  • Formats for 31 AI tools instead of locking you into one platform
  • Local-first with zero telemetry and no cloud sync unless explicitly configured
  • Runs fully offline with no per-token costs, unlike cloud coding tools that bill by the token
  • Safety-first with plan-gate and write-gate controls before any file is changed
  • Model-agnostic: same editor and safety controls whether using local or cloud models
  • Works entirely on your machine with no code leaving your device in local mode
  • Whole-codebase semantic awareness for accurate edits across multiple files
