MEL — THE AGENTIC TERMINAL

The terminal for
Production-ready
Agentic work.

$ curl -LO https://downloads.openmel.dev/Mel-macos.zip

Mel is the agentic terminal that plans, builds, tests and ships your work in one local-first workflow. Build apps, websites, online stores, AI agents and automations just by saying what you want, with every top model and your own keys. Go from prompt to production-ready code, with you in control. Available on Mac, Linux, Windows and VS Code.

One workspace, from existing project to verified output.

Work directly where technical work happens.

Mel is built into the terminal, so reading files, running commands, editing code, and moving through a project all happen in one place. No handoff between chat, shell, and editor. Just a clearer path from task to output.
