One operating environment
Keep every project and Codex session in view.
Coding agents can move work forward quickly, but projects, sessions, decisions, and unfinished tasks still become scattered across windows.
The Ditch gives builders one persistent place to operate several software projects and return to each session with its context intact.
Projects are scattered across folders and editor windows.
Codex sessions become difficult to supervise in parallel.
Prompts and decisions lose their project context.
Sessions wait silently for attention.
Project switching means rebuilding the thread.
Several products become difficult to operate at once.
Multiple projects. Persistent Codex sessions. One local workspace.
The workspace
Your projects and Codex sessions; side by side.
The Ditch brings together the workflow around your code: run sessions, see what needs attention, browse and edit supported project files, use the integrated terminal, and keep session history attached to each project.

The Ditch, answered directly.
What is included in Ditch Community?
The core local macOS workspace is free and open source: multi-project Codex sessions, status, history, local notifications, supported file editing, and the integrated terminal. No Ditch account is required for local use.
What does Ditch Commercial add?
Ditch Commercial includes Community and adds remote control through Ditch Mobile, so you can check active work and respond when a session needs you away from your Mac. Monthly, annual, and lifetime are payment options for the same edition. Codex access and usage are separate.
What is Ditch Enterprise?
Ditch Enterprise combines Ditch with DitchNow-led implementation, including tailored agent workflows, model and systems integration, custom software development, deployment requirements, and a custom SLA.
Who is The Ditch built for?
The Ditch is for solo founders, indie hackers, AI-native builders, consultants, and anyone operating multiple software projects with Codex.
Does The Ditch replace Codex?
No. The Ditch is a workspace around Codex. It helps you run and supervise Codex sessions while keeping them attached to their projects.
Does The Ditch replace my editor or terminal?
The Ditch includes a project file browser, supported file editing, and an integrated terminal, but it does not require you to abandon other tools in your workflow.
Can I manage multiple projects at the same time?
Yes. The workspace keeps projects and their Codex sessions separate while making session status and history available from one place.
Which platforms and coding agents are supported?
The current Community release supports macOS and Codex.
Is it local-first?
Yes. Ditch stores workspace state on your Mac, with remote runtime state on any SSH hosts you configure. Codex runs on the selected host and may communicate with OpenAI. Local-first does not mean offline model execution.
Do I need to give you my email to download?
No. The macOS download is available immediately without an email, account, Turnstile challenge, or analytics consent. GitHub hosts the release files.
What happens if I sign up for updates?
Your email is stored on the Ditch website’s private subscriber list with the date and consent version. It is used for the release notes and occasional Ditch updates you requested. Download clicks are measured through Google Analytics only when analytics consent is enabled.
Is Ditch Community open source?
Yes. The source is available at github.com/DitchNow/Ditch under the AGPL-3.0-only license.
Who makes The Ditch?
