Your AI, Made Visible. Made Yours.
A desktop app that lets everyday users see and tune what their AI assistant
knows about them — no command line, no code, just a clean visual dashboard.
You use an AI assistant (like Claude Code) to help with your work, your writing, your projects. But have you ever wondered: what does it actually remember about me? Does it know my preferences? Is it following the rules I think it is?
If you're not a programmer, those answers are buried in hidden folders full of code-like files. You're not supposed to look.
Harness Control changes that. It's a friendly desktop window that shows you exactly what your AI knows — and later, lets you adjust things with a click. Think of it as the "Settings" app for your AI.
- See what your AI remembers about you — your name, where you live, how you like to communicate. All displayed as simple cards, not configuration files.
- Check which AI model you're using — and understand what each model means (speed vs. capability) in plain language.
- Browse your projects — see what special rules the AI follows in each one.
- Review installed skills — the extra abilities your AI has (web search, image generation, PDF reading).
- Switch between English and Chinese — one click.
You don't need to become a prompt engineer. You just need to see the dashboard.
AI assistants get better the more they know about you. But when that knowledge is invisible, you lose the ability to:
- Catch mistakes ("I don't live in Beijing anymore")
- Update preferences ("I actually prefer formal tone now")
- Understand why the AI behaves differently in different projects
Better visibility = better output. When you can see and tune what your AI knows, your results improve — without writing a single line of code.
- Download the app from the Releases page (coming soon)
- Open it. It reads your existing AI configuration automatically.
- Explore the tabs to see what your AI knows.

Harness Control reads your agent's configuration, translates everything into readable cards, and shows it in a clean dashboard. It never changes anything unless you tell it to.
