Product Overview
What is Cindy?
Cindy is a local-first, open-source agent for software development and everyday work. It brings Claude Code, Codex, and Pi into one workspace, allowing users to switch models and execution frameworks without losing task context, memory, or tools. Users can connect existing subscriptions, API keys, local models, or Cindy's optional managed service. Built-in integrations, reusable skills, and scheduled tasks extend its capabilities beyond coding, while isolated workspaces, change reviews, and checkpoints keep users in control.
Key Features
Multiple Agent Frameworks
Switch between Claude Code, Codex, and Pi mid-task while retaining workspace context, memory, skills, and tools.
Flexible Model Connections
Use existing coding subscriptions, provider API keys, local models, or Cindy's managed model service.
Parallel Task Execution
Coordinate multiple agents for planning, implementation, testing, and independent review within a shared task context.
Connected Tools and Workspaces
Work with local files, terminals, browsers, remote servers, and services such as Slack, Feishu, GitHub, and Jira.
Reviewable Local Work
Keep workspace data local by default, review edits before approval, and return to checkpoints when changes need revision.
Custom Skills and Automation
Define reusable skills, connect tools through MCP, schedule recurring tasks, and monitor computer sessions from mobile.
Use Cases
- Software Development : Delegate implementation, regression tests, documentation, and code review to coordinated agents.
