Local Next.js app builder that drives a coding-agent CLI you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Qwen Code) to build web apps with a live preview.
Claudable is an MIT web app (also buildable as an Electron desktop app) that puts a Lovable-style chat and live preview on top of a coding-agent CLI you log into yourself: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, Qwen Code or Z.AI GLM. It generates Next.js + Tailwind apps, can connect Supabase and deploy to Vercel. Model access comes from those agents' own plans; Qwen Code is listed as free. Local models are not documented. No prebuilt desktop binaries. Last commit March 2026; seven contributors.
