01 / THE IDEA

Coding with agents creates a new kind of workspace problem: the conversation, the code and the tools all need to stay connected. Ronin brings them together around a thread, with a repository and its working context close at hand.

02 / THE EXPERIENCE

One place to stay in flow.

Terminal, browser, diffs and Git sit alongside the agent conversation. Provider handoff keeps the workspace intact, while separate worktrees let comparison threads develop independently. Permissions belong to each thread, making the boundary of an agent’s work explicit.

Usage stays visible within the desktop workspace.

03 / THE EXPERIENCE

Personal, down to the surface.

Appearance controls give the working environment a personal character. The interface keeps its hierarchy across themes: navigation at the edge, the task in the centre, and supporting tools within reach. Ronin is local-first and open source under the MIT licence.
