Free + open source · Local control plane · BYO CLI

Your project folder becomes the AI control plane.

Alepou wraps Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and shell in a project-owned workspace. Memory, plans, tasks, command approvals, bridge snapshots, and git-linked audit history stay as inspectable files beside your code.

Project Setup (Important!)
Detail
I opened Gemini in a brand new project and he had no idea how to do anything. Because there was no existing folder structure in that project. I think it is absolutely essential that when we open a new project that our software creates the needed folder structure with all the files in place, including any expected file structure or metadata so the CLI knows exactly how to actually use it.

Why it is different

The control plane stays yours.

Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity are editor-first agentic environments. Alepou is different: it is a local workspace around the CLI tools and project files you already use.

Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and shell sessions stay as real local processes. Alepou groups them by project, gives them file-backed plans, memory, inboxes, and tasks, then lets a supervisor model keep a queue moving while workers execute in their normal terminals.

A newer wave of agent orchestrators — Conductor, Superset, Agent Deck — groups the same CLIs behind parallel worktrees and run dashboards. Alepou's model is different: one task, one commit, in your real working tree, with memory, plans, and audit history as plain files in your own repo. When Vibe Kanban shut down in April 2026, its users had to migrate their workflows out. If Alepou stopped tomorrow, everything it knows would still be sitting next to your code.

You keep your editor. You keep your official CLIs. You keep your subscriptions. Alepou gives the surrounding workflow a local control plane.

Fresh sessions should not start cold.

Alepou keeps project memory, tasks, plans, and handoffs in local files, then gives the model a bounded map of the current state when a session starts. The goal is not to stuff more into the prompt; it is to stop wasting context on rediscovery.

Read the full comparison
Context-directed

Starts each workspace session with a bounded map of the project instead of making the model rediscover it.

CLI-native

Wraps official CLIs instead of replacing them.

Local-first

Project files and planning state stay on your machine.

Project-aware

Sessions, tasks, docs, memory, ports, Git, and backups live under the same project.

File-backed

Plans and task state are plain files, not hidden service memory.

Tool-bridge ready

Domain tools can export local state, accept approved command files, and report results back into the same planning center.

Audit-grade history

Every completed task ends in a git commit, with the SHA recorded on the task entry. Click through to inspect the diff.

Shutdown-proof

Plans, memory, tasks, and history are plain files and git commits in your repo. Nothing to migrate out of, ever.

Orchestration-first

Supervisor and worker queues are a core workflow, not just one chat tab.

Phone-continuous

Monitor and manage the same live sessions over LAN or Tailscale.

What it actually does

Everything that was missing
from the CLI.

Supervisor orchestration
Build a task list, assign a supervisor model, attach a worker, and let it run. The supervisor reads your plans and project memory, assigns tasks with precise instructions, reviews each git diff, and advances the queue — without you in the loop. One supervisor and one worker is enough: only one model runs at a time, so your existing subscription handles it.
Context efficiency
Large context windows still need direction. Alepou keeps durable project state outside the model and passes a bounded, relevant map into each new workspace session, so the model starts with the task board, memory, plans, and handoffs that matter.
Watchdog automation
Every terminal in an orchestration run is monitored for unexpected inactivity. If a worker stalls — permission prompt, unhandled error, anything — the watchdog detects it and alerts the supervisor. Runs do not silently fail overnight.
Multi-session workspace
Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI in one window, organised by project. Per-tab launch presets for continue, resume, fork, and worktree. Switch projects without losing your place.
Planner and task board
A planning assistant powered by your connected CLI session. The AI writes structured replies into project files rather than terminal noise — keeping dialogue clean and searchable while the terminal stays focused on execution logs. The task board is file-backed and AI-maintained: the model externalises work onto it, moves tasks through states, and records the git SHA on every completion. Project inbox and documents are plain files, version-controlled alongside your code. No SaaS, no sync layer, no hidden memory.
Auditable AI work
Every completed task ends in a git commit, and the commit SHA is written back to the task entry. The task board doubles as an index of every AI-completed change in the project. Click any completed task to open its diff in-product — files changed and exact line additions and removals, sourced from real git show output. The audit trail is plain git in your own repo, so git log, git revert, git blame, and CI hooks all apply as-is. A dedicated History tab shows the day-grouped timeline of every AI commit — click any entry for the full diff, revert with a typed confirmation.
Project runtime state
Processes, ports, detected URLs, and deployment status. Not just what you launched, but what is alive right now for each project.
Snapshot backups
Checkpoint with a note before a risky change. Store branch, commit, dirty state, and timestamp. Restore later without git gymnastics.

Unity Bridge beta

Alepou can bridge the tools around your code.

Unity Bridge is the first domain bridge for Alepou: a local package that lets AI CLI sessions see the Editor — scene state, a queryable asset index, Console output, even Scene and Game view captures — and change it through 28 approved command actions, while the planning center stays in charge.

01

Unity exports state

Scene hierarchy, selection, Inspector snapshots, Console output, a queryable asset index, packages, build settings, diagnostics, compile status, and command results are written into plan/unity/ — and refreshed automatically as the Editor changes.

02

The AI writes intent

The CLI writes C# scripts as normal assets, then creates explicit command JSON under plan/unity/commands/pending/ for scene and Inspector changes.

03

Unity approves and applies

The Editor window previews pending commands. You approve them locally — or allow-list trusted actions for auto-approval — and Unity applies them through Unity APIs with Undo grouping, then writes applied or failed results.

04

Alepou keeps the run coherent

The planner captures the Scene or Game view to see the result, inspects command outcomes before continuing, updates tasks, and keeps the same audit trail: local files, explicit decisions, and git-backed completion.

Unity Package Manager https://github.com/alepou-ai/alepou.git?path=/terminal-manager/unity-bridge/com.alepou.unity-bridge#unity-bridge-v0.5.0

It is not a shift into being a Unity-only product. It is a proof point for a broader pattern: expose local tool state, use approved command files for side effects, and let Alepou remain the planning center for the whole project.

Deliberation and orchestration

One supervisor. One worker.
The task list never stops.

The 1+1 setup is the sweet spot: Claude Opus reads your context and assigns the next task. Codex executes, commits, and says done. Supervisor reviews the diff and moves on. Only one model runs at a time - subscription-friendly, without running multiple model sessions at once.

Deliberation

Send one question.
Get three independent answers.

Round 1: each model responds without seeing the others. Round 2 onward: each sees the full transcript and refines. A supervisor synthesizes agreements and open questions. Iterate until consensus, or a clear disagreement that tells you something real.

The architecture of this product was designed using deliberation mode. Three models debated structure and tradeoffs across multiple rounds before any code was written.

Orchestration

Queue the work.
Step away.

The supervisor reads your project memory and task board, writes precise instructions for the worker, and dispatches. The worker executes and commits. Supervisor reviews the git diff and assigns the next task. Repeat until the queue is empty — or the watchdog fires because something went wrong and needs your attention.

Add more workers for parallel throughput. On subscription, 1+1 is the practical sweet spot. For larger overnight runs, per-token API keeps costs predictable.
