* improvement(workflow): zero-render drag-resize for panel, terminal, and output panel Port the sidebar's pointer-capture + rAF + CSS-variable drag pattern to use-panel-resize, use-terminal-resize, and use-output-panel-resize so a drag writes only --panel-width/--terminal-height/--output-panel-width per frame and commits to Zustand (one re-render + one localStorage write) on pointerup. Previously every mousemove dispatched a store set, re-rendering the whole always-mounted Panel tree (Chat/Editor/Toolbar) and the terminal, plus a persist localStorage write per move. Also drop the Panel's unused panelWidth subscription and drive the output panel width via a CSS variable instead of React state. * improvement(workflow): shared useDragResize hook + review fixes Extract the drag mechanism into a shared useDragResize hook (pointer capture, rAF-aligned apply, commit-on-release) consumed by the panel, terminal, and output-panel resize hooks. Fixes from adversarial review: commit the last computed value instead of reading the CSS var back (a fast single-frame flick could be lost to a cancelled rAF, and a pre-rehydration read returned '' -> NaN), floor the panel/terminal max clamp at the minimum so narrow viewports can't invert the clamp, guard pointerup/pointercancel by pointerId so a second touch pointer can't kill the drag, and capture the terminal rect once on drag start instead of per-frame getBoundingClientRect. Remove the now-dead isResizing store state and centralize CONTENT_WINDOW_GAP in stores/constants. * fix(workflow): compute drag value rAF-aligned from the latest pointer event Run compute inside the rAF (before the CSS-var write, so any layout read hits clean layout at most once per frame) and derive the final value from the latest pointer event on release. The output-panel hook now captures the terminal element on drag start and re-reads its rect per frame, so the clamp stays correct when the terminal resizes mid-drag and the live width can never exceed the current max. * fix(terminal): clamp output panel against the live CSS-var width The ResizeObserver clamp compared the persisted store width, which is intentionally stale during a drag; a terminal shrink mid-drag could overwrite the live width with a stale store value. Compare against the live --output-panel-width variable (store as pre-write fallback) so the clamp converges with the drag instead of fighting it.
A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted
npx simstudio
Docker must be installed and running. Use -p, --port <port> to run Sim on a different port, or --no-pull to skip pulling the latest Docker images.
Capabilities
- Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
- Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
- Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
- Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
- Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity
One workspace, every surface
Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.
Tables — a database, built in |
Files — one store for your team and every agent |
Knowledge — your agents' memory |
Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule |
Self-hosting
Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.
Manual Setup
Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector
- Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare # Set up pre-commit hooks
- Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17
Or install manually via the pgvector guide.
- Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
- Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
- Start development servers:
bun run dev:full # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server
Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).
Chat API Keys
Chat is a Sim-managed service. To use Chat on a self-hosted instance:
- Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Chat keys and generate a Chat API key
- Set
COPILOT_API_KEYenvironment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
