Works with any language and any project folder. No registration, no IDE lock‑in.

Free to use

Bring your own API key. If your provider offers free credits (e.g., Gemini), Lynecode stays free.

Built‑in version safety

Automatic backups before changes so you can explore freely and recover when needed.

Attach context

Attach files and folders inline. Navigate, and keep attachments visible as you chat.

Your data stays local

No tracking or data sharing. Your code and history remain on your machine.

Built in India

Proudly crafted in India for developers everywhere.
