What is Verlox

An AI terminal that asks before it acts.

Verlox is an AI terminal for Windows built for developers who want control, transparency, and reliability. You say what you want in plain English, like "free up disk space," "reinstall dependencies," or "commit my work and push." Instead of silently firing off commands, Verlox lays out a numbered plan, scores how risky each step is, and shows the exact commands and files it will touch.

Nothing runs until you say so. Risky steps stop and ask. Anything the AI deletes or overwrites goes to a Recovery Vault you can restore from. If you've ever wanted an AI agent that runs real commands but worried about what it might do behind your back, Verlox is built for exactly that. Every move is understandable and reversible before it happens.

Why Verlox

Other AI terminals run first. Verlox asks first.

Most AI terminals are built to act for you, fast. Verlox is built to keep you in the loop. Same speed, with a checkpoint on every action that matters.

Most AI terminals
  • Run commands automatically
  • You see what changed afterward
  • Undo means digging through history
  • Trust the output and hope
Verlox
  • Plans and risk-scores every command
  • You approve before anything runs
  • One-click restore from the Recovery Vault
  • You stay the final decision-maker
Transparent

You see the plan first

Every request becomes a numbered plan with the real commands, the files it touches, and a risk score per step. No hidden actions.

Controllable

You decide what runs

Approve, decline, or simulate. Set per-capability rules (always allow, ask every time, or never allow) so the AI stays inside your lines.

Reversible

You can undo it

Deleted and overwritten files land in the Recovery Vault. Restore any of them, and keep them for 24 hours, 7 days, or forever.

Approval plans & risk scoring

See the plan before anything runs.

Verlox turns your request into a clear, numbered plan: every command, every file it will touch, and a risk score on each step. Low for reads and searches, medium for installs and edits, high for deletes, force-pushes, and production changes. The risky steps always stop and ask. You approve the whole plan, edit it, or decline.

Recovery Vault

Deleted the wrong thing? It's not gone.

Before any risky action, Verlox saves a recoverable snapshot. If the AI deletes or overwrites a file, folder, config, or script, it's waiting in the Recovery Vault. Restore it with one click, and choose how long snapshots stick around: 24 hours, 7 days, or forever. It's the safety net that makes letting AI run real commands feel calm instead of risky.

Permission controls

Decide once what the AI is allowed to do.

Set a rule for each kind of action. Let it read files and search the project freely. Make it ask every time before installing packages or hitting the network. Block production access entirely. Verlox enforces your rules on every plan, so you're not re-approving the same safe steps forever, or worrying about the dangerous ones.

Simulate · Pro

Try it as a dry run. Commit for real, later.

Simulate a plan and Verlox predicts the outcome without touching anything: how many files change, what gets installed, whether anything is deleted, plus a before-and-after diff of every edit. When it looks right, run it for real. When it doesn't, you never had to find out the hard way.

How it works

01

You ask

Type your intent in plain English, like "reinstall dependencies", "commit my changes", or "what's taking up my disk?".

02

Verlox plans & scores

It lays out the exact steps, scores the risk of each, and shows the files it will touch, all before running a thing.

03

You approve, and can undo

Approve, decline, or simulate. It runs only what you allow, and anything it changes stays restorable in the Vault.

Timeline replay

A chronological record of every action the AI took: installed a package, edited a config, restarted a server, each with its risk and result.

Context boundaries

A plain ✓/✗ list of what the AI can and can't see: your working folder and open tabs, but never unopened files, your secrets, or other apps.

Plain-English commands

No flags to memorize. Describe what you want and Verlox works out the right commands for your shell, then explains the result in plain words.

Running pane

Dev servers and watchers get their own pane, tagged by who started them (you or the AI). See what's live, open its URL, or stop it in one click.

Paste a screenshot

Stuck on an error you can't put into words? Drop in a screenshot. Verlox reads it and works out the fix with you.

Automatic updates

Verlox keeps itself current in the background. New features and fixes arrive without a reinstall.

Installing on Windows

Verlox is a new, independent app, so Windows SmartScreen may show a "Windows protected your PC" message the first time you run the installer. That's expected for new software, so click More info, then Run anyway to continue. A signed installer that removes this prompt is on the way.

Who's behind it

Built by one developer who wanted AI in the terminal, without the fear.

AI that runs commands is powerful, but handing it a shell with no guardrails is nerve-wracking. So I built the terminal I wanted: one that shows its plan, scores the risk, asks before anything destructive, and can undo what it did. It's early, it's improving fast, and I read every piece of feedback. If something's broken or missing, tell me.

Put AI in your terminal. Keep the keys.

Free to start. Download it, ask it to do something real, and watch it show you the plan before it moves.
