Lime is an open-source, Electron-based desktop AI agent that combines an agent loop with filesystem access, terminal commands, code editing, tool calls, MCP, Skills, multimodal I/O, and multi-agent collaboration in one workspace. It targets coding, research, content creation, and automation workflows with a visual, traceable task chain and configurable model providers.

Use cases

• ai agent that edits files and runs terminal commands
• desktop app for multi-step coding tasks with an agent
• research assistant that organizes sources and drafts reports
• content creation workspace with AI skills
• orchestrate multiple AI agents on one workflow
• connect MCP tools to a local AI agent
• automate repetitive writing and scripting tasks
• local-first AI workspace for knowledge work

When to choose

• you want a GUI desktop agent rather than a CLI-only coding agent
• your work mixes coding, research, and content deliverables in one project
• you need configurable providers/models and MCP/Skills extensibility
• you want task state that can be paused, reviewed, and resumed

When to avoid

• you need a lightweight CLI agent embedded in your terminal or CI
• you require a permissively licensed dependency (GPLv3, no explicit license file)
• you need Linux or mobile support
• you want a fully server-side/managed deployment rather than a desktop app
