Oniko

The desktop app for every Agent

Threads per project, approvals you can read, and a task board that hands work to the agent in its own worktree.

Add retry with backoff to the sync worker. It falls over on 429s.

Oniko talks to Claude Code over the Agent Client Protocol. Every tool call is visible, every risky command waits for your yes, and your backlog becomes branches with pull requests.

Every tool call in plain sight. Nothing runs behind your back.

Add retry with backoff to the sync worker, then run its tests.

Ran 3 tools
  • Readsrc/sync/worker.ts
  • SearchfetchPage( in src/
  • Editsrc/sync/worker.ts
Retry is in. Running the sync tests next.

Allow this action?

pnpm vitest run src/sync

Approval required
YesYes, and allow pnpm vitest * commandsNo

Approvals with the exact command. A permission request waits in the thread with what will run and the agent's options: allow once, allow similar commands, or refuse. Threads reattach to their Claude session after a restart.

src/sync/worker.ts+4-1
 export async function syncPage(cursor: string) {
-  const page = await fetchPage(cursor)
+  const page = await withRetry(() => fetchPage(cursor), {
+    retries: 4,
+    backoffMs: (attempt) => 250 * 2 ** attempt,
+    retryOn: (error) => error.status === 429,

Diffs, not walls of text. Tool runs fold into one line. File edits open as diffs.

Mode, model and effort per thread. Picked in the composer, remembered per subscription.

Work and personal Claude, one window.

Each subscription is a Claude config folder, like ~/.claude. Folders already on your machine are suggested when you add one.

Live account status
Email, plan and organization for each login, checked with claude auth status.
Signed out?
Oniko shows the exact claude auth login command for that folder.
Threads keep their account
Switching the active subscription only affects new threads and tasks.

    1. 1

      Move it to To do

      Any status marked Not started puts an agent on the task, on its subscription.

    2. 2

      It gets a worktree

      A branch named after the task, checked out under ~/.oniko/worktrees, with its own thread.

    3. 3

      You get a pull request

      With Open a pull request on, the agent pushes and runs gh pr create after its first turn.

    No worktree until an agent picks up the task

    Your threads stay on your machine. Telemetry stays anonymous.

    Oniko reports a little anonymous data so crashes get fixed on the hardware people really use. Turn it off in Settings at any time.
