Multi CLI Studio is a Tauri desktop workspace for people who do not want to be locked into a single AI coding CLI or a single model vendor. Instead of forcing one tool to do everything, it gives you one local desktop surface for: - Codex, Claude, and Gemini CLI workflows - provider-based model chat for OpenAI-compatible, Claude, and Gemini - local automation jobs and workflows - shared local state across terminal, chat, and automation

Multi CLI Studio

简体中文

Multi CLI Studio is a Tauri desktop workspace for people who do not want to be locked into a single AI coding CLI or a single model vendor.

Instead of forcing one tool to do everything, it gives you one local desktop surface for:

Codex, Claude, and Gemini CLI workflows
provider-based model chat for OpenAI-compatible, Claude, and Gemini
local automation jobs and workflows
shared local state across terminal, chat, and automation

Why This Exists

Most AI coding tools assume one model, one CLI, one workflow.

That is not how real work behaves:

one CLI may be better at edits, another at planning, another at UI or long-context work
comparing outputs across agents is often safer than trusting a single tool path
context gets fragmented when terminal, chat, and automation live in different apps
local project state matters, but most tools do not coordinate around it

Multi CLI Studio is built around a different assumption:

cross-CLI orchestration is the product, not an add-on

Core Value

Keep project context in one place while switching between different AI execution styles
Use CLI-native agent workflows and provider-based chat side by side
Turn repeated tasks into local automation instead of re-prompting from scratch
Keep runtime state local with desktop-native storage and tooling

Platform Support

Windows desktop: primary packaged target with release workflow for installer output
macOS desktop: supported through the Tauri desktop stack and local build flow

Current Capabilities

Terminal and CLI Workspace

unified desktop surface for Codex, Claude, and Gemini
persistent sessions and chat-like execution history
streaming output rendered directly into the UI
slash commands for model, permissions, effort, plan mode, context, and session controls
integrated git side panel to keep working-tree changes visible during execution

Model Chat and Provider Layer

provider-backed chat for OpenAI-compatible, Claude, and Gemini
per-turn model switching inside the same conversation thread
local provider management with editable API key, base URL, enable state, and model catalog
useful for side-by-side comparison, quick iteration, and non-CLI model usage

Automation and Workflow Layer

automation jobs with execution summaries, state, and logs
workflow editor and workflow run canvas for multi-step flows
repeatable local orchestration for AI-assisted tasks

Local Runtime and Persistence

local-first storage with SQLite and JSON
Tauri 2 desktop runtime with Rust backend and React frontend
CLI and local resource detection in Settings
release workflow and version sync tooling already wired into the repo

Main Pages

Dashboard

workspace snapshot with project root, dirty files, checks, events, and traffic

Terminal

primary multi-CLI execution page
combines conversation history, prompt bar, streaming output, slash commands, and git changes

Model Chat

dedicated provider-based conversation page
keeps one thread while letting users switch model/provider selection turn by turn

Model Providers

manage OpenAI-compatible, Claude, and Gemini providers
edit base URL, API key, enabled state, and refresh model lists

Automation

jobs, workflow lists, workflow editor, run details, and execution logs

Settings

inspect installed CLIs, local runtime resources, and environment-related state

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Node.js 20+
Rust 1.88+
Tauri CLI 2
Windows: MSVC build tools
macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools

Install

npm install

Run Frontend Only

npm run dev

Run Desktop App

npm run tauri:dev

Build

npm run build
npm run tauri:build

Scripts

npm run dev: start Vite dev server
npm run build: type-check and build frontend
npm run preview: preview the built frontend
npm run tauri:dev: run the Tauri desktop app in development
npm run tauri:build: build desktop bundles
npm run tauri:android: run Android flow through the wrapper script
npm run version:sync -- : sync package.json, Cargo.toml, and tauri.conf.json
npm run version:check -- : verify version metadata alignment

Provider Notes

Gemini Base URL

Recommended:

https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com

Also valid:

https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta

Do not put models/...:streamGenerateContent or ?key=... into the base URL field.

Data Storage

Application data is stored in local app-data directories:

Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\multi-cli-studio
Linux: ~/.local/share/multi-cli-studio
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/multi-cli-studio

Common files:

terminal-state.db
session.json
automation-jobs.json
automation-runs.json
automation-rules.json

Release

The repo already includes a desktop release workflow:

.github/workflows/release-desktop.yml

It synchronizes version metadata, builds the Tauri desktop bundle, and uploads the macOS DMGs, Windows installer, and latest.json update feed to GitHub Releases.

The current distribution flow is intentionally low-cost:

It does not rely on Apple Developer ID or notarization.
macOS builds use ad-hoc signing, so first launch may require manually allowing the app in Privacy & Security.
In-app updates still require a real Tauri updater keypair: put the public key in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json and configure the private key in GitHub Actions secrets.
