Merciful.app Beta

Merciful for ChromeOS

Merciful on your Chromebook.

Install the web app in its own window, with chat, editable files and HTML previews. Or use the Chrome extension for a separate workspace tab.

Choose your preferred client below.

Beta · feedback welcome. Some workflows are still rough. Use Feedback in the app or report an issue here.

Get started.

  1. Open the web app in Chrome.
  2. Use the install icon in the address bar, or the browser menu’s install option.
  3. Launch Merciful from your Chromebook launcher.

Hosted chat needs a network connection. Local file tools, syntax checking and formatting work offline after the web app has loaded and cached its assets. Files live in this browser’s storage; the extension has separate files, and signing in does not synchronize them. Keep copies before clearing browser data.

  • Chat and a file explorer in one workspace, with clickable file paths in replies.
  • Edit text files, save changes, and preview HTML with unsaved CSS and JavaScript files. Dirty tabs offer Save, Discard or Cancel when closed.
  • Check syntax and format HTML, JavaScript, JSON and CSS. Formatting in the editor stays a draft until you save.
  • More reliable agent commands: multiline exec blocks, literal replacements, syntax diagnostics and clearer command results.
  • Simpler Settings: the shell/filesystem mode selectors and per-tier backend overrides are hidden. BYOM provider settings remain available for beta testing.
  • Import supported text/code files into local folders without overwriting existing names. Browser clients can export the current file, including an unsaved draft.
  • Token exhaustion during agent follow-ups can continue in Economy without rerunning completed file commands. Other request limits remain visible.
  • Downloaded chat transcripts include available tool receipts and distinguish proposed commands from recorded execution.
  • Files stay in the current client’s browser storage; signing in does not sync local workspace files between clients.
  • Bundled local file tools, syntax checks and formatting work offline. Hosted chat and online services need a connection.
