Code in context

Ask questions about a coding project, review file changes, and work with its code in one place.

Just have a conversation

Ask questions, discuss text or images you attach, and keep a separate chat history.

Turn a brief into files

Choose a folder, describe what you need, and follow the task through to its finished files.

Bring your own models

Connect an AI service or an existing local model server. Start with one provider and one model.

Choose the engine

Start with pi, the default background program that manages conversations and tools. More options are available later.

Inspect and recover

Check what the agent did, review permission requests, and restore eligible files from saved checkpoints.

Read this before installing ​

taucode is in early development. macOS has the broadest live verification; Windows has an experimental installer and build/startup checks. Linux and iOS need more validation. The builds and platform status page explains the current evidence and limitations.

The app is built on CodexMonitor. It uses your provider credentials and can make real file, shell, browser, or desktop changes according to the features and permissions you enable. Keep backups and read the privacy and trust guide.
