Zide

What is Zide?

Zide is a native desktop workspace that puts code editing, Git, issues, pull requests, CI, terminals, and AI agents in one window. Built with Tauri and Rust, it runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Its agent, Zide Assist, works across files and repositories and returns every change as a reviewable diff.

Top Features:

• Agentic coding: the assistant plans changes, runs commands, and edits many files.
• Git client: stage hunks, rebase interactively, run bisect, and manage parallel worktrees.
• Crosscheck: send AI-made commits to a second model for automatic review.

Use Cases:

• Issue to PR: pick up a GitHub issue, implement it with AI, and open a PR.
• Refactors: rename, migrate, and upgrade dependencies across many files with tests.
• Multi-repo work: edit several repositories together while each keeps its own Git state.

Who Can Use Zide?

• Developers: cut tab switching between editor, terminal, Git client, and browser.
• Engineering teams: build a consistent workflow across developers, repositories, reviews, and CI.
• Maintainers: handle public GitHub issues, code reviews, and releases on the free plan.

Pricing

• Free ($0): three open projects, public repos, 25 trial credits, and CLI agents.
• Solo ($10/month): unlimited projects, private repositories, and 200 AI credits every month.
• Standard ($20/month): 1,000 credits, every catalog model, and support for your own API keys.
• Pro ($60/month): 4,500 monthly credits, with Max at $200 for 18,000 credits.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Fewer tools: code, Git, PRs, CI, and terminals live inside one native app.
• Perpetual license: twelve continuous paid months earn you a license you can keep.
• Reviewable AI: every agent change arrives as a diff you approve first.

Cons:

• Beta stage: the public beta opened in August 2026, so expect rough edges.
• Free limits: the free plan caps open projects and excludes private repositories.
• Credit burn: heavy agent use drains monthly AI credits quickly on lower plans.
