The workstation becomes remote
Keep repositories, dependencies, secrets, build caches, and long-running agent sessions on the machine designed to run them.
A cockpit for agentic development
Your agents keep working. You just need a browser.
PI WEB runs Pi Coding Agent sessions in real server-side workspaces, keeps them alive when your browser leaves, and gives you a fast web surface to supervise, redirect, and review the work.
Local development made sense when humans drove every keystroke. Agentic development works better when the environment is persistent, remote, and always available.
Persistentsessions survive browser disconnects
Parallelprojects, worktrees, and agents
Yoursruns on your machine or server
Workspaces, sessions, transcripts, terminals — one agent control plane.
Bring your own repositories.
Remote AI-driven development
Your laptop is a window, not the workstation.
Local-only development can become the blocker: one device owns the tools, terminals, build cache, editor, and agent runtime. PI WEB moves the working environment to a machine that stays on, so agents can keep making progress while every browser becomes a control surface.
The browser becomes the control plane
Your device is replaceable. The sessions are not. Move between laptop, phone, tablet, and desktop without moving the development environment.
Agents become persistent workers
Start work, leave, return later, review progress, and keep multiple streams running in parallel from one stable environment.
Why it feels different
Not another tab. A persistent place for agent work.
Come back later
Active sessions live in a long-running daemon, not in your browser tab. Close the lid, reconnect from a phone, and continue supervising the same work.
Use real workspaces
Add projects once, discover git worktrees automatically, and start agents where the code actually lives.
Keep control
Watch transcript history, status, shell activity, context usage, and costs while redirecting the agent in realtime.
Quick install
Linux servers get the smooth path.
- Install the package globally with npm.
- Run the installer to create user-level systemd services.
- Open the local URL, or tunnel it from a remote machine.
Recommended Linux install
$ npm install -g @jmfederico/pi-web
$ pi-web install
$ pi-web doctor
# Open http://127.0.0.1:8504macOS and WSL?
PI WEB itself is not Linux-only. The one-command service installer targets Linux systemd. macOS and WSL can run PI WEB manually; WSL with systemd can use the installer too.
Read compatibility notes →Local UI plugins?
Ask AI agents to add trusted local UI plugins from ~/.pi-web/plugins without rebuilding or
restarting the session daemon.
Node or tools not found?
Services run login shells. If tools work in your interactive terminal but not in PI WEB, fix PATH in your login shell startup files and run the doctor command.
