Bakin'

Bakin' sits on top of your agent runtime, like OpenClaw, and turns raw agent execution into a visible, collaborative, productive operating layer with tasks, schedules, workflows, memory, observability, and extension points you can adapt to the way your team actually works.

---

It gives teams a self-hosted dashboard, backend, CLI, and plugin system for managing tasks, schedules, assets, workflows, memory, models, health checks, and automation.

The product is local-first: Bakin' owns its data under ~/.bakin/, talks to the configured runtime through adapters, and serves the browser UI from one Bun-powered process.

Install

Install the current release candidate:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/markhayden/bakin/main/install.sh | BAKIN_VERSION=v0.0.1-rc.8 bash

The installer uses /usr/local/bin when it can write there, otherwise it falls back to ~/.local/bin. If bakin is not found after install, add the fallback directory to your PATH:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Then onboard and start:

bakin onboard
bakin start

Open http://localhost:3737.

Running Bakin'

bakin start        # start in the foreground
bakin stop         # stop a running Bakin process
bakin restart      # stop, then start again
bakin status       # show server, dispatch, and health status
bakin doctor       # run health checks now

The server listens on port 3737 by default. Set PORT to run it somewhere else:

PORT=4000 bakin start

Update

bakin update

bakin update replaces the current binary with the latest release and verifies the checksum before installing it.
