Let ChatGPT and Claude work on your own computer.
Shellway connects the AI chat you already use to the files and terminal on your machine. Ask in plain words, and the work happens on your computer, from anywhere.
Works with ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor. Needs Node.js 22+ on your computer (Linux, macOS, Windows).Set up once, then just ask.
No ports to open and no networking to learn. The Shellway app on your computer makes a secure outbound connection, so it works behind home Wi-Fi and office firewalls.

- See an activity log of what was done, when and on which computer.
