Kun is a desktop app and terminal tool that lets AI agents work on real projects. It helps with coding, writing, designing, and automating tasks. You can watch and approve what the AI does, and everything stays on your computer by default.
Kun is a local-first AI agent workspace that brings AI from answering questions to completing real work. It offers two main modes: Code for software delivery with an integrated Design canvas, and Work for writing, document analysis, and presentations. Agents can read workspace context, create plans, call tools, modify files, run validations, and leave evidence alongside tasks. The desktop GUI is ideal for observing and controlling processes, while the terminal TUI suits keyboard-focused work. Both share the same local 'kun serve' runtime, ensuring continuity across threads, goals, plans, approvals, and background tasks. Kun supports multiple model providers including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Ollama, DeepSeek, and more. It is local-first, keeping sessions and data on your machine by default, but cloud models may send data to chosen providers. Kun is not tied to a single model and offers scheduled tasks, loops, hooks, MCP, skills, and installable extensions for automation.
