It keeps the full loop in one place: code editing, Git, terminal, MCP tools, and AI collaboration. - **One workspace, not five tabs**: editor, Git, terminal, AI chat, and review flow stay in the same window. - **Human-in-the-loop by default**: review file edits and shell commands before they apply. - **Local-first architecture**: workspace data, chat history, and vector indexes stay on your machine. - **Bring your own models and tools**: configure provider credentials, choose models from the input box, and extend with MCP and Skills. --- ## Quick Start ### Download Grab the latest installer from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/tageecc/circle/releases): - **Windows**: `circle-{version}-setup.exe` - **macOS**: `circle-{version}-{arch}.dmg` - **Linux**: `circle-{version}.AppImage` / `.deb` ### First Run 1. Open **Settings → Models** and add the provider credentials you want to use. 2. Open the model picker in the chat input and choose a model for the current conversation. 3. Open a local folder, clone a repository, or describe an app on the welcome page to generate a project. 4. Review AI file edits and shell commands before they execute. ### Run from Source ```bash git clone https://github.com/tageecc/circle.git cd circle pnpm install pnpm dev ``` ### Build Packages ```bash pnpm build:win pnpm build:mac pnpm build:linux ``` --- ## Core Features ### AI-native coding workflow - Generate a new project from natural language on the welcome page - Stream AI conversations in the sidebar with tool calls and planning - Use semantic codebase search backed by local vector indexing - Choose models per conversation directly from the chat input - Get inline ghost completion with a dedicated completion model ### Safe file and command execution - Review AI file changes in a diff flow before keeping them - Approve, reject, or skip risky terminal commands - Track tool output and long-running execution directly in chat ### Full desktop development environment - Monaco editor with TypeScript/JavaScript language services - Integrated Git: status, commit, push, branch switching, diff, history, blame - Real terminal powered by `node-pty` - Problems panel for diagnostics and language-service feedback ### Extensible by design - MCP server integration for external tools - Skills mounted from user or workspace directories - Built-in tools for search, grep, file operations, terminal commands, and more ### Local-first and private - No required account system - No hosted backend required - Data and indexes stored locally with SQLite / LibSQL and `sqlite-vec` --- ## Tech Stack | Domain | Technology | | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Frontend | React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Radix/shadcn | | Desktop | Electron, electron-vite | | Editor | Monaco Editor | | AI | `@ai-sdk/provider` / `provider-utils`, native agent loops, multi-provider models, MCP | | Data | SQLite / LibSQL, Drizzle ORM, `sqlite-vec` | | Terminal | node-pty | --- ## Roadmap Near-term priorities: - Remote SSH workspace support - Multi-root workspace support - Language-level debugger integration - Better in-app help and documentation surfaces --- ## Contributing Contributions are welcome.
