Start and stop

Double-click entries for all three platforms are in the package — no command line at any point.

What happens on first launch

The launcher self-checks everything and fixes what is missing, then opens http://localhost:8970 and prints the address it actually used. The wizard then walks five short steps:

  1. Language and theme — chosen by you, not guessed from your IP.
  2. Network check — run before anything can silently fail. If a provider is unreachable right now, it is not offered.
  3. Pick an engine — Claude Code or Codex; whatever is missing gets installed with a progress bar.
  4. Pick a provider — only the ones actually reachable from your machine.
  5. Sign in or paste an API key — sign-in happens in the browser: click, authorize, paste the code back. It works even when Clootee is running on a remote machine, because the link opens in your browser.

You set the access password in this flow. There is no default password.

Requirements

  • Windows 10+, macOS 12+, or a current Linux distribution
  • A modern browser and roughly 500 MB of free disk space for the downloaded runtimes
  • Network access to your chosen model provider — Clootee will tell you up front if there is none
  • No pre-installed Node, npm or Git. That is the whole point.

⚠️ Security — please read before you run it

Clootee runs the agent with permission prompts bypassed so that tasks can run unattended. That means:

Anyone who can open this web UI can run any command on your machine, as you.

  • It listens on 127.0.0.1 only by default — keep it that way, and never expose it to the public internet. For remote access, use an SSH tunnel or a VPN.
  • You set the access password on first launch; there is no default.
  • API keys and sessions stay in your local data/ folder — never committed, never uploaded.

Read the source first?

Orchestration and implementation live in separate files, so the whole flow reads top to bottom in one pass.
