Product Overview
The development workspace built around the whole workflow
Zide brings code, git, issues, pull requests, CI, terminals, projects, and AI agents into one native desktop workspace. Use your own model subscriptions, bring your own keys, run local models where supported, or use included credits. Work across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket without losing context every time you switch tools.
For developers who want one connected workflow, not more disconnected tools.

Why Zide
Development has changed. The workflow hasn’t.
Modern software development is too fragmented. Developers work across issue trackers, editors, terminals, git clients, CI dashboards, pull requests, documentation, and now multiple AI assistants. Each tool may be useful on its own, but together they create a messy and disconnected workflow.
AI makes this fragmentation even more apparent. As companies add AI features to their products, each tool naturally builds an AI system that understands only its own surface. Tool A understands Tool A. Tool B understands Tool B. But the developer is still responsible for understanding the entire project.
Zide brings this fragmented workflow together. Zide is a native development workflow environment that brings projects, issues, AI assistance, git, CI, and pull requests into one place.

Not another editor with a chat box
Most agentic coding tools are still built around the same basic architecture: Editor + AI. They can be excellent at writing and editing code, but the development workflow is broader than the editor surface.
The code may be written faster, but the developer still has to understand the task, manage context, review changes, handle Git, check CI, and decide what ships. Zide is built around that full path.
Built around the developer, not the platform
Software development is becoming less about manually typing every line of code and more about managing AI through the development process. The developer becomes the overseer: defining the task, choosing the right model, reviewing the output, understanding the tradeoffs, managing git, checking CI, and deciding what ships.
That requires more than an editor.
It requires a workflow environment.
What Zide is designed to do
Zide is built for developers who need to manage real software work across real projects. Zide gives developers one place to understand what they are working on, move between projects cleanly, guide AI through meaningful development tasks, review changes, manage git, monitor CI, and prepare pull requests.
We are not trying to replace every code editor. Developers should be able to keep using the editors they already like. We are not trying to lock anyone into one AI company. Frontier AI is moving quickly, and the best model for one task may not be the best model for another. Developers should be able to choose the model, provider, and workflow that fit their needs.
The goal is simple: a developer should be able to open Zide, choose the project, understand the work, guide AI, review the result, manage the git workflow, and move toward a pull request — all from one native application.
See the workflow
From issue to pull request in one workspace
Start with an issue. Ask the agent to work in your repo. Review the diff. Stage the change. Open the pull request. Check CI. Zide keeps the work around the code in one place, so you are not rebuilding context across an editor, terminal, Git client, browser tabs, and AI chat.

The right agent for the job
Use the model that fits the task, work directly in your repo, and review every change before it ships. Zide keeps the agent, code, git, pull requests, and CI in one workspace so you can move from issue to implementation without rebuilding context across tabs.

Real engineering work, not autocomplete
Zide Assist is built for repo-level work, not just the next line of code. Ask it to make a change across files, follow the plan, run commands, and return the result as a reviewable diff.
You stay in control of what gets applied, committed, and shipped.
- Multi-file refactors, renames, and migrations.
- Dependency upgrades with tests to back them.
- Codebase-wide bug fixes and cleanups.
An agent that works in your repo
Zide Assist reads the files you choose, proposes changes as diffs, and runs commands locally under the sandbox you control. Add context by dragging in a tab, issue, file, diff, terminal, or list item.
Changes surface as reviewable diffs, so nothing happens somewhere you cannot see.
- Work with the models you already trust.
- Bring your own API keys or use included credits where available.
- Review diffs before changes are applied.
- Add context by dragging tabs or items into a prompt.
- Choose your sandbox mode: Off, Standard, or Strict.
Purpose-built features
Built for agentic development
Zide includes purpose-built features that help developers manage parallel work, model collaboration, and multiple agentic sessions without losing context.
Crosscheck
Let one model review another model’s work. Use the model you prefer for the task, then have another model automatically review the result and provide feedback.
Session Watch
Monitor your agentic sessions across projects at a glance and see which sessions are ready for your next input.
Relay — Experimental
Take a Zide session to your phone when you need to step away from your desktop.
CLI Agent Support
Use supported CLI agents within the Zide workflow alongside your code, Git state, terminals, and project context.
Git that feels like an instrument
Zide gives git a real interface without hiding how git works. Stage individual hunks, read clean diffs, inspect history, and manage branches, stashes, worktrees, and conflicts where the work is happening.
The hard parts of git are not buried in a terminal scrollback or split across tools.
- Hunk-level staging.
- Inline conflict resolution.
- Visual commit graph with ahead/behind tracking.
- Branches, tags, stashes, reflog, and worktrees as real surfaces.
Keep the state of the work visible while you make decisions: what changed, what is staged, where the branch stands, and what is ready to move forward.
Work multiple branches at once
Work multiple branches at once with full git worktree support. Each worktree opens as its own folder tab.

