The desktop app that brings AI chat, file management, git, and terminal together — so you can manage entire projects from one place.
Available for Windows. Mac & Linux coming soon.
// Showrunner AI Chat — under the hood
import { OpenRouter } from 'openrouter';
const chat = new OpenRouter({
apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
});
// Switch models mid-conversation
const response = await chat.send({
model: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5",
messages: [
{ role: "system", content: "You are a helpful assistant." },
{ role: "user", content: "Explain this codebase to me." },
],
// Automatic fallback if model is unavailable
fallback: "google/gemini-3-flash",
});
// Token tracking built-in
console.log(`Cost: $${response.usage.cost}`);
console.log(`Tokens: ${response.usage.total_tokens}`);Use Cases

Showrunner completely changed how I manage my projects. Having AI chat, files, and git in one place is a game-changer.
Bob Brown

The ability to switch between 200+ AI models mid-conversation is incredible. No other tool gives you that flexibility.
Charlie Davis
CodeHarbor
One-click sync saved our team hours every week. Non-technical people can now push changes without touching the terminal.
Diana Evans
AutomateX
The integrated terminal with split panes means I never have to leave Showrunner. Everything I need is right here.
Ethan Ford
AICore
AI agents running in isolated worktrees is brilliant. They do the work, I review the PR. Simple as that.
Fiona Grant
ScaleAI
The file tree with markdown preview and drag-and-drop is so much better than juggling VS Code and Finder.
George Harris
RapidAI
Time travel in Showrunner lets me restore any previous version of my project. It's like having infinite undo for your entire repo.
Hannah Irving
CollabAI
Multi-context workspaces let me switch between client projects instantly. Each one has its own chat history and file tree.
Ian Johnson
FlexAI
The @file mention feature is genius. I just type @readme.md in the chat and the AI instantly has the full context.
