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

How does mobile pairing work?
You can pair your phone with a QR code using end-to-end encryption, which is supported via a paid hosted relay or a self-hosted option.
About WebMotion
WebMotion is a highly technical, open-source tool designed for browser-native video composition. It fundamentally shifts how programmatic video is created by eliminating the need for heavy server-side infrastructure like render farms, headless Chrome instances, or even FFmpeg. Instead, it leverages the DOM and the modern WebCodecs API to compose and encode MP4 videos directly within the user's browser. The core philosophy of WebMotion is deterministic rendering. Every single frame generated by the tool is a pure function of its frame index, meaning developers have absolute, frame-by-frame control over the output. This makes it an exceptionally powerful utility for developers and creators looking to programmatically generate data visualizations, generative art, or automated marketing videos using familiar web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) entirely client-side.
Pros of WebMotion
- Operates entirely in the browser, eliminating server costs and the need for complex backend rendering infrastructure.
- Utilizes modern WebCodecs for fast, efficient, and native MP4 encoding.
- Completely open-source, allowing developers to inspect, modify, and host the tool themselves.
Cons of WebMotion
- Requires a solid understanding of web development and programmatic rendering, making it inaccessible to non-technical users.
- Performance and rendering speed are heavily reliant on the user's local machine and browser capabilities rather than scalable cloud servers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install FFmpeg or run a backend server to use WebMotion?
No. WebMotion is entirely browser-native. It uses the WebCodecs API to encode video directly in the DOM, so there is no need for FFmpeg, headless Chrome, or a backend render farm.
What does it mean that 'every frame is a pure function of the frame index'?
It means the rendering is deterministic. You write code that defines exactly what a frame should look like based solely on its sequence number (e.g., Frame 1, Frame 2), ensuring perfect, predictable, and repeatable animations.
