ledger entry · observed by @whysanesanders

A Codex-style workspace built around open-weight models, with agents that write code, manage a Kanban board, and review PRs. The free tier is genuinely usable with local Ollama, and paid tiers add concurrent cloud models. Worth a look if you want an agentic IDE that does not default to OpenAI.

Strengths

  • Native desktop workspace built around open-weight models.
  • Free tier is genuinely usable with local Ollama.
  • Agents handle coding, Kanban, and PR review in one place.

Known limitations

  • Proprietary app; no public source repository yet.
  • Cloud plans require an account and ongoing payment; local-only mode needs a capable machine.
  • Newer than the established agentic IDEs, so ecosystem and stability are unproven.

Use it when

  • Teams that want an agentic IDE defaulting to open weights, not OpenAI.
  • Coding with local Ollama and optional cloud model fallback.

Skip it when

  • You need a mature plugin ecosystem and proven stability.
  • Your machine cannot run local models comfortably.
  • Full source transparency is required because the app is proprietary.
