What changed in this repo since Monday?
Open source0.2.0
The AI agent that just works.
Let it solve your problems.
Use the AI subscriptions and API keys you already have. Conch sets itself up, fixes what breaks, and asks you only when it has to.

Every provider
One picker. Every model you have.
Sign in with the plans you already pay for, or paste an API key. Each adds its models to the same list, and a chat can move from one to another without losing its thread.
- The plans you already pay for: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and Grok.
- On this computer is private, free and works offline.
- Paste a key, and Conch knows whose it is, or asks.
- Offline, or at a usage limit, the one you chose carries on.
In the chat
It knows what it can do. Just ask.
When what you ask needs an app or a skill that isn’t on yet, the card to turn it on is right under the reply. Once it’s on, the chat carries on by itself. There’s nothing to ask again.
- What it finds is shown as it is: your calendar, your email, your files, your messages.
- Questions come with answers to tap, and its plan ticks itself off as it goes.
- Under a reply, what you might say next is one tap away.
- It never turns anything on by itself.
Make it yours
Ask for an app. It builds one.
When nothing you have does what you need, say what you want in your own words. Conch writes the app, checks it, tries every part of it and shows it to you as a card.
- Every model you use can use it, and its page looks like Conch, in light and dark.
- It runs sealed off: its own notes, and only the websites its card names.
- Nothing is added until you press the button.
- Share it on GitHub in one press, or add one someone else made from a link.
Safe hands
It asks when it matters. Only then.
Conch interrupts you for two things: an approval that matters, and what only a person can do. Once a chat has read a web page or an email, anything that could send your things out or change your computer asks first, in every mode.
- On macOS and Linux, commands run sealed: they can’t read your keys or saved passwords.
- Every file it changes can be put back.
- Activity shows everything it did, in every chat.
The web
It uses the web. You watch.
Conch has a browser of its own, with nothing to install. You see the page live beside the chat, with a small pearl where it is about to click, and you can take the wheel whenever you like.
- It asks before it acts on a new site.
- Passwords are yours to type. It never sees one.
- Your own browser, its cookies and its sign-ins are never touched.
In your pocket
Reach it from the apps you already use.
A bot or a chat of your own in Telegram, Discord, Slack and WhatsApp, and 11 more. Most connect outward from your computer, so nothing is opened to the internet.
- Telegram
- Discord
- Slack
- Signal
- iMessage
- Microsoft Teams
- Matrix
- SMS
- Mattermost
- LINE
- Rocket.Chat
- Google Chat
- Nobody gets in unless you let them.
- Approve what it asks right there, with a button.
- On your phone’s Home Screen it’s an app, with notifications and voice.
It fixes itself
Something broke? It’s already fixed.
Conch keeps an eye on every part of itself and mends what it can on its own. When something needs you, like signing in again, you get one plain sentence and the button that does it.
- Nothing to install first. What it needs, it fetches by itself.
- One Repair everything button, for when you want to be sure.
- Daily backups and signed updates, without you thinking about them.
And the rest of a day’s work
Each of these is the app itself, playing.
It remembers, in the open
Memories are small Markdown files you can read, edit or delete. It learns from how you correct it, by itself, and every save shows in the chat, with Undo.
Everything can be put back
Every file your assistant makes, changes or deletes, whichever provider did it. You see what will change first.
Show me
Ask for a chart, a page, a document or a table. It opens beside the chat, every version kept. Pages it writes run sealed off.
Hand it off
Send a job to the background and keep chatting. Its result comes back to where you asked.
At a time, or when it happens
Routines run at a time you read in plain words, or when something happens, like an email from someone. Watching costs nothing. Nothing runs until you turn it on.
It tells you what it fixed
What Conch mended while you were away is a quiet list, not an alarm. Nothing for you to do.
Your own address
On a server, one line installs Conch and asks a few questions. It gets its own certificate, and a link you open on your laptop makes it yours.
Sign in with a touch
Touch ID, Windows Hello or Face ID, named for the device you’re on. A new device waits for your OK, given from one you already use.
38 apps, for every model
Connect one from a gallery and it works with whichever provider answers. No JSON to edit, and its sign-in stays fresh.
Kept on your own computer
A small program on your computer, the app it serves, and the providers you connect. Chats, memories, skills and settings are plain files in ~/.conch, and Conch keeps no copy anywhere else.
Good to know
Three things worth knowing before you install it.
It runs where you work
An app for macOS, Linux and Windows, or one line in a terminal, on your computer or a server. Nothing to install first.
It runs as you
Conch can read your files and run commands. Treat it like an SSH server, and read how it’s protected before you put it on a network.
Local models are smaller
Slower and less capable than the big cloud models: best for everyday questions, drafts and quick jobs.
I built Conch for myself. I wanted an agent that fixes my problems, not one I have to keep fixing.
It’s open source now, so it can be yours too.
In the old story, whoever holds the conch gets to speak.
