When the chat list stops working

Your chats are projects now.

Bandicot keeps work in projects with memory you can read, and lets agents act on your files after you approve. Bring the model you already use.

The pressure

Ongoing work hides in a list of chats. Each new one starts cold, and none of them can touch your files without copy and paste.

The promise

A project remembers. An agent works on the files. You approve what changes, and every change is kept.

The picture

Projects that remember, and agents that work on your files with your approval.

Why it holds
Memory belongs to the project and profile; every write waits for approval.
How soon
Create a project, point it at a folder, start.
What it saves you
No scrolling through a sidebar of chats to find last week's answer.

The plan

What does the work, and what is still being built.

Every card names its status. Available now means you can use it today; in development and direction mean it is not shipped yet.

Free Bandicot core

Available now

Solo is free with every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.

Paid plans add profiles to an account. Bandicot does not resell model tokens.

A trusted harness around the model

Available now

Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.

The native host owns execution facts. The model proposes work; it does not certify a write, spend, or success.

Projects that hold the work

Available now

Keep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.

A session is anchored to a project boundary so a pivot starts from an intentional context, not accidental history.

Durable work sessions

Available now

Close a client or reconnect after a pause without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.

The host records session state and clients reattach to it. A browser view does not become the source of truth.

A human gate for writes

Available now

When work can change files or systems, Bandicot makes the decision visible before the effect lands.

The approval boundary fails closed when an action is not allowed. The model cannot grant itself permission.

Choose the model that fits

Available now

Use a local endpoint, a private runtime, or a remote provider without rebuilding the project around one model lab.

Provider adapters keep model choice separate from project state. Remote providers receive the prompts sent to them.

Memory you can read

Available now

Agents keep notes per project and profile that you can read, edit and forget.

Memory stays on your Mac with the profile it belongs to.

Agents with a project boundary

Available now

Let an agent inspect, plan, and use tools inside the project you selected instead of an unbounded chat transcript.

The host controls tool calls, cancellation, permissions, and the final recorded result.

Recorded versions of the work

Available now

Keep a legible trail of the turn and its effects so a pivot can be reviewed instead of guessed at.

The host treats state changes as recorded events. Reverting is itself part of the history.

Every token in view

Available now

See the tokens, cache reads and cost of every turn, per session, profile and model, and the habits behind them.

Bandicot reports what the provider or local runtime exposes. A provider that hides usage shows a dash, never a guess.

For you if

People whose chats have turned into ongoing work.

Not for you if

Casual questions: a chat tab is fine for those.

Questions

Questions before you start

Can I keep using the model I pay for?+

Yes. Connect a provider key or a supported subscription. The provider bills you as it does today.

Will agents change my files without asking?+

No. Writes outside your rules wait for approval, and every change is recorded so you can restore it.

Is it a browser app?+

No. Bandicot is a native Mac app. The website is for accounts, billing and docs.

Project Starter

A project remembers. An agent works on the files. You approve what changes, and every change is kept.
