What is DF Code?

DF Code is a desktop app that manages your repositories, your workspaces, and your conversations with Claude, so you're not starting from zero every time you sit down to build something.

The core idea is simple: describe your project's structure and conventions once — as a workspace and, optionally, a Domain — and that context follows every conversation you start from it, automatically.

Everything lives on your own machine as plain files you own, so nothing about how DF Code works is a black box, and nothing leaves your computer unless you choose to send it somewhere.

From here, Workspaces & Threads covers the primary working surface, Domains covers reusable context, and Agents & the Conductor covers everything that can run on its own. If this is your very first time here, start with Create your first workspace.
