Features
Run coding agents the right way
Run agents locally, in worktrees, in background - without touching main branch.
- Git Worktree Isolation - Each chat session runs in its own isolated worktree
- Background Execution - Run agents in background while you continue working
- Local-first - All code stays on your machine, no cloud sync required
- Branch Safety - Never accidentally commit to main branch
- Shared Terminals - Share terminal sessions across local-mode workspaces
UI that finally respects your code
Cursor-like UI with diff previews, built-in git client, and the ability to see changes before they land.
- Diff Previews - See exactly what changes the agent is making in real-time
- Built-in Git Client - Stage, commit, push to GitHub, and manage branches without leaving the app
- Git Activity Badges - See git operations directly on agent messages
- Rollback - Roll back changes from any user message bubble
- Real-time Tool Execution - See bash commands, file edits, and web searches as they happen
- File Viewer - File preview with Cmd+P search, syntax highlighting, and image viewer
- Chat Forking - Fork a sub-chat from any assistant message to explore alternatives
- Chat Export - Export conversations for sharing or archival
- File Mentions - Reference files directly in chat with @ mentions

Plan mode that actually helps you think
The agent asks clarifying questions, builds structured plans, and shows clean markdown preview - all before execution.
- Clarifying Questions - The agent asks what it needs to know before starting
- Structured Plans - See step-by-step breakdown of what will happen
- Clean Markdown Preview - Review plans in readable format
- Review Before Execution - Approve or modify the plan before the agent acts

- Cloud Sandboxes - Every background session runs in an isolated cloud environment

Automations that work while you sleep
Trigger agents from GitHub, Linear, Slack, or manually from git events. Auto-review PRs, fix CI failures, and complete tasks - all configurable.
- @1code Triggers - Tag @1code in GitHub, Linear, or Slack to start agents
- Git Event Triggers - Run automations on push, PR, or any git event
- Conditions & Filters - Control when automations fire
- Execution Timeline - Visual history of past runs

Automations require a Pro or Max subscription. Learn more at 1code.dev/agents/async.
API
Run coding agents programmatically. Point at a repo, give it a task - the agent runs in a sandbox and delivers a PR.
curl -X POST https://1code.dev/api/v1/tasks \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"repository": "https://github.com/your-org/your-repo",
"prompt": "Fix the failing CI tests"
}'
- Remote Sandboxes - Isolated cloud environment, repo cloned, dependencies installed
- Git & PR Integration - Agent commits, pushes branches, opens PRs automatically
- Async Execution - Fire and forget, poll for status or get notified
- Follow-up Messages - Send additional instructions to a running task
