📂

Dual Disk Management

Virtual disk for uploads, local disk for server filesystem — both with list and split views.

🔖

Tag Tree

Cross-directory topic organization, sub-tags, batch tagging; tag-view delete only removes references.

🎬

Media Preview

Open images, video, and audio online; inspect and resume video, use audio play modes, or rotate/crop/scale/save images.

✂️
NEW

Video Editing Studio

Trim multiple ranges, change speed, manage tracks, insert clips from other videos, and compose everything into a new MP4.

📡

Mobile LAN Discovery

Mobile apps scan for webcool servers on the same Wi-Fi — one-tap connect, no manual IP entry.

📦

Offline Cache

Mobile apps can cache remote files and prefer local cache for browsing and preview in manual offline mode, so long trips still have music and videos without a connection.

✳️

RECENTLY ADDED · AI WORKSPACE

From First Idea to Project Delivery, Bring AI into the Workflow

The general AI assistant handles conversation, analysis, and creation. The coding agent understands projects, plans tasks, proposes reviewable changes, and moves work through validation. You choose the model service while webcool enforces the data boundary.

✳
AI ASSISTANT

Conversations, Attachments & Visual Answers

Ask questions, write, organize material, or explore ideas in dedicated conversations. Drop in text files and images, switch configured models, see token and latency metrics, and stop generation at any time.

  • Recent chats and multi-turn context, with conversation export to your private virtual disk
  • Markdown, code, SVG, Mermaid diagrams, and bar / line / pie charts
  • Zoom, maximize, or fullscreen graphics and export source, SVG, or PNG
⌘
AI CODING AGENT

Understand, Plan, Change & Validate

Create a cross-platform project with the wizard or import an existing Git repository from your virtual disk. The agent navigates with directory tools, search, source outlines, and an incremental index while progressing in a private draft worktree.

  • Quick, standard, and large-project modes with module maps, task DAGs, and acceptance criteria
  • Creates, edits, deletes, and moves become visible diffs and pending reviews
  • Fixed build and test commands run in an isolated sandbox after explicit approval
Multiple model protocolsOpenAI ResponsesOpenAI ChatAnthropicGeminiOllamaDeepSeek / Kimi
01

Keys stay server-sideAPI keys use AES-256-GCM encryption and never return to the browser or enter logs.

02

Strict workspace isolationThe agent only reaches the selected project; sensitive files and internal directories stay hidden.

03

Review before writeThe model works in a private draft, and diffs await approval before formal files change.

04

Controlled executionNo arbitrary shell; builds and tests use admin-enabled fixed commands and resource limits.

AI features must be enabled by an administrator and require a configured model service. Remote model endpoints must use HTTPS; provider usage limits and charges apply separately.

RECENTLY ADDED · EMAIL CLIENT

Receive, Read, Compose, and Organize in Your Own Workspace

Bring multiple email accounts into one interface. Message indexes, original EML files, and account settings remain isolated per user on your server, with everyday delivery, search, filing, and recovery built into webcool.

01

Accounts & Standard Protocols

Use POP3 / IMAP for retrieval and SMTP for delivery, with a password, app password, or Gmail OAuth2. Configure the default account, signature, and Reply-To separately.

IMAPPOP3SMTPOAuth2
02

Complete Composition & Delivery

Write rich-text or plain-text mail with Cc, Bcc, inline images, and local or virtual-disk attachments. Auto-saved drafts, scheduled delivery, and a persistent outbox keep working after the page closes.

03

Organization, Contacts & Search

Manage folders, categories, rules, contacts, and groups. Search by sender, subject, body, attachment, date, and more, then save searches you use often.

04

Import, Export & Recovery

Import EML, export original messages, package selections as ZIP, or back up the full mailbox. Validate backups before restore and retain historical versions for rollback.

Privacy and Security by Default

Passwords and tokens use AES-256-GCM encryption. Message HTML is sanitized and shown in a sandbox, with remote images blocked by default. Each user's mailbox and original EML files remain isolated from ordinary file and AI workspaces.

Document Workspace

Write and Collaborate Without Leaving Your File Library

From plain text and Markdown to documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, create, preview, edit, and save in the browser. Content stays on your virtual disk or server-local storage.

ONLINE DOCUMENT EDITING

Writing, Code, and Live Preview

Auto-saved

Create TXT, Markdown, HTML, XML, JSON, plus CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C/C++, Java, Go, Rust, SQL, and other source files directly in a folder.

  • Enhanced Monaco editor with syntax highlighting and Vim mode
  • Resizable side-by-side editing and preview for Markdown / HTML
  • Rich-text and source modes for HTML, with configurable auto-save delay
  • UTF-8, GBK, GB18030, Big5, Shift_JIS, UTF-16, and more charsets
COLLABORATIVE OFFICE EDITINGENTERPRISE

Edit the Same Office File Together

webcool connects securely to a self-hosted or separate Collabora Online deployment through WOPI, bringing authorized users into the same browser editing session.

  • DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, and ODP support
  • Create and launch the editor from virtual or server-local disks
  • webcool continues to enforce account identity, file locks, and folder access
  • Short-lived WOPI tokens and shared document locks prevent conflicting moves or deletion

Enterprise application and implementation service: Collaborative Office editing requires a separate Collabora Online deployment, integration, and commissioning, so paid implementation services are available on request. For deployment enquiries, email whouseit@126.com. A public webcool URL is also required; HTTPS is recommended for both services in production. The editable file size limit is server-configurable.

Media Creation & Restoration

Record, Capture, Edit, and Compose in One Place

Capture your screen in the browser and continue editing as soon as the recording reaches your private library. Videos and images on virtual or server-local disks open in place; server-side processing keeps every source intact.

SCREEN RECORDING REC

Turn an On-Screen Process into Editable Video

Start screen sharing and recording from the browser—no separate recorder required. Capture product demos, lessons, bug reproductions, or project updates; save the result to storage you control, then move straight into editing and composition.

1Choose a screen, window, or tab 2Monitor recording state and time 3Save, edit, and compose
VIDEO EDITOR MP4

Edit Multiple Clips into One Complete Video

Choose in/out points while previewing, insert selected ranges from other videos at multiple positions, then unify picture, speed, sound, and track settings—ideal for combining recordings, intros, outros, and supporting footage.

  • Edit: multi-range trim, 0.5×–4× speed, volume and mute
  • Compose: insert multiple clips with independent positions and ranges
  • Tracks: keep, remove or replace audio/subtitles; export originals
  • Frame: rotate, flip, and crop to 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1
  • Assets: capture a frame or export keyframes, with sharpen/AI upscale
PHOTO RESTORATION AI

Make Blurry, Low-Resolution, or Damaged Photos Useful Again

Choose anything from light adjustments to deeper AI restoration. Real-ESRGAN upscales, Restormer handles motion/defocus blur, and CodeFormer restores faces.

  • Clarity: sharpen, deblur, denoise, and AI upscale at 2× or 4×
  • Portraits: face restoration, main-face priority, white-mask reconstruction
  • Defects: automatic red-eye removal and selected-area watermark repair
  • Control: tune brightness, fidelity, model, and compute unit
