The nerve center for agentic engineering

A private, local-first workspace where AI coding agents run side by side, share tasks, and hand work to each other.

Run more than one coding agent against the same repository and they work in the dark. Each has its own session and its own idea of the current state, so two agents will edit the same file from different assumptions.

Context dies at the end of every session, so each run begins by re-explaining the codebase. The engineer becomes a messenger between chat windows.

For thirty years the unit of work was you and a file, one line at a time. When agents arrived, the first instinct was to bolt them onto that editor.

The house itself has to change. When you are conducting a fleet rather than editing a file, durable terminals, tasks, messages, and approvals have to be first-class, not plugins.

Connect the coding agents you already pay for. NALA coordinates them rather than replacing them.

Sessions live in a detached daemon: close the app, reboot the machine, and terminals, scrollback, and agent conversations come back where they were.

Work is broken into tasks an agent claims, so a claimed task is visibly owned and two agents cannot start the same thing.

Agents hand off through durable messages that survive a restart, acknowledged end to end. Each department works in its own git worktree, so parallel edits do not collide on disk.

No agent spawns another without your signature, and every approval is single use.

Bring-your-own API keys travel from your machine straight to that provider. They are never stored, never proxied, never logged, and never appear in a support bundle.

We do not sign in to providers for you, and a provider subscription cannot be routed through us. That is a deliberate architectural line, not a policy promise.

The desktop app and terminal agent are free and stay free. A signed Windows build is published and downloadable today.

macOS and Linux are not published yet and the site says so rather than collecting emails against a promise. Hosted workspaces are a research direction, not an offer.

NALA does not resell inference. If you have your own provider account, you use it and we make nothing, which is the point: the free product has to survive without us.

For people who would rather not manage keys, an optional metered gateway is built and deliberately switched off until the economics and the terms have been checked.

The people who feel this problem are not curious about agents. They are already paying for two or three and losing time reconciling them.

That is a narrow first audience on purpose. It is the group for whom the coordination layer is worth installing something new.

The product is new. There are no customers to quote and no usage curve to show, so this slide shows neither.

What exists is a shipped Windows build, a verified download path, and a test suite that runs against a real database rather than mocks.

Next is a trustworthy cross-platform release and update path: macOS and Linux builds through the same signed, digest-verified pipeline Windows already uses.

After that, depth in the orchestration layer. Hosted workspaces stay research until the credential and spend questions have real answers.

The fastest way to judge this is to run it against a repository you know and see whether the coordination holds up.
