Introduction
What niuniu is, what it solves, the three deployments at a glance.
niuniu is a local-first AI development workstation that lets you drive multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel — across projects, repositories, and agents — all from a single machine.
What problem it solves
Traditional AI coding assistants work in a one-to-one model: one session, one task at a time. When you’re juggling three projects and five open issues, constantly context-switching becomes the bottleneck.
niuniu’s core abstraction is the workspace: each workspace maps to one issue, and comes with its own isolated git worktree, its own Claude session, and its own shell environment. Multiple workspaces run in parallel without interfering with each other.
Three deployment options
- Personal — a desktop app that runs entirely on your local machine, distributed as a single binary for all three platforms.
- Team — a cloud-hosted multi-tenant edition deployed at team.niu6ai.com, with organizations, members, and audit logs.
- Self-Hosted — deploy via docker compose on your own infrastructure, backed by PostgreSQL, with fully private data.
For installation details, see the Install guide.
