Local-first AI development workbench

Keep project and context aligned.

Fsidecar helps builders keep project files, recent changes, decisions, and AI-assisted work connected — so every prompt starts closer to the real shape of the project.

Built for ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and future local AI coding workflows.

What is Fsidecar?

Think of Fsidecar as a project alignment layer that sits beside your AI coding tools. It does not replace ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, or Copilot. It helps keep them pointed at the right project truth.

It keeps important project context, focused files, recent work, and decisions easier to carry into your next AI coding session.
It helps reduce repeated re-explaining by making the current project state easier to surface before you ask for help.
It supports safer review workflows by keeping proposed changes staged and visible before files are modified.
It is designed local-first, so core project awareness does not depend on handing your repo to a cloud platform.

AI coding gets messy when context drifts.

The problem is not that AI cannot write code. The problem is that it loses the real shape of your project, misses recent changes, guesses at file relationships, and burns your time re-explaining the same work.

Context drift

Stop re-orienting every session

Fsidecar keeps project state, recent work, and focused files visible so your next prompt starts closer to reality.

Safe review

Preview before files change

Inspect source ranges, proposed helper drafts, and future-state previews before committing to edits.

Local-first

Your project stays on your machine

Fsidecar is designed around local project awareness, deterministic workflows, and user-controlled execution.

A workbench for aligned AI-assisted development.

Fsidecar is not just memory. It is a project alignment layer: capture what matters, focus the right files, guide the next step, and stage safer code changes.

Project-aware Work Focus with active files, recent changes, and viewer context.
Guided refactor workflow: Candidate Review → Source Preview → Extraction Preview → Apply Plan.
Preview sandbox for proposed future files without modifying your repo.
Local memory and project context designed to reduce repeated explanation.
Built for developers using ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, or other AI coding tools.

Built carefully, with safety before automation.

Fsidecar is moving toward stronger execution workflows, but the rule is simple: preview first, verify changes, and keep the user in control.

Now

Project alignment

Project awareness, Work Focus, local memory, recent change context, guided review, and preview-first refactor workflows.

Next

Security and hardening

License activation, founder download access, execution hardening, structure mapping, and stronger verification receipts.

Future

Governed execution

Local AI integration, safer project execution loops, deeper diagnosis, and governed workflows that scale beyond simple code edits.

Built publicly with real builder feedback.

Fsidecar is being shaped around actual AI-assisted development pain: context drift, unsafe edits, broken refactors, forgotten decisions, and repeated project re-explanation.

Early access

Founding Builder Access

$19
one-time founding access during stabilization

Early supporters get beta access, direct influence on the roadmap, future updates during development, and permanent access to Fsidecar at no additional cost. Founding builders are helping shape the platform and will never need to buy in again later.

  • Windows beta available first
  • Offline-capable workflows
  • No cloud dependency for core features
  • Designed for real AI-assisted development workflows
Buy once. Keep founder access. Founder pricing is temporary while Fsidecar is in active development. Stripe is the primary checkout. PayPal is available as a backup. Founders will use the download portal for builds and updates as packaging is finalized.
Payment is handled by Stripe or PayPal. Fsidecar download access will be distributed through the founder download portal once the packaged alpha is ready.
Current focus

What early users should expect

This is an early product for builders who want a practical local AI workflow assistant now, not a polished enterprise suite later.

Useful today for project context, file focus, and guided preview workflows.
Execution/refactor flows are being hardened carefully and intentionally.
Feedback from early users will shape the public release.

Join the builder loop.

Fsidecar is early, so the best feedback comes from people actually building with AI tools and hitting the messy parts in real projects.
