What is Wirefold, exactly?+
A local-first desktop app for AI-assisted coding in existing web projects. It brings your running app, an AI agent, a sandbox preview, and a code diff into one workbench. Select a live element, describe the outcome, Run in a sandbox, then Review and Apply.
Does the agent edit my working files?+
Not during a Run. Agent changes stay in an isolated, session-scoped Git sandbox. Each patch checks that the file still matches the version the agent read. Your active checkout changes only after your explicit Apply. Apply automatically stashes your uncommitted work and restores it through the merge flow; conflicts need your attention.
Does local-first mean the AI runs offline?+
No. Your sandboxes, contracts, and session history are local, but the selected model provider receives the prompts and code context needed for the task. Bring an Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google API key; provider usage is billed separately.
What does Review actually guarantee?+
The review snapshot binds the complete diff to the exact sandbox state. Apply checks that the contents still match. This protects against applying different code from what you reviewed; it does not certify correctness or passing tests. Try the preview, inspect the diff, and run the checks your change needs.
Which projects can I use it with?+
Vite + React and Next.js web apps in the desktop workbench. Development instrumentation maps supported live elements to their source. Production builds do not include the development selection markers.
Can I download a public desktop build?+
Public installers are not linked here yet. With repository access, you can start the desktop app from source using the instructions below. Sign in and confirm a subscription before starting a Run or resuming one. Reviewing and applying existing work does not require a subscription.
