Yours to command
No approval nags and no hosted refusal layer — it runs the tools and commands you give it, with max reasoning always on. Use it on systems you own or are authorized to test.
Your keys, your cost
Bring your own DeepSeek + Tavily keys. DeepSeek runs ~$0.44/$0.87 per Mtok; Tavily is free on the free tier. Heavy daily use stays under $50/mo.
Built for long horizons
Phased planning, a living TODO list, repo-wide multi-file refactors, and self-verification against real tests — see the refactor session below.
Claude Code UX
An Ink terminal UI with ⏺ / ⎿ rendering, Shift+Tab permission modes, slash commands, and an always-on adversarial verifier — no login, no account.
