About the project

Local-first desktop workspace for AI coding agents: opens local projects, connects any model, and extends via plugins, MCP, and Skills. Sessions and files stay on your machine, with privileged actions gated by a permission layer.

Useful for

Open a local repository and run agent sessions with diff review
Connect your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint or local model instead of a hosted provider
Delegate codebase exploration to background Subagents in separate contexts
