Pragma
v0.7.1Named agents, worktrees and local dictation

The native IDE where agents write code

Run coding agents side by side, each in its own git worktree, then review every change in a real editor with a real terminal. Built with Rust and Tauri. Free, open source, bring your own key.

Most AI editors bolt a chat onto a browser tab. Pragma starts from a native window, a real terminal and your own keys, then lets agents work inside it, where you can watch, steer and review them.

Agents workspace

Built for many agents at once

Sessions

Agents side by side

Arrange several sessions in panes, steer a running one and queue the next message while it works.

Git

One worktree per session

Writing sessions get their own git worktree, so parallel agents never step on each other or on main.

Review

Review beside the session

Read the focused session's diff right next to the conversation, then merge it or send it back with a note.

Agents

Named agents with memory

Give an agent a brief, a memory and approved folders. Reuse workspace skills across sessions.

Voice

Dictate locally

Parakeet V3 runs on your machine with live text and hold to dictate. Nothing leaves your device.

Browser

A browser beside the session

Open a browser pane next to a session and let the agent check the page it just built.

One window, two modes

An editor when you want one. Agents when you do not.

Agents mode

Sessions, named agents and local tasks in one sidebar. Start a thread from the home screen and it runs in its own pane.

Editor mode

CodeMirror 6 with language servers, Vim mode, a Git panel and an xterm terminal with tabs and splits.

Switch with one click

Both modes share the same folder, so you can jump from a session into the file it just changed.
