TasteCode

A local desktop workspace for AI coding agents, with Design Mode built in.

Status: public beta (0.1.0-beta.6). TasteCode currently supports Windows x64 and macOS Apple Silicon. Expect beta rough edges and report them through GitHub Issues.

What TasteCode does

TasteCode puts multiple coding agents in one desktop app while keeping orchestration, project state, terminal access, diffs, checkpoints, and history local to your machine.

The public beta ships with:

• Codex
• Claude Code
• Grok
• provider-aware models, permissions, and session controls
• project and session search, rename, and pinning
• terminal, browser preview, attachments, git context, and readable diffs
• Design Mode for inspecting and editing web interfaces

Download

• Download for Windows x64 (.exe)
• Download for macOS Apple Silicon (.dmg)
• Release notes, checksums, and all versions

Requirements

• Windows 10/11 x64 or macOS on Apple Silicon
• at least one supported provider CLI installed and signed in
• Git for project checkpoints and worktree features

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Local-first security model

The local server owns state and orchestration. Provider processes run on your machine, credentials stay with the provider or operating-system credential store, and the renderer does not receive raw credentials. See SECURITY.md and rules/security.md.
