A powerful GUI for GitHub Copilot CLI that brings transparency, control, and customization to AI-assisted development.
- Free and Open Source - No licensing costs, no vendor lock-in. Full transparency into how your AI workflows operate with community-driven development.
- Fully Customizable - Tailor the interface, theme, layout, and workflows to match your personal setup. Extend with plugins for your team's specific needs (coming soon).
