AI agents can now write 99% of the code. This changes what it means to be a developer. Our role shifts to knowing "what good looks like". To do that, we need completely new developer tools. Tendril is what replaces your IDE in an agentic era.

What's inside
Run agents in isolated git worktrees. Keep your main branch clean until you review, approve, and merge changes.
Expose your server securely using Cloudflare Quick Tunnels to monitor and steer agent runs from anywhere.
Dictate prompts using built-in Whisper voice input and attach text files, logs, or documents with drag-and-drop.
Annotate drafts inline to automatically update plans with revised agent goals.
Review agent changes, inspect diffs, and approve code with automated verification gates.
Ingest GitHub Issues or jam.dev bug reports via webhooks to turn markdown plans into active jobs automatically.
Works with any CLI agent: if it runs in a terminal, it runs in Tendril.
Extend your favorite AI coding agents with official Tendril engineering and debugging skills.
