Overview
AionUi is a TypeScript desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. It bundles an agent engine (aionrs) that reads and writes files, searches the web and calls MCP tools using any of 30+ API providers or local Ollama and LM Studio. It also detects installed CLI agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Qwen Code, runs them in parallel sessions, and is reachable through a WebUI or chat bots, with scheduled tasks.
Who it is for: Users who want one desktop app to drive built-in and CLI coding agents
Strengths
- Auto-detects installed CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Qwen Code and others) in one interface
- Built-in agent works after pasting an API key, with no separate CLI install
- Scheduled tasks support cron with timezone, fixed intervals and one-time triggers
- Remote access via browser WebUI or Telegram, Lark, DingTalk and WeChat bots
Weaknesses
- Local models are reached through a custom API endpoint, not a bundled runtime
- Slack, Discord and WeCom channels are listed as coming soon
- Unattended YOLO mode and permissions vary by selected agent
- README excerpt gives no RAM, port or hardware requirements
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker
- Needs Optional CLI agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.), LLM API key or local Ollama/LM Studio
- Models: Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, Ollama
