Key features
  • Specification Management: Manage connected requirements, data entities, APIs, interfaces, wireframes, and test cases in a versioned product model with traceable relations and branch-aware revisions
  • Change Management: Define each product change through a Change Request that connects goal, affected specifications, project branch, implementation impact, and linked issue
  • Architecture & Software Units Blueprints: Define subsystem architecture and software unit blueprints with implementation rules, responsibilities, dependencies, and file boundaries linked to product sp
  • AI Assistants: AI Analyst, AI Test Designer, AI Architect, and AI Product Expert for refining specifications, designing tests, developing architecture, and reviewing implementation
  • MCP for AI Coding Agents: Give coding agents branch-aware specifications, architecture guidance, software units, file traces, and Change Request context through MCP
  • Specification and Code Alignment Verification: Check that code matches specifications and follows architecture rules as the system evolves
  • Test Management: Organize test cases, test runs, execution, and result history
  • MCP for QA Agents: Give QA agents prepared test runs, cases, steps, and expected outcomes through MCP to record execution results
  • Monaco code editor with VS Code-inspired workspace
  • Local AI inference via Ollama or LM Studio
  • OpenAI-compatible server support
  • Plan mode with approval flow for write operations
  • Vision and reasoning model support
  • Integrated terminal with shell command execution
  • 7.11 MB download using system WebView
  • Project memory and skills for context management
  • Web search and guarded page fetching
  • 100% local by default with zero telemetry
What makes it different
  • Preserves product context across tasks, agents, and code changes through a structured, verified product model
  • Reduces handoffs and coordination by delegating whole features with connected specifications and implementation scope
  • Prevents architecture drift by connecting implementation with subsystem architecture rules, unit guidelines, and component responsibilities
  • Built for complex products where a single feature touches connected data, APIs, interfaces, and business rules across multiple repositories and systems
  • Keeps product model current as specifications and implementation change using AI assistance and team review
  • Complete privacy with local models and zero telemetry
  • Private local-first alternative to Cursor
  • Any model support via Ollama or OpenAI-compatible servers
