Everything around the card.
In the same window.
How it works follows one card from a sentence to a shipped change. This page is the rest of the app: what you reach for while cards are in flight. Every scene shows the app’s own screens, in its own words.
Try it
See the change running before you ship it.
Once the Builder has made a change, the card has a Try it button. Plyloft starts your app in the card’s own copy and shows it on the card: Starting your app…, then Running on localhost, with the page itself under it.
A diff tells you what changed; clicking through your app tells you whether it is right. Try it gives you that before anything reaches your main branch, with no second checkout to set up by hand. No AI is used for it, and your own files stay as they are.

How to start your appPlyloft will start your app with this command, in the card's own copy of your project.Commandnpm run devFound in package.json: the "dev" script, run with npm.Saved for this repository on this Macthis PC · Building and checkingCancel
It asks onceThe first time, How to start your app suggests the command it found, such as npm run dev from package.json. Save and try remembers it for the repository; a command that comes from the repository runs only after you allow it on this computer. A plain website opens its index.html in your browser instead.
Reload, Open in browser, Show the session, StopThe preview sits under the card’s Now box. Open it in your own browser, or show the session your app runs in.
When it can’t startThe card says Couldn’t start and shows the last lines your app printed under Details: tell the Builder what went wrong, or press Change how it starts.
After you ship, tooThe card’s What shipped offers Try it in followed by your project’s name: your app from the project’s own folder, in Code’s preview.
Terminals & sessions
Claude, Codex and your shells, side by side.
Terminals is where you talk to Claude or Codex directly, try a command or keep your dev server running, in your project’s folder. Lay the sessions out one, two, four or six at a time; your cards’ sessions are listed beside them in the sidebar.
Not everything needs a card. A quick question, a one-off script or a long conversation belongs in a session, and with several open you need to see at a glance which one is waiting for you and which one has ended.

Inbox & History
What needs you, and what already happened.
The Inbox gathers what waits on you in every project: a card ready to ship, a review that asks for changes, a session that finished its turn or asks you something, a check that failed. History keeps what ran, shipped and was checked in every workspace over the last 28 days.
With several cards and sessions going at once, you shouldn’t have to visit each project to find the one that needs you. And when you wonder whether something shipped, or which session that fix came from, History has the answer without digging through terminals.

Review a pull request
Point the Reviewer at any open pull request.
Review a pull request…, in the Board’s ⋯ or in Search, lists the repository’s open pull requests: yours, a colleague’s, even one from a fork. Plyloft makes a card for it, and the Reviewer reviews it read-only, in a copy of its own, with the same findings and rounds as any card.
A second opinion is worth having on every change, not only on the ones Plyloft built. The findings stay in Plyloft, so you decide what to tell your colleague. On your own pull request, the Builder can fix what was found and send the fix to it.

Findings stay with youThe Reviewer’s findings land on the card and under the lines they name. No comment, no review and no edit is posted to GitHub. Copy findings puts them on the clipboard as Markdown, to paste where your team talks.
Review only, unless it’s yoursA colleague’s pull request, or one from a fork, is only reviewed: no Builder, no push. On your own pull request in the same repository, Fix with the Builder fixes what was found in the card’s copy, and the fix is checked and reviewed like any build.
One push, never forcedSend the fixes to GitHub sends the checked, reviewed fix to your pull request’s own branch, only while nobody has pushed to it since the fix started. Never forced, and never to the default branch, the branch Plyloft builds from or the pull request’s base.
It follows the pull requestNew commits make the card say New commits to review, and Review again reads them. If someone pushed on top of the head your fix is built on, Bring in the new commits merges them under your fix first. Merged or closed, the card says so.

Ask about this card
Talk a card over before anything is built.
Every card has Ask about this card: ask its Builder, Claude or Codex, what the card means, which files it would touch or how to approach it, and give it a screenshot, a PDF, a Word or a text file. On a card that isn’t built yet, Plan with two AIs has one AI write the plan while the other critiques it.
A sentence on a card can hide a decision nobody made. Asking first costs less than a build that went the wrong way, and a plan two vendors have argued over gives the Builder fewer blind spots. Both are discussion only: nothing in your project changes.

- Claude proposesClaudePlan: pages of 50 in InvoiceList.tsx. Read page and filter from the URL (?page=2&status=unpaid), so Back and a shared link keep both. Ask the API for one page with limit and offset; show “Page 2 of 7” with Previous and Next.
- Codex critiques · round 1 of 2 · Verdict: changes neededCodexOffset pages shift when an invoice is added while you read: page 3 can repeat a row. The API already returns a cursor (next_cursor), so use it. And “of 7” needs a count query the API doesn’t have.
- Claude revises · round 1 of 2ClaudeRevised: cursor pages from next_cursor, kept in the URL with the filter. Previous and Next, no page count. Changing the filter goes back to the first page.

Code
Your project’s files, one keystroke away.
Code is your project’s own folder in an editor: the file tree on the left, your files in tabs on the right. Go to file opens any file by part of its name, In files searches the text of all of them, and the tree’s right-click menu does the rest.
The Builder writes most of the code, but you still want to read a file, fix a typo yourself or look at what a card is about to change, without opening another editor. Code works on your project itself; a card’s work stays in its own copy until you ship it.

Getting started, Tips and Help
Learn it on your own project.
Getting started takes you through your first card in your own project. It points at the real buttons and waits for you; it never presses anything for you. Help, the row above Settings in the sidebar, holds the tour, Tips, what’s new in your version, the user guide and Get help.
A tour of a sample project teaches you the sample. Doing your first card for real, with a pointer at each step, leaves you with a shipped change and knowing where everything is. Later, New in this version tells you what changed without reading a changelog.

Library › Skills shows what the agents know in a project: skills in the repository, in the team library, on this computer and the four that come with Plyloft. All skills, in the sidebar, lists every skill on this computer and where each copy is used. My library keeps your own skills in a private repository on your GitHub account.
Skills pile up in folders nobody opens and get copied by hand between projects, until nobody knows which copy is current. Here each one says where it lives and whether it is up to date, and a copy into a project always goes through a card you see before it ships.

Plyloft on Windows
The same app on Windows 11.
Plyloft runs on Windows 11, 64-bit (x64), with the same features as on a Mac in every release. Tiles run PowerShell, Claude and Codex; shortcuts use Ctrl; closing the window can keep Plyloft running in the notification area.
A team rarely works on one kind of computer. With the same app on both, a card, a review and a skill look and work the same for everyone, and nobody waits for a Windows version that comes later.

Installs for your userNo administrator needed, and updates download on their own. The installer isn’t signed with a Microsoft certificate yet, so Windows may say “Windows protected your PC”: choose More info, then Run anyway.
PowerShell in every tileA shell tile runs your login shell, Windows PowerShell unless Settings › Look and feel › Editor and terminals › Tile shell names another, such as PowerShell 7 (pwsh). Claude and Codex run in tiles of their own, on your own plan.
Closing isn’t quittingClose Plyloft? asks first: Quit Plyloft, Cancel, or Keep running in the notification area. Right-click its icon there for Show Plyloft, Check for Updates… and Quit Plyloft. When I close the window, in Settings › Look and feel › Appearance, decides for good.
Ctrl, and a screen readerEvery shortcut uses Ctrl, and Ctrl+/ lists them (on a non-US keyboard, Ctrl with the key that types /); in a terminal, plain Ctrl letters go to the shell. Screen reader support makes the terminal you type in tell Narrator or NVDA what it prints, line by line.
