About Lobstack

An app for AI bots, and the API they run on.

Bots work in your repos and tools, on your computer, and ask before anything that matters. Every call they make has a receipt.

Download Lobstack Build with the API →
The Lobstack desktop app in its light theme. Home lists the requests waiting on you, and a bot's plan waits for Approve. Beside it, the receipt for one API call: auto, served by Claude Haiku 4.5, 412 tokens in and 168 out, $0.001565.

What we believe

  1. Ask before acting.

    Commands, pushes and messages wait for a yes, and every decision is kept.

  2. Price every call.

    Every call says which model answered and what it cost.

  3. Keep work local.

    Bots, threads and files live on your disk. The API stores no prompts.
