README
DeskCue — your local control panel for AI agents
DeskCue lets you keep an eye on agent work when you step away from the terminal. Follow the conversation, see what tools are doing, review changed files, and open the app preview from your desktop or phone.
Keep using Codex, Claude Code, Ollama, LM Studio, or a generic CLI. DeskCue is open-source and local-first, and it works with the tools and accounts you already have. It is not an LLM provider, model host, or cloud IDE.
