The minimalist open-source coding harness from Mario Zechner (creator of libgdx). Four-tool core (Read / Write / Edit / Bash), provider-agnostic, bring-your-own-key, and a tree-structured interaction model that lets you rewind to any prior message and branch from that point. The harness you make your own, not the harness that forces a workflow on you.

Todoist added AI Assistant features in 2024 — task breakdown, natural language scheduling, and project suggestions. In 2026 it's the mature task manager with AI that enhances rather than replaces the core product.

The most capable open model family in 2026 for developers who need permissive licensing, on-device inference, or model-portability across harnesses.
