Everything that needs you, in one window.

Firekeeper is your daily work queue. Every program or script you run gets its own lane, where its questions wait for you, along with the commands it wants you to start and its work in flight, with live ETAs.

Free for Windows 10 and 11. No account, nothing in the cloud.

One window, every session

Run five jobs at once and you'll still know which one needs you. Firekeeper keeps each in its own lane, with the ones waiting on you at the top.

A lane per session

Each program or script gets its own lane, and the lanes that need you rise to the top. Any lane folds down to a single line.

Answer in one click

A session asks, and you pick an option or type a few words. It hears back the moment you answer.

You press Start

When a session wants a command run, you see the whole thing first, and nothing runs until you press Start.

Work in flight

See what each session is up to, with a progress bar and an ETA, and what it has lined up next.

Docked or in the tray

Dock it to the edge of the screen, or keep it in the tray with a badge. A hotkey brings it back.

Yours alone

Everything stays on your computer. The server listens on 127.0.0.1 only, and nothing a session sends is ever run on its own.

Connect anything

Drive Firekeeper from your own code, from a shell or over MCP. Whichever way you come in, the same rules apply.

REST and C

Plain HTTP and JSON under /v1, from any language, and a small C library with no dependencies for native tools.

For your programs

flare

A command line for scripts, build steps and hooks: flare work start, flare add, flare wait.

For scripts

MCP

Any MCP client adds Firekeeper as a server at 127.0.0.1:47311/mcp and learns it from the built-in guide. For Claude Code, keep setup's ‘Connect to Claude Code’ box ticked, or press Connect in Firekeeper's Settings.

For MCP clients

Download

Firekeeper 0.2.9 for Windows. It installs for your account only, needs no administrator, and updates itself when you ask.

  1. Run FirekeeperSetup.exe. It adds Firekeeper to the Start menu and starts it.
  2. To update, open Settings and press Check for updates. Every update is signed, and checked before it's installed.

Until Firekeeper is signed, Windows may say it's from an unknown publisher: choose More info, then Run anyway.
