Ask the agent to inspect and plan before it touches anything. What you learn goes into readable notes that show which chat wrote them, so the next person, or you in a month, does not start over.
Free for one person on your Mac, no card. Your model provider bills you directly.
No rebuilding your understanding in each new chat.
First thing
You inherited the repository, not the reasons. Each new chat relearns the same module from nothing, and you forget what you worked out last time.
Mid-morning
Understanding accumulates. Notes are editable, tied to their source, and found by meaning, and edits wait for a plan you approved.
After lunch
Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.
Before you close the lid
Keep what you learn about inherited code close to the files.
A chat box answers. Bandicot does the work in your folders, asks before it writes, and keeps a version of every change.
In a chat boxA model and a text box, with no gate before a write.

In a chat boxA conversation. The files stay wherever you copied them from.
In BandicotProjects that hold the workKeep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.
In a chat boxClose the tab and the thread is somewhere in a list.
In BandicotDurable work sessionsClose the window, restart, or pick up from another of your Macs without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.
In a chat boxIt suggests an edit and you apply it yourself, so there is no gate to read.
In BandicotA human gate for writesWhen work can change files or systems, Bandicot makes the decision visible before the effect lands.
The free plan has every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.

Memory is readable and editable, scoped to the project and profile, and a hover shows where a note is kept and which chat wrote it.

Every line below is already in the plan. Nothing here is an extra you pay for.
Free for one person on your Mac, no card. Your model provider bills you directly.
No contract. Cancel any time from your account and keep the plan until the end of the period you paid for.
Each line says whether it ships now or is still being built, so you never buy a promise.
An agent asks before it writes, runs or spends outside the rules you set; the rules live in one permissions file.
Every file an agent changes is recorded, with diffs, restore, undo of a whole run, and a slider that puts a folder back to any moment.
Switch between hosted providers and local models without rebuilding the project around one lab.
Restore and undo show what would change first, and change files only when run again with --yes.
/also adds whatever follows it to the session plan without stopping the work in progress.
The saved history goes back into the project exactly as it was, with your commits, branches and tags.
