Local-first AI coding

A local-first control layer for AI coding agents.

RunTrim works in your repo. Source code never leaves your machine. Free CLI requires no account. Cloud sync is optional and metadata-only.

01 / The problem

What goes wrong

  • Developers need workflow support without uploading source code.
  • Many tools combine local workflow with mandatory cloud accounts.
  • Security reviews stall adoption when data boundaries are unclear.

02 / Root cause

Why this happens

  • Cloud-first products often assume centralized storage by default.
  • Policy-sensitive teams need explicit local-only operation.
  • Developers want guardrails and memory without changing trust boundaries.

03 / Without RunTrim

Manual workaround

  1. 1Track scope and run outcomes in local notes.
  2. 2Manually preserve follow-up prompts and safety constraints.
  3. 3Rebuild context on every new session.

04 / With RunTrim

RunTrim workflow

runtrim
local
$npm install -g runtrim
$runtrim start
$runtrim agent "your task" --copy

Privacy and trust

  • Source code stays local. RunTrim never uploads it.
  • No account required for the free CLI.
  • RunTrim tracks metadata, generated prompts, changed file paths, and local memory.
  • Cloud sync is optional and metadata-only.

05 / FAQ

Common questions

Does RunTrim upload source code?

No. Source code stays on your machine. The free CLI runs entirely locally.

Do I need an account to use RunTrim?

No. The free CLI works locally without an account.

What does cloud sync store?

Cloud sync stores run metadata, generated prompts, changed file paths, and project memory. Source code is never included.

Can I still use my preferred coding agent?

Yes. RunTrim is agent-agnostic and supports copy mode across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other major AI coding tools.

Keep AI coding agents scoped before they edit.

Broad tasks can drift into auth, billing, env, database, middleware, and other sensitive areas. Guardrails reduce that risk.

Keep run history across Claude, Codex, Cursor and ChatGPT.

AI coding gets messy when every session starts from scratch. RunTrim keeps local run memory visible between sessions.

Create continuation prompts when AI coding runs stop mid-task.

Good continuation prompts preserve operational state. They do not ask the next session to rediscover it.

Claude Code guardrails: scope runs before they edit.

Without explicit scope, Claude Code can drift into auth, billing, env, database, and other areas outside the task. RunTrim sets guardrails before the run starts.
