Local-first agentic dev environment

Ship code with your crew.

Write a brief. A crew of AI agents plans, builds, reviews and tests it on your machine — then hands you a pull request. Your code never leaves. You merge.

How it works

From brief to merged PR.

Describe what you want. The crew does the work. You review and merge — nothing lands without your say-so.

Write a brief

Describe what you want in plain language — a feature, a fix, a refactor. No prompt engineering.

The crew works

A Director plans and assigns; Scout, Builder, Reviewer and Tester run in parallel — real git worktrees, all on your machine.

Review the PR

You get a real pull request with a clean summary and checklist. Read it like any teammate's.

You approve & merge

Nothing lands until you say so. One click and it's on your branch — you're always the one who ships.

Why Korden

Not a chat box. Not a cloud box.

One chat agent waits on you. Cloud agents take your code off your machine and hide the work. Korden runs a real crew right where you code — you watch every move, nothing ever leaves your machine, and you merge real PRs.

A single chat agent You drive, it suggests
  • One agent, one task at a time
  • You copy code in and out by hand
  • A wall of chat to scroll
  • Snippets you wire up yourself
  • Its model, its limits, its bill
Cloud agents Runs in someone else's cloud
  • One agent, boxed in a sandbox
  • Your code is uploaded to their servers
  • A black box you can't watch
  • A diff you just have to trust
  • Metered — you pay per task

  • Your model — Claude, your key, or local
…and memory that persists across every session.
Mission control

AI-written code, under control.

Every brief, run, diff and decision lands in one place — so you always know what's running, who owns it, what changed, and what needs you next.

A board that runs itself

Work moves as the crew works — brief to build to review to done. Drag a card, or let the Director route it.

Approvals, not surprises

Nothing merges without you. Every change arrives as a PR with review, tests and diff — one place to say yes.

Watch every agent work

Live terminals, not a black box. See what each agent is doing right now — and step in whenever you want.

Memory that compounds

Conventions, traps and decisions persist across sessions — every future run starts smarter than the last.

Your canvas

One terminal, or a whole wall.

Tile the screen however you think — a 2×2, a column of tall panes, a row of wide ones, a full wall — with a different model running in each. Every pane a real shell, on your machine.

One pane to a full wall Tall columns, wide rows Any frontier model A real shell in every pane

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is my code uploaded anywhere?
No. Korden runs on your machine — repos, terminals, and crew worktrees are all local. Nothing is sent to our servers unless you explicitly turn on Cloud sync.
Do I need a paid Claude plan, an API key, or a separate AI bill?
Your choice — connect Korden to a Claude login, your own API key, or a local model. There's no second bill from us and no per-token metering on our end: you bring the model, Korden brings the crew.
What platforms are supported?
All three: Windows 10 & 11 (64-bit), macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), and Linux (x86_64 — AppImage or .deb). Every build is available today with automatic updates.
Windows shows an “unknown publisher” warning — is it safe?
Yes. The builds aren't code-signed yet, so the OS shows a one-time caution on first run. On Windows, click More info → Run anyway; on macOS, right-click the app and choose Open. Signed builds are on the way, which will remove the prompt entirely.
What does a "crew" actually do?
A Director plans the work and routes it to specialized agents — Scout, Builder, Reviewer, Tester — working in parallel on real git worktrees. They open a pull request; you review and merge. Nothing lands without your approval.
