What is Tidebreak?

Tidebreak is an Apache-2.0, local-first AI coding tool and agent workspace.
Code mode takes a Git repository from task prompt to reviewed pull request.
Work mode turns documents and folders into versioned spreadsheets,
presentations, reports, charts, and apps.

Tidebreak does not replace the coding agents or models you already use. It runs
Claude Code, Codex CLI, opencode, and Grok CLI inside durable workspaces, then
adds worktree isolation, agent control, diffs, terminals, browser testing,
source control, continuous integration (CI), reviews, and delivery.

You choose the model, tools, files, repository, and execution boundary. Bring a
ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription, an API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google,
xAI, Fireworks, Together, or OpenRouter, a local Ollama model, or another
OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Switch models without restarting the conversation.

The desktop runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux without a Tidebreak account.
Provider credentials stay in the operating system's credential store. Chats,
outputs, code sessions, and workspace metadata stay in your local Tidebreak
profile unless you connect an external service.
