The first public release of Traycer Desktop, the native application that brings Traycer's AI pair-programming workflow to your machine. Sign in, point it at a repository, and delegate engineering work to coding agents in a local-first workspace.
Traycer Desktop bundles the Traycer CLI and provisions the local Traycer Host automatically, so there is nothing else to install or configure.
Overview
Traycer organizes work into Tasks. A Task is a long-lived workspace bound to a repository where you plan, chat with agents, run terminal agents, review diffs, and keep the full history of a piece of work in one place. Everything is stored locally on your machine.
Features
Coding agents, your choice. Connect Claude (Claude Code), OpenAI Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or Traycer Inference, and switch per conversation without restarting. Configure providers and credentials in Settings > Providers. On supported models you can set reasoning effort and an optional Fast service tier.
Chats. Hold persistent conversations with an agent, run several in parallel, and track accumulated changes per conversation. Drafts save automatically and can be promoted into a Task.
Terminal agents. Launch terminal-based agents inside a Task on a full xterm terminal with color, scrollback, and theming. Sessions persist across host restarts.
Plan and review. Review proposed changes as side-by-side git diffs, open project files, and leave comment threads on specific lines.
Worktrees. Traycer creates isolated git worktrees for agent work so your main checkout stays clean. Manage them in Settings > Worktrees.
Multiple machines. Choose the machine a chat or terminal runs on. Each tab stays bound to its host for its lifetime.
Native desktop. System tray with recent Tasks, native notifications, a command palette (Cmd/Ctrl+K), customizable keybindings, multiple windows, the traycer:// deep-link scheme, and light, dark, and system themes.
Sign in once. Secure browser-based (PKCE) sign-in, shared automatically with the bundled CLI. Sessions persist across restarts and refresh automatically.
Background updates. Traycer checks for updates, downloads them in the background, and installs them on quit, using signed release artifacts.
