Loly Companion: desktop screen island that watches over your AI coding agents
A non-intrusive floating desktop companion that orchestrates autonomous AI coding agents with real-time terminal approval gates, powered by Google Gemini and on-device Chrome Built-in AI.
Why it matters
It puts a human approval gate directly on the desktop: instead of babysitting chaotic terminals, developers supervise multiple autonomous agents from a floating notch interface that pauses risky commands until approved.
What you could build with it
A freelance developer juggling several client repos could keep Loly pinned to the desktop to supervise multiple autonomous coding agents at once, approving risky terminal commands through the floating notch without losing the thread of the main task — fewer broken builds from unattended agents, with every approval one glance away.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge — publicly announced only hours ago with 2 stars; no independent usage reports or reviews exist yet.
