or updating already installed CLIs.

Overview

It supports project-aware sessions by launching an agent in a selected project directory, synchronizes provider settings with CLI-native configuration files and environment variables, and performs a minimal model request to check credentials, endpoints, models, network access, and account status. The application reads local conversation histories in JSONL or SQLite formats, can resume or delete local sessions, displays installed MCP servers and Skills, and summarizes locally stored usage data.

Agent Launcher distributes macOS, Windows, and Linux builds and is released under the MIT License. It is local-first rather than offline-only: launched agents send requests to the provider or relay selected by the active profile, while API keys are stored as plaintext in local configuration files and masked only in the interface.
