Looking Glass adds persistent coding sessions that can schedule their own next turns
teleport66 · reddit · 2026-07-21
Looking Glass is a local AI coding CLI built around persistent, automatable sessions.
- A session can survive after you close the terminal, and a scheduler can later trigger new turns inside the same session.
- Those turns reopen the original workspace, preserve conversation/tool history, permissions, agent config, and artifacts, then inspect changed files or logs, run commands, patch code, and write results back.
- This enables workflows like delayed deploy checks, recurring test-fix loops, continuing debugging after new logs arrive, and scheduled reviews that keep working even when the terminal is closed.
- It also supports concurrent worker agents, with separate model/reasoning settings for the main coordinator and faster or cheaper worker models.
- The stack includes a TUI/CLI, OpenAI-compatible gateways, file search/patching, bounded Bash, persistent approvals, SQLite-backed state, and a user-level systemd scheduler.
