Kiro Crew

A persistent workspace for development work that self-improves and continues beyond one session.

Kiro Crew is an open source development workspace that runs locally or remotely on

your hardware. It is persistent, self-learning, and self-evolving. Work with it

from the desktop app, web dashboard, and CLI, or continue the same work through

connection tools like Slack and Discord.

Your multi-step tasks can run unattended, recurring jobs run on your schedule,

and heartbeats monitor systems until something needs attention. Kiro Crew Apps

tailor that experience to a specific job, combining a purpose-built interface

with agents, skills, schedules, integrations, and backend services.

## Quick start

You choose how to run Kiro Crew: the desktop app with automatic updates, a

one-line install on your machine or a remote host, the Docker image for

always-on servers, or a build from source. Every path runs on kiro-cli

underneath, so the first launch installs it if needed and guides Kiro

device-code sign-in.

### App downloads

The desktop app starts a bundled Gateway when no local Gateway is already

running, updates itself on the channel you download, and can connect to a

remote Gateway over an SSH tunnel. See the

[desktop app guide](docs/build/desktop-app.md).

On Linux, start with the one-line install — it is the smoothest path, works

on every distro and both architectures, and puts kirocrew on your PATH,

which is what makes kirocrew service install (and the AppArmor profile the

agent sandbox needs on Ubuntu 23.10+) reachable:

curl -fsSL https://download.crew.kiro.dev/cli.sh | sh

You then work in the dashboard at http://localhost:5476. Add a **desktop

package** when you want what only the Electron shell gives you: an

application-menu entry and icon, a native window, a taskbar badge, a system-wide

hotkey, a Gateway that starts and stops with the app, and in-app updates. A

.deb or .rpm installs to a fixed path under /opt, which is what lets it set

the AppArmor profile up for you; the AppImage needs no root but needs FUSE and

carries a manual sandbox step. uname -m prints which architecture you need.

sudo apt install ./KiroCrew-x86_64.deb     # Debian, Ubuntu
sudo dnf install ./KiroCrew-x86_64.rpm     # Fedora, RHEL, CentOS Stream, AL2023

The Linux desktop app needs glibc 2.34 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+,
