Your encryption keys never leave your device, and all data is encrypted before transmission. Built by Bay Area engineers who believe the best tools come from scratching your own itch. We needed a way to securely check on our AI coding assistant while away from our desks - so we built it and shared it with the community. Your code. Your privacy.
