Refact Wiki

Documentation for Refact — the open-source, local-first agentic coding engine. A single refact binary runs a resident daemon, TUI, in-browser GUI, and per-project workers; the React GUI and IDE plugins are thin clients of that daemon.

Refact runs a local Rust engine from your IDE and connects only to the providers, local runtimes, and integrations you configure. Use the sidebar, or start below.
