A native workspace for projects, terminals, files, and the agent CLIs you already use.

Status

Ködade 1.4.14 is the first public macOS Apple Silicon release. It is Developer ID signed, Apple-notarized, Gatekeeper-verified, and includes its complete dependency-license bundle. Download it from the Releases page.

The first supported package targets Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13 or newer. Windows support is under active development; Linux is planned.

What Ködade does

Ködade gives agentic development work one place to live without replacing the tools underneath it:

• KödChat provides a chat-first interface for Claude Code and Codex, with model and access controls backed by their official CLIs.
• Real terminals run through your login shell with your existing PATH, authentication, configuration, and subscriptions.
• Projects, files, and editor keep the code under discussion visible and editable beside each agent session.
• KödMem and KödMCP preserve local project context in readable files and a searchable local index.
• KödHarness and KödSkills make agent instructions and skills visible and inspectable across supported CLIs.
• Browser and GitHub surfaces keep documentation, previews, repository context, and agent-driven browser work inside the workspace.

Ködade does not proxy model traffic, hold provider credentials, or bill for tokens. You install and authenticate the agent CLIs you want to use.

Development features

The source tree also contains experimental KödLocal, KödWhisper, KödWeb, KödSSH, and Remote work. These surfaces are intentionally absent from public release builds until each is ready to support. Build containment is enforced in both the frontend and native command layers.

Build from source

Prerequisites:

• Node.js 24+
• pnpm 11+
• Rust stable
• macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools

git clone https://github.com/Kodade/kodade.git
cd kodade
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm tauri dev

Useful checks:

pnpm check:version
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test
pnpm test:public
pnpm build:public

pnpm tauri build creates a full-feature development/QA package. pnpm tauri:build:public is the only public-release build and excludes the unfinished feature surfaces and payloads.

Architecture

Ködade is a Tauri 2 application with a React/TypeScript frontend and a focused Rust platform layer. Rust owns PTYs, filesystem/process boundaries, and native integration; product behavior stays in TypeScript. The editor uses CodeMirror 6 and terminals use xterm.js over portable-pty.

See PLAN.md for current direction and the feature documents under docs/ for deeper architecture and release details.
