coderunner-ui is a local‑first AI workspace that lets you:

  • Chat with local or remote LLMs
  • Run generated code inside a fully isolated Apple Container VM
  • Browse the web and automate tasks via a built‑in headless browser (Playwright) All without sending your data to the cloud.

Privacy by design. No remote code execution. Your machine, your data.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install dependencies

bash ./install.sh

2. Start the app

npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

🔑 Configure LLM API Keys

If you want to use OpenAI, Gemini, or Anthropic models, enter your API key in the UI when prompted. Keys are stored locally in your browser.

🖥 Use Local Models with Ollama

Install and pull a model:

ollama pull llama3.1:8b

Select it from the model dropdown in the UI.

📦 How It Works

  • LLMs: Local or remote
  • Code Execution: Runs entirely inside an Apple Container VM via coderunner
  • Web Automation: Always‑available headless browser (Playwright) to fetch pages, scrape data, or run automated research tasks
  • File Safety: Shared files live in ~/.coderunner/assets, keeping host system isolated

📝 Notes

  • Requires macOS on Apple Silicon.
  • Some websites may block automated browsers.
