tAI, running in
your terminal.
tCode reads, writes, and edits files in your own projects, runs commands, and searches your codebase, right from a chat-style REPL, with your approval before anything changes.
Windows and Linux · Python 3.9–3.14
Built for the way you already work
No new editor, no browser tab. tCode sits in the terminal you already have open.
Reads before it writes
tCode looks at your actual code, how a function is called, what already tests it, before proposing a change, so edits fit the codebase instead of guessing at it.
Approval before anything changes
File edits and shell commands show you exactly what's about to happen and wait for a yes. Read-only actions, like searching or reading a file, don't interrupt you.
Every turn is a checkpoint
File changes are checkpointed automatically. If a turn goes somewhere you didn't want, /rewind undoes it.
One install, two ways to drive it
Work locally in your terminal, or trigger it remotely from the tAI web app.
Terminal
Install once, run it from any project folder.
pip install tcode-cli
tcode
Remote control
Pair a machine once from a tAI Remote Control chat, then trigger it from your browser without touching that machine's terminal again.
/pair <code>
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to run tCode?+
Python 3.9 through 3.14 on Windows or Linux, and a tAI account to sign in with. Install it with pip install tcode-cli, then run tcode from any project folder.
Is tCode free?+
tCode itself is free to install and run. It uses your existing tAI account, so usage follows whatever plan that account is already on, the same as using tAI in your browser.
What can it do without asking me first?+
Read-only actions, reading a file, searching your code, searching the web, run without interrupting you. Anything that changes your system, editing or writing a file, running a shell command, shows you exactly what it's about to do and waits for a yes.
Can I undo something it changed?+
Yes. tCode checkpoints your working tree before each turn that touches files. Run /rewind to undo the last turn's file changes, or /rewind 3 to undo the last three.
How is this different from using tAI in the browser?+
Same account, same models. tCode adds direct access to your local filesystem and shell, so it can actually read, edit, and run your project instead of you pasting code back and forth.