Arrange it like a workspace, not a wall of tabs
Build the layout around the task. Split panes, save layouts, open extra repos or worktrees, and switch projects without losing your place.
Each project keeps its own workspace state, so you can come back to the same files, terminals, issues, branches, and layout later.
- Drag tabs to split panes.
- Start from six preset layouts.
- Save and restore custom pane layouts.
- Open worktrees and multiple repos as separate folder tabs.
- Preserve workspace state across project switches.
Built for multi-project work
Developers often work across multiple projects at once. Zide is designed to make project switching cleaner and less chaotic. Instead of resetting context across several tools every time you change tasks, Zide gives you one workflow surface for moving between projects.
Open the next project without mentally rebuilding the last one.

GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket without the browser tab
Triage issues, open and review pull requests, watch CI runs, and cut releases from the same workspace as your code. Drag an issue into a pane, give it to the agent, review the diff, and keep moving.

GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket are treated as part of the development workflow, with supported capabilities brought closer to the code instead of living only in separate browser tabs.
- Issues with labels, milestones, assignees, and bulk actions.
- Pull and merge requests: list, create, review, and merge.
- CI runs across GitHub Actions, GitLab pipelines, and Bitbucket Pipelines.
- Logs, re-runs, and workflow status beside your work.
Integrations
Connect supported GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket workflows to the same workspace as your code, Git state, issues, pull requests, and CI.
Models
Use the models you already trust
Zide Assist works across supported model providers. Switch by task, bring your own API keys, use your own model subscriptions where supported, use included credits, or run local models where configured. Pick the model for the work. Keep the workflow in Zide.
AI platform-agnostic by design
Zide is not built around a single model provider. Use Zide Assist with supported server-based AI models, switch models based on the task, and use local models where they make sense for advanced workflows.
The bigger promise is choice.
- Use Zide Assist with supported server-based models.
- Bring your own API keys where supported.
- Run local models where configured.
- Review diffs before changes are applied.
- Keep issue context, code, git, CI, and PRs visible together.
- Use sandbox settings where tighter control is needed.

Principles
The ideas Zide is built around
Efficiency
Every feature should reduce real workflow friction. Zide is not built to add another tool to a developer’s day. It is built to reduce the friction created by too many tools, too many tabs, too many disconnected AI systems, and too much context switching.
Clarity
Developers deserve to understand what is happening. AI should not make development feel like a black box. Zide is designed to make AI-assisted development visible, reviewable, and easier to oversee.
Freedom
Developers should not be trapped by one AI platform. Zide gives developers access to strong AI assistance without forcing them into one provider, one model, or one company’s roadmap.
Transparency
Developers should not have to guess what their tools are doing. Zide should be clear about how AI assistance works, which model options are available, what role server-based models play, how credits work, and what choices developers have.
Built by developers, for developers
Zide is built around real development work and used by the team building it. The product should earn its place by making the workflow clearer, faster, and easier to manage.
Zide helps me track projects across repositories. I can start a temporary Git repo and communicate with Zide Assist about other open projects with full context and GitHub permissions, ensuring seamless operation without losing context or risking project codebases to changes.
When I start using a development product I appreciate how well the user interface helps get the job done in a straight forward way, and what we have created here really meets the mark.
