Does RunTrim upload source code?
No. In V1, source code stays local when using the Free CLI.
Local-first AI coding
A local-first control layer for AI coding agents.
RunTrim works in your repo. Free CLI has no account requirement. Cloud sync is optional Pro early access 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
- 1Track scope and run outcomes in local notes.
- 2Manually preserve follow-up prompts and safety constraints.
- 3Rebuild context on every new session.
04 / With RunTrim
RunTrim workflow

Privacy and trust
- Source code stays local in V1.
- No account required for Free CLI.
- RunTrim tracks metadata, generated prompts, changed file paths, and local memory.
- Pro early access cloud sync is optional and metadata-only.
05 / FAQ
Common questions
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 for approved Pro early access users.
Can I still use my preferred coding agent?
Yes. RunTrim is agent-agnostic and supports copy mode across 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 context limit? Continue the run without losing state.
When a run stops mid-task, the real cost is lost state. RunTrim keeps what changed, what is missing, and what to do next.
