Scient is a local-first desktop workspace for working with the AI agents and subscriptions you already use.
It brings chats, terminals, browser previews, diffs, branches, provider sessions, and handoffs into one focused workspace so you can run agent work without juggling a dozen windows.
- Use the AI accounts you already pay for: Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, Cursor, Grok, Kilo Code, and Pi.
- Run parallel work across projects, threads, and isolated Git worktrees without branches stepping on each other.
- Keep split chats, terminals, browser previews, and agent output visible in the same window.
- Hand off a thread to another provider when you want a second model to pick up with the same context.
- Review diffs, create branches, commit, push, and open PRs from the app.
- Keep your workspace local. Scient stores chats, projects, and history on your machine and talks directly to the providers you choose.
Warning
You need to have Codex CLI installed and authorized for Codex sessions to work.
No public Scient Desktop release is available yet. While the project is still early, run the current source as a local application:
bun install
bun run devThe development runner prints and opens a localhost URL. This is the normal
way to test product and UI changes; downloading or packaging the desktop app is
only necessary for desktop-specific behavior. See
Local app testing for the isolated workflow and
testing boundaries.
Scient runs as the workspace layer on your machine. There is no Scient cloud holding your repositories, chats, or project history.
The provider you choose still receives the prompts, file snippets, diffs, terminal output, or tool results needed for a session, but that traffic goes to the provider you picked rather than through a separate Scient-hosted workspace.
Scient is still very early. Expect bugs, rough edges, and fast-moving internals.
Focused issues and PRs are welcome, especially bug fixes, reliability fixes, and small maintenance improvements.
Read CONTRIBUTING.md before opening an issue or PR.
