BUILT FOR REAL WORK, NOT JUST CHAT - Rich streaming output: diffs, code blocks, to-do plans, and command results rendered natively - Multiple concurrent sessions with a live status carousel on your Lock Screen - Notifications when a session finishes, needs input, or hits an error — even if the app was force-quit - Scheduled runs that start on their own - Voice input with on-device transcription — dictate a task, hands-free PRIVATE BY DESIGN - End-to-end encrypted between your device and your Mac - Connects directly over your local network at home, or securely relayed when you are away - LAN-only mode keeps everything on your network with no cloud at all - No account required to pair with your own machine YOUR MACHINE, YOUR RULES The agent runs where your code lives.
