NOETIC
CODE

A coding agent with a real context manager and background teammates — in your terminal, on your desktop, and in your pocket. Quality holds on long tasks. Never hits a context limit.

ten context layers in concert. Detached agents in isolated worktrees. Per-phase model routing — not married to any provider. Durable cloud sessions you can pick up from any device.

02 / how it stacks up

Benchmarked, not vibes.

Two benchmarks where Noetic Code lands first. Both happen to test the things every other coding agent quietly fails at: long-running tasks and shell reliability.

Tests whether an agent still remembers turn 3 when it reaches turn 300.

05 / every screen

Not just a CLI. One agent, everywhere.

Sessions live in the cloud, not in a terminal process. The same conversation — the same diffs, the same queue, the same context — is open in your terminal, on your Mac, on your phone, and on the web, synced live over one WebSocket stream.

01
Terminal
$ noetic

The full TUI you already know.

Streamed diffs, plan mode, background teammates, a kanban task board. Install with brew, apt, npm, scoop, or winget.

02
iPhone & iPad
ios · native swift

The same session, in your pocket.

A native app — not a webview. Read diffs with real syntax highlighting, answer the agent’s questions by voice, queue up the next task from anywhere.

03
Mac
macos · native swift

A desktop app that can lend a hand.

Chat in a native window, or flip it around: serve your Mac’s shell and filesystem as the agent’s computer while you watch from your phone.

04
Web
app.noetic.tools

Every session in the browser.

The dashboard shows the same live thread, the same queue, the same context panel. Nothing to install when you’re on someone else’s machine.

The computer is your choice too: each session gets a persistent Linux microVM in the cloud — or point it at your own machine with noetic project host and the agent’s shell and files live on hardware you control.

01 / context manager

Ten layers, one mind.

Most coding agents have one trick for context: cram it all in, pray the model finds it.

Noetic Code ships ten specialized layers. Each has its own lifecycle, scope, and budget. The agent pulls what it needs, when it needs it. Your context window stays predictable no matter how long the session runs.

L01Working
Working Memory
Scratchpad for the current turn. Forgotten on the next.
L02Working
Observational Context
Auto-extracted facts from what just happened.
L03Working
Static Content
Project rules, style guides, invariants that do not change.
L04Working
Tool Context
Per-tool state — bash history, LSP diagnostics, open files.
L05Working
File Reference
Tracks files the agent has opened, edited, or staged.
L06Retrieval
Semantic Recall
Vector-indexed long-term recall. Pulls only what is relevant.
L07Retrieval
Episodic Context
Summaries of past conversations, indexed by task and outcome.
L08Retrieval
Plan Context
PRDs, task breakdowns, and checkpointed progress across runs.
L09Persistence
Durable Task State
Persistent artifacts that survive restarts and process crashes.
L10Control
Steering
Governance layer. Redirects or blocks unsafe tool calls.

03 / background agents

Work that keeps going.

A long task should not crash into a context limit at hour three. Hand off the heavy lift to a teammate and keep steering from the main session. Quality holds because no single thread ever gets bloated.

01
Spawn
fresh threadId

Detached child agents on a fresh thread.

Spin up a child with its own context window, let it work, receive the result. Nothing the child did pollutes the parent session.

02
Named Teammates
sendMessage() inbox

Long-running background workers with an inbox.

Give an agent a name and it becomes addressable. Send messages, check status, pull results when you want them. They work while you work.

03
Worktree Isolation
isolation: worktree

Each agent gets its own git worktree.

Parallelize without agents stomping on each other’s edits. Merge cleanly when they’re done. No shared working tree, no shared mistakes.

04 / multi-model native

Not married to one model.

Every other coding agent is built around one model family. When that family ships a bad release, your agent gets worse with it.

Noetic Code routes each phase of the harness to the best model for the job. Swap any of them without touching the others. OpenRouter under the hood gives you 300+ models and one billing endpoint.
