Edit your local site by asking

A floating prompt bar for any local website. Type a change, the model of your choice edits your real files, and the page reloads.

Get started View on GitHub

A real, unedited first run: setup, add a site, ask for a change, undo, switch theme.

Everything stays where it belongs

Your files, your models, your browser. LiveQuill only adds a bar on top, and nothing is written to your project to make it appear.

Real file edits

The model searches, reads and edits the project with sandboxed tools, then the page reloads on its own.

One-click undo

Every file is backed up before it is touched. Undo restores the last request, even for CLI agents.

Live answers

The panel streams what the model says, the tools it calls and the files it changes.

All your sites

A dashboard lists your projects. Serve a folder as-is, or sit in front of Vite, Next or Astro.

Any model

Switch between cloud APIs, local models and CLI agents from the same menu, without restarting.

Looks like home

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Minimal themes, in light and dark, following your system.

Sites dashboard
Your sites. Add a project folder once, open it with the bar whenever you need it.
Provider setup page
Setup in a minute. Detected providers are one click away, and each connection is checked live.
Model menu grouped by provider
Every model in one menu. Reasoning and Fast only show up when the model supports them.
Bar themes
Four themes. Pick the one that feels like the assistant you already use.

Bring your own model

Cloud, local or the coding agent you already pay for, even if you only have the Claude Desktop or ChatGPT app. Adding a provider is one adapter file.

Coming next

Two improvements are planned. Follow the repository to see them land.

Automatic snapshots

A timeline of every change, each with a preview: a thumbnail of the page, the request behind it and the files it touched. Check any version live, then restore it in one click.

Dynamic sites, mock database

Sites with a backend, plugged into a disposable database seeded with demo data, so the model edits data-driven pages without touching real data.

Get started in a minute

Python 3.10+ and nothing else. No build step, no package to install in your project.

  1. Clone and run. The first launch opens the setup page in your browser.
  2. Pick a provider. Paste an API key, or use Ollama or a CLI agent detected on your machine.
  3. Add a site. Choose a project folder, or the URL of your dev server.
  4. Open it and ask. “Make the hero title red.” Watch it change, undo if you don’t like it.
# get LiveQuill

Local first, locked down

LiveQuill lets a model touch your files, so the guard rails are not optional.

127.0.0.1 onlySession token, same-origin checks and Host validation on every API call.
Keys stay server-sideStored with 600 permissions, never sent to the browser, masked in errors.
Sandboxed toolsNo path outside the project, no .git, .env or node_modules, no shell.
Backups firstEvery change is saved before it happens, so Undo always works.
