About Mirafold
Mirafold is a powerful, open-source generative UI built specifically for terminal coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. It acts as a faithful browser interface that leverages your existing engine, settings, memory, and permission rules while transforming raw terminal outputs into rich, interactive elements.
Instead of dealing with plain text, responses are rendered using 18 live components that include formatted text, live charts, tables, and graphs—all of which you can pin for quick reference. Its Mission Control feature organizes your entire fleet of sessions onto a single grid. Additionally, Mirafold allows you to securely pair your phone using a QR code via end-to-end encryption (available through a paid hosted relay or self-hosted option). Running directly on your machine and licensed under the MIT license, Mirafold bridges the gap between terminal workflows and modern web UI.
Pros of Mirafold
- Generative UI that converts agent responses into live charts, tables, and graphs
- Mission Control dashboard to manage multiple sessions on a single grid
- Open-source and MIT licensed, running directly on your machine
- Secure mobile pairing via QR code with end-to-end encryption
Cons of Mirafold
- Requires a paid hosted relay or self-hosting setup for encrypted mobile pairing
- Dependent on terminal coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI
- Limited to users who prefer browser-based wrappers for their terminal tools

About AI Eyes
AI Eyes is a permission-first co-presence prototype designed for AI companions. Created by developer Deen Storkey, this open-source tool establishes a privacy-focused, local-first foundation for managing what your digital companions can see and hear.
With its initial v0.1 release, AI Eyes allows users to choose a specific screen or window to capture and gives granular, separate controls for screen, system audio, and microphone inputs. The interface makes it easy to invite named companions and ensures transparency by always displaying when sensing is active. Users can pause or end sessions at any time; ending a session immediately stops all media tracks and resets the session completely.
Built using Codex and GPT-5.6, this prototype is focused entirely on local-first permission, presence, and session-control. Please note that in this foundational stage, no external AI provider or semantic understanding has been connected yet.
Pros of AI Eyes
- Privacy-focused, local-first permission architecture
- Separate, granular control over screen, system audio, and microphone capture
- Clear visual indicators showing when active sensing is occurring
- Open-source code base allowing developers to review and build upon the prototype
Cons of AI Eyes
- It is a prototype (v0.1) and does not yet have an active AI provider or semantic understanding connected
- Limited to foundational capture and session-control features at this stage
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI Eyes?
AI Eyes is an open-source, permission-first co-presence prototype built to manage what AI companions can access. It provides local-first controls over screen sharing, audio, and session state.
Does AI Eyes currently analyze my screen or voice?
No. In the v0.1 release, no AI provider or semantic understanding is connected. The prototype is currently a local-first foundation focused on permission, capture, presence, and session-control.
How do I control my privacy while using AI Eyes?
AI Eyes lets you choose exactly which screen or window to capture and gives you separate toggle controls for your screen, system audio, and microphone. There is also a clear indicator to show when sensing is active, and you can pause or end the session to stop all media tracks instantly.
What technologies were used to build AI Eyes?
The AI Eyes prototype was built using Codex and GPT-5.6.
