# Pi Web
[中文文档](./README.zh-CN.md) | [日本語](./README.ja.md)
Local web UI for the [pi coding agent](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono). Pi Web reads your local pi session files and gives you a browser workspace for session browsing, real-time chat, model configuration, skill management, and project file preview.
![Pi Web shows the same pi session with structured Markdown, tool calls, and project navigation beside the CLI](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agegr/pi-web/main/docs/screenshot2.png)
The same pi session in CLI and Pi Web: structured tool calls, readable Markdown, session browsing, and cleaner results.
## Quick Start
Pi Web requires Node.js 22.19.0 or newer. Check your version with `node --version`.
**Run without installing:**
```bash
npx @agegr/pi-web@latest
```
**Or install globally:**
```bash
npm install -g @agegr/pi-web
pi-web
```
Then open [http://127.0.0.1:30141](http://127.0.0.1:30141). The CLI will try to open the browser automatically after the server is ready. Pi Web listens on `127.0.0.1` by default.
**Options:**
```bash
pi-web --port 8080 # custom port
pi-web --hostname 0.0.0.0 # expose on a trusted network
pi-web -p 8080 -H 0.0.0.0 # combine options
pi-web --no-open # do not open the browser automatically
PORT=8080 pi-web # environment variable is also supported
PI_WEB_HOSTNAME=0.0.0.0 pi-web # explicit network exposure
PI_WEB_ALLOWED_HOSTS=pi-web.internal pi-web # allow an exact proxy/custom hostname
PI_WEB_NO_OPEN=1 pi-web # useful when running as a background service
```
Pi Web has no application-level authentication and can invoke a high-privilege agent. Do not expose it to the internet; only use non-loopback bindings on a trusted network.
API requests accept loopback names, IP literals, the selected bind hostname, and exact comma-separated names in `PI_WEB_ALLOWED_HOSTS`. Configure that variable when a trusted reverse proxy uses a different external hostname.
## HTTP Proxy
Pi Web reads the standard `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY` environment variables for server-side model and API requests.
On macOS or Linux:
```bash
HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890 \
HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7890 \
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1 \
npx @agegr/pi-web@latest
```
On Windows PowerShell:
```powershell
$env:HTTP_PROXY = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"
$env:HTTPS_PROXY = "http://127.0.0.1:7890"
$env:NO_PROXY = "localhost,127.0.0.1"
npx @agegr/pi-web@latest
```
## Features
- **Pick work back up**: browse previous pi conversations by project without digging through terminal history or session paths.
- **Try different directions safely**: continue from an earlier message or fork a session into a separate route.
- **Work across branches**: switch Git worktrees from the sidebar so new sessions and the Explorer follow the checkout you choose.
- **Chat beside the project**: browse files on the left and preview source, docs, images, audio, and PDFs on the right while the agent works.
- **See session state clearly**: context usage, cost, compaction state, and system prompt details are visible from the top bar.
- **Configure less from the terminal**: manage models, login/API keys, model tests, and skill switches from the web UI.
- **Use the interface in your language**: switch between the supported UI languages from the top bar.
## Notes
- **Data directory**: Pi Web reads `~/.pi/agent/sessions` by default. Set `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` to point at another pi agent directory.
- **Session files**: files are stored as `~/.pi/agent/sessions/<encoded-cwd>/<timestamp>_<uuid>.jsonl`.
- **Model config**: the Models panel reads and writes `models.json` in the pi agent directory. Model lists and defaults come from pi's config.
- **File access**: file browsing and preview are scoped to the selected project directory and working directories that appear in sessions.
- **Git worktrees**: see [Worktrees in Pi Web](./docs/worktrees.md) for when the switcher appears, how new worktrees are created, and what removal does.
- **Forks vs in-session branches**: Fork creates a new `.jsonl` file. "Edit from here" creates another branch inside the same session file.
- **Internationalization**: see [Internationalization](./docs/i18n.md) for using translations and adding languages or UI text.
## Development
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```
The local dev server runs at [http://127.0.0.1:30141](http://127.0.0.1:30141).
Common checks:
```bash
node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit
npm run lint
```
Avoid running `next build` / `npm run build` during local development. It writes to `.next/` and can interfere with the dev server; leave builds for release work.
