Clootee
Claude Code and Codex, one click away.
An open-source workbench that installs the whole toolchain for you — from a web page. No Node, no npm, no terminal. Unzip, double-click, follow the wizard.
Nothing to install first
Every other tool starts with “first install Node, then npm install -g …”. Clootee does all of that for you, with a progress bar instead of a blank screen.
Portable runtime
Downloads its own Node into its own folder. Your PATH, your system Node and your other projects are never touched.
One-click engines
Claude Code and Codex are installed from the UI with live progress — no global npm, no admin rights, no registry edits on Windows.
Git without a terminal
Missing Git? One click. On Windows it is a portable install: no admin, no registry, nothing left behind if you delete the folder.
Built for real, long-running work
Queue tasks across sessions, watch every tool call, and get told exactly what broke instead of staring at silence.
Multi-session task queues
Queue tasks per session and run them in order. Pause, reorder or interject mid-run — the queue does not depend on your tab staying open.
Total transparency
Reasoning, every tool call with full inputs and outputs, timings and token counts. Nothing is summarised away behind a spinner.
Sign in inside the browser
Stock Claude Code answers nothing at all until it is signed in. Clootee moves sign-in into the UI: click, authorize, paste the code back — it works even when the server is remote.
Network check up front
It tests connectivity before you hit the wall, then offers two concrete exits: turn on your VPN and re-check, or switch provider. Only providers reachable right now are offered.
Failures are never silent
Crashed engine, zero output, unusual silence — each surfaces with a reason and a next step, not a frozen screen.
Workspace file manager
Browse, edit, search and bookmark files inside each workspace, right next to the session that is changing them.
From a zip file to a working agent
No command line at any point. The start script self-checks everything and fixes what is missing.

Unzip it anywhere
One self-contained folder. Everything Clootee downloads later stays inside it, so uninstalling is deleting the folder.
Works from a USB stick or a second drive.
- 2
Double-click the launcher for your OS
Windows_Start.bat, Mac_Start.command or Linux_Start.sh. It port-checks, self-repairs and prints the address it actually opened.
On macOS / Linux run chmod +x once first.

Follow the wizard at localhost:8970
Pick language and theme, run the network check, choose an engine and provider, then sign in or paste an API key. You set the access password — there is no default.
Stop it any time with the matching Stop script.
Open source, Apache 2.0, yours to run
One zip, three platforms. No account with us, no telemetry, no cloud — your keys and sessions stay in your own data/ folder.
