Give your local model a faster way to code. Give SIDRA OS a gateway to act.
Imagine running a powerful AI model on your own machine, without forcing it through a heavy stack before it can do useful work. SCODE is the lightweight coding gateway built for that experience: fast, local, direct — and dramatically more capable when SIDRA OS is beside it.
One local model. One fast CLI. Your entire project within reach.
Open a project. Start SCODE. Talk to the model you already own or run locally. Let it understand the code, use its coding tools, make changes, and keep moving — without turning every request into a long trip through unnecessary layers.
SCODE is for people who want the intelligence of modern local models without making the interface the bottleneck. The model should spend its time thinking about your work, not fighting the software wrapped around it.
We did not start by adding more. We started by removing what got in the way.
SCODE was built from the ZCode foundation, then reshaped around a simple idea: a local coding model should feel immediate.
We removed layers that added overhead to the local-model loop and kept the parts that matter for real coding work. Instead of building another intelligence stack around the model, SCODE gives the model a shorter route to the job.
The result is not “more AI around your AI.” It is a focused gateway designed to let the model do what you chose it for: think, code, use tools, and return the result.
SCODE is the gateway. SIDRA OS turns the model into a worker on your machine.
This is where the idea becomes much bigger than a coding CLI. Connect SCODE to SIDRA OS and the same model can move from answering you to carrying out authorized work across the device.
Think about the difference: the model can understand the task in SCODE, then SIDRA OS can give that session access to the real workspace, files, execution, browser, computer control, project memory, verification, channels, and orchestration.
A fast local coding brain.
Use your own local model for focused coding work with a thin CLI around it.
Now give that brain hands.
Move beyond the terminal and let the authorized SIDRA tool layer carry the work across your machine.
Ask for a feature. Let the model reason about it. Let SIDRA OS reach the project, run the workflow, inspect the result, work through the browser or supported desktop controls, and carry project context forward.

There is no AI model hidden inside the download. Start fresh, connect the local runtime you want, choose the model that fits your hardware, and make SCODE yours.
On Apple Silicon, SCODE can take advantage of local MLX workflows. It can also work with compatible local runtimes such as Ollama. The goal stays the same: keep the model close and keep the path around it light.
Your local model is already powerful. Give it a faster door to the work.
SCODE is free and open source. One npm command installs the same universal v1.0.2 package on macOS, Windows, or Linux. No standalone EXE and no platform-specific download flow.
