What it is

A desktop workspace for AI-assisted development. Work with Codex, explore your codebase with CodeGraph, and manage code, terminals, and Git in one place.

What the README says it does

  • AI conversations: work with Codex, attach files, revisit conversations,
  • Code exploration: use local CodeGraph indexes to search symbols, inspect
  • Editing: edit project files with language support and inspect changes
  • Terminal: use the embedded Ghostty terminal with split panes on macOS.
  • Git and projects: open or clone repositories, review diffs, and manage

Where the decision sits

Cheshi runs its own weights or its own runtime rather than calling a hosted API, so its decisions do not depend on a vendor being up or on a key being funded. The trade is that the model is now yours to keep current.

How active it is

Created 2026-09-13, last pushed 2026-10-25, 19 stars and 1 forks when we read it on 2026-11-02. Everything in this category is weeks old at most, so a stale push date means something different here than it would on a mature project. Check the repository before you depend on it.

Find out what your data actually supports

We turn your historical decisions into a frozen test set, then tell you which model, which threshold, and how much of it you can safely automate.
