The desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux — work on a folder on your own computer, follow every step, and approve what matters in a window.

On this page

The desktop app lets me work on a folder on your own computer. You describe what you want; I read the code, change it, run your checks and show every step. Nothing is committed, pushed or deleted without you.

YOUR COMPUTER YSRA You ask a question, or a change I plan the work what to read, what to change Your folder I read, edit and run your checks here I work out the next step from what I read, nothing more The change stays in your folder not committed, not pushed I review the result against what you asked 1 your request 2 steps to carry out 3 what I read 4 5 the result
I plan and review; the reading, editing and running happen in your folder, and the change stays there until you decide.

A finished thread: stretches of work with notes between them

A thread: what you asked, what I did, and the finished change.

The app at a glance#

The sidebar has five modes:

Working with me#

Your changes#

Beyond this folder#

What I promise on your computer#

  • I work only in the folder you opened.
  • Commands run contained to that folder; anything that reaches outside your computer asks first, every time.
  • Your secret files are never read.
  • Undo is exact.

The details are in Security on your machines, on the Platform tab.
