AppLoop
Visually build apps with local AI Hermes Loop
AppLoop is a local-first visual builder for generated Next.js apps. Create projects from templates, run them in live previews, visually select exact UI elements, and ask Hermes to make targeted source-code changes. Each project has its own workspace, runtime, persisted AI conversation, theme settings, checkpoints, logs, and local SQLite state. - https://github.com/josoroma/AppLoop
I built AppLoop because prompting an AI to modify a running application often lacks precise visual context. You can describe a button or section, but the agent may still edit the wrong component or apply the change too broadly.
AppLoop connects the live Next.js interface directly to the AI workflow. You can open Inspect mode, select the exact element you want to change, and send its classname, selector, route, and surrounding metadata with your prompt. Hermes then edits the generated project inside its isolated workspace while AppLoop streams the response and refreshes the preview.
Projects run as real Next.js applications, with separate preview processes, persistent conversations, runtime logs, themes, screenshots, and git-backed checkpoints. The goal is to combine the precision of a visual design tool with the flexibility and ownership of production-ready source code.
I would especially appreciate feedback on the visual-targeting workflow, session and checkpoint behavior, and the local-first developer experience.
