WeSight

Desktop AI Agent Workspace for Local Coding Agents

English | 简体中文

WeSight is an open-source desktop control console for local AI agents. It helps you install or reuse Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, OpenCode, Qwen Code, DeepSeek-TUI, and the built-in agent runtime, then gives them a visual workspace for chat, tools, files, IM channels, skills, model providers, runtime metrics, and desktop companion workflows.

Public releases ship signed and notarized macOS builds for Apple Silicon and Intel, plus a Windows x64 installer. If WeSight helps your agent workflow, a Star makes the project easier for more builders to discover.

Why WeSight

Terminal-native coding agents are powerful, while their setup, model routing, permissions, IM entry points, file changes, and runtime metrics often live in separate places. WeSight turns those moving pieces into one desktop workspace:

• Install, detect, and reuse local agent CLIs from a beginner-friendly UI.
• Run coding agents through a visual chat with tool panels, slash commands, file diffs, and permission prompts.
• Connect agent tasks to IM channels such as Feishu, with per-engine configuration.
• Track every task with engine, model, token usage, TTFT, TPS, tool latency, steps, status, and duration.
• Extend workflows through SkillHub skills, built-in skills, scheduled tasks, memory, and a desktop pet that follows active work.

• Add multiple providers and models.
• Use official OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini providers.
• Add OpenAI-compatible providers for DeepSeek, Qwen, Moonshot, Ollama, OpenRouter, GitHub Copilot, local gateways, or private endpoints.
• Switch between WeSight-managed model settings and existing local CLI configuration.
• Import or sync local engine configuration when you want WeSight to manage it.

Download

Public desktop builds are published through GitHub Releases:

• Website: wesight.ai
• Latest release: github.com/freestylefly/wesight/releases/latest

Each stable release includes signed and notarized macOS Apple Silicon and Intel builds, a Windows x64 installer, update metadata, and SHA256 checksums. The Windows installer is currently unsigned and may trigger Microsoft Defender SmartScreen. CI artifacts are short-lived build outputs for maintainers to test before a release is published.

Download And Install

macOS

Download the matching DMG from the latest release: WeSight.<version>.mac.arm64.dmg for Apple Silicon or WeSight.<version>.mac.x64.dmg for Intel. The release workflow signs, notarizes, and staples both packages. Open the DMG and drag WeSight.app into the Applications folder.

Windows

Download WeSight.Setup.<version>.exe from the same release. The current Windows x64 installer has no code-signing certificate, so SmartScreen may show an unrecognized app warning. Check the file against SHASUMS256.txt before continuing.

Quick Start

Requirements

• Node.js >=24 <25
• npm

Development

git clone https://github.com/freestylefly/wesight.git
cd wesight
npm install
npm run electron:dev

The Vite dev server runs at http://localhost:5175.

Website Development

The public website lives in website/ with its own dependencies and lock file. Install and run it independently from the Electron application:

npm ci --prefix website
npm run website:dev

The website development server runs at http://127.0.0.1:5173. Production build and preview commands are available from the repository root:

npm run website:build
npm run website:preview

The existing wesight-portal Vercel project uses website as its Root Directory, Vite as its framework, Node.js 24.x, and main as its Production Branch. Pull requests create Preview Deployments and pushes to main create Production Deployments. For a manual preview from an authenticated maintainer machine:

cd website
vercel link --project wesight-portal --scope canghes-projects
vercel deploy

Website download buttons use website/api/download.js to resolve the matching macOS DMG or Windows x64 EXE from the latest public GitHub Release. Keep the arm64 and x64 DMG assets plus WeSight.Setup.<version>.exe attached to each production release.

Keep .vercel/, local environment files, node_modules/, and dist/ out of Git. The website/design-reference/ directory contains source concepts for design reference and is excluded from production static assets.

Development With Agent Runtimes

# Start WeSight and detect supported local agent CLIs from Settings
npm run electron:dev

# Convenience aliases currently point to the same development entry
npm run electron:dev:openclaw
npm run electron:dev:hermes

Useful OpenClaw development variables:

# Override OpenClaw source location
OPENCLAW_SRC=/path/to/openclaw npm run electron:dev:openclaw

# Force OpenClaw runtime rebuild
OPENCLAW_FORCE_BUILD=1 npm run electron:dev:openclaw

# Skip OpenClaw version checkout for local OpenClaw development
OPENCLAW_SKIP_ENSURE=1 npm run electron:dev:openclaw

Build

# TypeScript + Vite
npm run build

# Electron main process
npm run compile:electron

# ESLint
npm run lint

# Public website
npm run website:build

Packaging

# macOS
npm run dist:mac

# macOS single-architecture packages
npm run dist:mac:x64
npm run dist:mac:arm64

# Do not use npm run dist:mac:universal until native modules have an
# explicit merge strategy for both macOS architectures.

# Windows
npm run dist:win

# Linux
npm run dist:linux

Managed runtime metadata is declared in package.json. Generated runtime folders, build artifacts, local secrets, and packaged release output are ignored by Git.

Automated Releases

The Build Platforms GitHub Actions workflow builds macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, and Windows x64 in parallel. A manual workflow run performs build-only validation and uploads three Actions Artifacts. A v* tag run publishes a GitHub Release after every platform succeeds.

Release versions use SemVer. Update the root package.json version through a normal pull request before creating the tag. From a clean, synchronized main branch, validate and publish the tag with:

npm run release:tag -- 1.0.1 --dry-run
npm run release:tag -- 1.0.1

The command verifies the branch, working tree, origin/main, package version, and local and remote tags. It then creates an annotated v1.0.1 tag and pushes only that tag. Prerelease versions such as 1.1.0-rc.1 are published as GitHub prereleases; stable versions become the Latest release.

macOS signing and notarization use these GitHub Actions secrets:

• APPLE_ID
• APPLE_APP_PWD
• APPLE_TEAM_ID
• MACOS_CERTIFICATE
• MACOS_CERTIFICATE_PWD

Do not put certificate contents or passwords in repository files or workflow logs. Windows signing remains disabled until a Windows code-signing certificate is configured.

If a platform job fails, rerun the failed GitHub Actions jobs for the same commit or tag. The release job waits for all three platforms and uses asset replacement when the release already exists, so a safe rerun updates the existing assets without creating a duplicate release.

Architecture

WeSight uses Electron process isolation. The renderer never directly accesses Node.js APIs; privileged operations go through a typed preload bridge and IPC handlers in the main process.

Main Process

• Window lifecycle, tray behavior, desktop pet windows, and deep links
• SQLite persistence for settings, sessions, messages, runtime calls, skills, and auth tokens
• Agent engine routing and external CLI adapters
• OpenClaw and Hermes gateway lifecycle helpers
• IM gateway integrations and native Feishu routing
• Skill management, scheduled tasks, file activity tracking, and runtime telemetry

Renderer

• React + Redux Toolkit + Tailwind CSS
• Cowork chat UI, studio view, live workspace, runtime dashboard, and artifacts
• Engine selector, model selector, settings, skills, MCP, agents, IM, memory, and appearance UI
• Stream rendering for messages, tool calls, command output, slash command panels, files, images, and permission prompts

Skills can be installed, enabled, disabled, deleted, and routed from the desktop UI.

Security Model

• Context isolation is enabled.
• Node integration is disabled in the renderer.
• Sensitive operations run through main-process IPC.
• Tool execution can surface permission requests before running.
• Local data is stored in SQLite under the app data directory.
• Runtime folders, build artifacts, generated assets, and local secrets are ignored by Git.
