Kavor is a local-first desktop application that acts as a system around AI coding agents.

Use Cases ▼
01

Run Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, or Grok from a unified visual canvas

02

Create and attach `.spec.md` specifications to coding agents for durable intent and constraints

03

Monitor active agent sessions and terminal commands in real time

04

Connect files, sticky notes, and terminals directly to the relevant agent

05

Enable agent-to-agent handoffs through visible connections

06

Keep engineering context available across disposable sessions

07

Step in and review work when agent confidence requires human judgment

What Problem It Solves ▼

Developers working with multiple AI coding agents often lose context across ephemeral chat sessions, become the de-facto scheduler and dashboard, and struggle to hand off work between tools. Kavor solves this by providing a local-first visual canvas to manage coding agents, terminals, files and specifications, with persistent `.spec.md` context, explicit connections, and visible agent-to-agent handoffs.

Key Features ▼
✓

Free and available on Windows, macOS, and Linux

✓

Local-first: context stays on your machine and works offline

✓

Agent-agnostic: supports Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, and Grok

✓

Visual canvas makes live agent activity and dependencies inspectable

✓

Durable `.spec.md` files preserve intent across sessions

Overview

Kavor is a local-first desktop application that acts as a system around AI coding agents. Instead of replacing agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode and Grok, it provides a visual canvas where developers can delegate coding work, observe agent activity, and maintain full control. The application is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is currently offered free of charge.

Full Description ▼

At the core of Kavor is the idea that work is the unit, not the conversation. Sessions are disposable, but engineering context should not be. Kavor uses simple `.spec.md` specification files to capture intent, constraints, acceptance criteria, and decisions. These specifications serve as durable context that can be attached to CodingAgent nodes, alongside files, sticky notes, and live terminals. Users can create explicit Connections between these elements, making dependencies and context visible and inspectable.

Kavor also supports agent-to-agent handoffs through visible connections, so agents can exchange messages directly on the canvas rather than copying output between separate chat windows. The product is built around the principle that agents execute while humans engineer. It emphasizes evidence over confidence, context preservation, and the durability of engineering knowledge across evolving models. Kavor is positioned as a control layer for engineers who want to move operational state out of their heads and onto a shared workspace.
