ThecontextlayerforAI.
A workspace where your whole team and every AI agent share the same conversation history. No one starts from scratch. No context ever gets lost. Local-first and decentralized. Your code and data stays yours.
Open Source · Decentralized · Free Forever
First launch tip
Windows: SmartScreen may show a "Windows protected your PC" prompt — click More info → Run anyway.
Built decentralized so we can't see your work.
Code Collab is an open-source desktop app, not a cloud service. Your codebase, your conversations, and your model keys stay on your machines — under your control. We built it that way on purpose.
- 01
Your code never leaves your machine.
Code Collab runs locally. Files, diffs, and history live on your devices and in your own repository — not on our servers. We don't host it. We can't read it.
- 02
Your sign-ins and keys stay yours.
Sign in with the providers you already use, or bring your own keys — Codex, Claude, Copilot, anything. Tokens and keys are stored on your device and sent directly to the model provider. They never pass through us.
- 03
Peer-to-peer by design.
Your team syncs through your repo and an end-to-end encrypted channel between teammates. There is no central Code Collab database holding your work, your prompts, your sign-ins, or your keys.
- 04
Open source. Verifiable.
Every line of the client is on GitHub under MIT. You don't have to take our word for it — read the code, audit the network calls, run your own build.
What changes the moment you open it.
- 01
One conversation. Everyone in it.
Your teammate prompts an agent on their laptop. You open the project, see all the work they just did, and send the next message — same message thread, same context. No catching up. No re-explaining. You just pick up where they left off.
- 02
GitHub stays in sync. On its own.
Every change a person or agent makes is committed and pushed automatically. No buttons. Nothing to remember. Your repo is always the truth.
- 03
Zoom in without losing the picture.
Break the project into tasks — each its own conversation. Your teammate was just in that thread. You open it and send the next message.
- 04
Use any model. They all listen.
Codex, Claude, Copilot, whatever comes next — point them at the project and they pick up the thread. Switch models mid-task; the context doesn’t reset.
Most AI tools forget. Code Collab remembers.
The same project, viewed two ways.
AI without context.
- Every session starts from zero.
- Each teammate runs their own thread, in their own window.
- Switching models means re-explaining everything.
- Someone has to remember to commit and push.
AI with the same context as your team.
- Pick up the conversation where anyone left off.
- One thread. Your team and every agent in it.
- Swap models mid-task — the context carries over.
- GitHub stays in sync automatically. No buttons.
Infrastructure, not a product.
A shared context layer should belong to everyone. Code Collab is open source and free — forever. Bring your own AI keys. We never sit between you and your model.
Local-first. Audit-ready. Yours to fork.
Your project, your repo, your AI calls — all on your machine. We don't run a server. There's nothing to subscribe to, nothing for us to see.
