Persistent AI
workers need
somewhere
to work.
Qalatra is open-source infrastructure for agents that keep context, receive real work, and run beyond one chat. Start free on your machine or add managed team access and an always-on cloud node.
Context-switching is where work dies. Qalatra keeps your tasks, notes, and agents in one place — so you return to work already done.
Four pieces.
One living system.
A real database for tasks.
SQLite on your machine. Projects, contexts, priorities, recurrence, due dates, energy levels, agent assignments. Your AI doesn't scan a markdown file — it queries a schema.
- → structured fields agents can reason about
- → full-text search across years of history
- → connect to anything with an MCP server
Daily notes with actual memory.
A structured journal stored in your database — not flat files. Daily stand-ups, meeting notes, half-baked ideas. Your agent reads and writes them directly, so yesterday's context is always in scope.
- → daily and weekly reviews that include everything
- → agent can append, annotate, or summarize
- → your notes live in the database alongside your tasks
Agents that operate, not just read.
Any folder with an agent.config becomes dispatchable. Assign one to a task and Qalatra runs it, captures the output, and surfaces it for your review. You come back to work already done.
- → works with any command-line agent — Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Cursor
- → MCP server exposes 58 tools across your tasks, notes and habits
- → schedule, queue, or trigger on events
Habits, kept honestly.
Streaks, cadence, and your agent checking in. The tracker the app actually needs, not a dashboard for dashboards.
- → daily / weekly / custom cadence
- → agent nudges, never notifications
- → streaks and history your agent can reason about
Open a terminal.
Your context is already there.
Drop into Qalatra's integrated terminal for long-form planning, deep-dive conversations, or anything that needs more than a task card. Bring Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Cursor — any MCP-compatible agent connects directly to your tasks, notes, and backlog. No setup. Your whole system is already in context.
Free and open source.
Everything included.
Integrated terminal
A real shell docked inside the app. Open fullscreen, run agents interactively, or leave it idle while you work tasks above it.
Local-first, yours
SQLite. Plain markdown notes. Everything on your machine, versionable, backup-able, portable. No telemetry.
Four views, one database
Priority, Project, Backlog, Habits. The same data under four angles.
MCP-native
A built-in Model Context Protocol server on :3457. Any MCP-aware agent gets structured access to your whole system.
Queue, schedule, dispatch
Agents run in the background on a schedule, triggered by a task, or queued manually. Jobs are tracked — you see what ran, when, and what came back.
Open source, MIT
The whole thing's on GitHub. Fork it, self-host it, write your own agents. The roadmap is public.
Your workspace, everywhere.
Your local brain, everywhere.
Keep the free desktop app as your home base, then add licensed web access for the people on your team — in any browser, including the one on your phone. Connect includes a 14-day trial and seat-based monthly or annual billing.
desktop stays free → one seat per person → manage access in the portal
Your agent is ready.
Give it somewhere to work.
