FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CodeHawke today announced the launch of HawkeRun, a local-first supervisor that keeps AI coding agents running while developers are away. HawkeRun gives developers a durable runtime that feeds tasks to Claude, Codex, Ollama, and other command-line workers, detects stalls, kills frozen processes, requeues work, and escalates only the decisions that truly need a human.
AI coding agents have become remarkably capable, but they are built around a person watching the screen. The moment that person steps away, agents stall on routine questions, hang on stuck subprocesses, and lose hours of progress. HawkeRun closes that gap.
"The supervisor is permanent, and the AI tools are disposable," said the CodeHawke team. "People should not have to babysit their agents. HawkeRun makes them work like a managed team that reviews itself, recovers from failure, and only knocks on your door when it matters."
Key capabilities
- Durable state. A single supervisor owns task state in an embedded database, with leases, heartbeats, and automatic crash recovery.
- Whole-tree process kills. Hung workers are torn down completely so orphaned children cannot fake progress.
- A no-ask gate. Routine "should I continue?" stalls are rejected so work keeps moving, while genuinely risky decisions escalate by email or phone.
- Agent sign-off. Workers implement, review each other, and verify with tests before any task is marked done.
- Local-first by design. Source code stays on the developer's machine.
Availability
HawkeRun runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. A free tier is available today, with Pro, Power, and Team plans for larger workflows. Developers can get started at hawkerun.com.
