neruva-control 0.4.2

Local daemon for Neruva Cockpit -- the web dashboard for AI that runs your computer and writes code. Two agents: Neruva Computer (sees your screen, clicks, types, navigates apps for you) and Neruva Code (writes code, edits files, runs commands, debugs). Remembers what you've done across sessions. Chat with it mid-task to redirect. Loopback-only; runs on your machine.

neruva-control

Local daemon for Neruva Cockpit — the web dashboard for AI that runs your computer and writes code for you.

Cockpit runs in your browser. This daemon runs on your laptop. Together they let an AI:

• Neruva Computer — see your screen, click, type, navigate apps (organize files, fill forms, drive Excel, browse the web)
• Neruva Code — write code, edit files, run commands, debug — drop it in any project folder
• Remember what you've done across sessions so it gets better at your work
• Take direction mid-task — type a message while it's working and it adjusts

Everything runs on your machine. The daemon binds to loopback (127.0.0.1) and never opens a network port.

Install

pip install "neruva-control[agent]"
neruva-control-install

The installer:

1. Generates an auth token at ~/.config/neruva/control.token
2. Registers a background service (launchd / systemd-user / Task Scheduler)
3. Starts the daemon on 127.0.0.1:7331
4. Prints a one-time link https://neruva.io/cockpit#token=<TOKEN> — open once, browser remembers your machine

The [agent] extra installs pyautogui + Pillow for the Neruva Computer screen control. Skip it if you only want Neruva Code (text/file work).

How it works

[browser at neruva.io/cockpit]
       ↕ WebSocket (loopback :7331, token-authed)
[neruva-control daemon]
   ├─ POST /v1/sessions {agent_type: "code"|"computer", task}
   ├─ Streams every step (screenshots, actions, results) to the browser
   ├─ Accepts mid-flight chat messages — type to redirect
   └─ Records to your Neruva account so the agent learns
       ↕ HTTPS (your Neruva API key only)
[api.neruva.io]

The daemon binds to 127.0.0.1 only. The browser tab at neruva.io/cockpit connects via loopback WebSocket using a one-time token. Sessions never leave your machine in transit.

Quick start (after install)

1. Open the link the installer printed (or run neruva-control link to print it again)
2. In Cockpit, pick a Mode — Neruva Code or Neruva Computer
3. Type what you want done:
   • "Open my budget spreadsheet and add this month's expenses"
   • "Write a Python script that renames all photos in this folder by date"
   • "Fix the failing test in tests/auth.py"
4. Watch it work. Type into the chat any time to redirect.

Configuration

Drop your Neruva API key into ~/.config/neruva/.env (Linux/macOS) or %APPDATA%\neruva\neruva\.env (Windows). The daemon auto-loads it at startup so you never touch your shell profile.

NERUVA_API_KEY=nv_...

That's the only key you need — everything else is handled server-side.

Commands

Command	What it does
neruva-control-install	One-shot install (generates token, registers service, prints link URL)
neruva-control start	Run the daemon foreground (used by the background service)
neruva-control status	Show install + daemon health + version
neruva-control link	Print the link URL again (re-link or new browser)
neruva-control stop	Stop the daemon

Requirements

• Python ≥3.10
• [agent] extra: pyautogui + Pillow (skip if Code-only)
• A Neruva account at neruva.io

Privacy

• Daemon listens on 127.0.0.1 only — never on a network interface
• Sessions stream over loopback WebSocket; never leave your machine in transit
• Memory writes are encrypted and tied to your account
• Export or delete everything as a portable .neruva file anytime
• For Neruva Computer: screenshots are sent securely to advance the task and not retained beyond that turn
