Kryex Code · desktop app

The coding agent your security team will approve. Full power on the desktop, governed on every call.

Kryex Code plans the work, edits your code, runs commands, drives a browser, hands pieces to sub-agents and remembers your project — on the model you choose. Anything that touches a governed system is checked on the server before it runs.

Free models included — no API key needed.

New sessionledger-api

Start a task

Describe what you want done — the agent reads, edits, and runs commands in your workspace, with approval on anything risky.

The workspace

Every step the agent takes, visible in one workspace.

The conversation sits in the middle. Around it, a dock you arrange yourself: the browser, a real terminal, every file it touched, the plan, background jobs, sub-agents and a side chat.

Describe the task and attach files, folders or images. Pick the model, watch the context meter (with a full breakdown of what's using it), and set the permission mode.
Permission modes

You decide how far it goes on its own.

From asking before every action to running freely, pick the mode that fits the task. The mode only changes when the agent stops to ask you — what it's allowed to touch is still decided by your grants on the server.

How modes and grants fit together
Five permission modesComposer → mode
The mode decides when the agent stops to ask you. Your server-side grants apply in every one of them.
Ask before every action — allow once, for the session, or deny.

What Kryex Code actually does

A real coding agent underneath the enforcement.

Not a policy layer with a chat window attached to it. Kryex Code plans, delegates, remembers, and runs work on its own — the same execution boundary just applies to every one of these, the same way it applies to a single tool call.

SubagentsDelegates a subtask to an isolated subagent with its own context — its token budget is tracked separately from the parent conversation, not pooled into it.
Background tasksHands off a long-running command and keeps working. When it finishes — even in a closed conversation — the agent wakes itself, reads the result, and reports back in the same thread.
Plan ModeDrafts a plan and a live checklist before touching anything, and pauses for one-time sign-off before it starts executing — not a running commentary after the fact.
SkillsLearns a reusable procedure once, scoped to a repo or global, and finds it again later by meaning, not by an exact keyword match.
MemoryStanding project rules, corrections it's been given before, and failed approaches it's already ruled out all persist and reload automatically in the next session — on that repo, not just that chat.
Cost governanceEvery model call is checked against a live, per-user, per-model quota before it runs — not a monthly bill you find out about afterward.
Also in the toolbox

Built for the whole job, not just the code.

Researches the web, with sourcesSearches and reads several pages in parallel, then answers with the sources cited — through the same governed path as any other connection.
Drives a real browserNavigates, clicks, types, reads the page, checks the console and network requests, takes screenshots, and works across tabs.
Reads your documentsPulls the text out of PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files locally, so a spec or a spreadsheet can be part of the task.
Checks every editEvery file it changes is checked for broken structure before it moves on, offline.
Follows your project's rulesReads standing instructions from .kryex/KRYEX.md (or an existing AGENTS.md) every turn, and keeps them up to date when you ask.
Sketches before it buildsRenders a quick mockup or diagram inline, so you can agree on the shape before any code is written.
Any model

Start on free models. Bring your own whenever you like.

Free models are included, with no API key needed. Or add your own key for 20+ providers, point it at your company's endpoint, or run fully local with Ollama or LM Studio. Kryex never marks up your provider's bill.

Governed by default

It asks for access. It never takes it.

Databases, MCP tools, the browser and web research all go through your organization's grants. When the agent needs more, it asks — and waits.

  • Requests access in the conversation. READ, WRITE or ADMIN on a database, a browser or an MCP tool, with the reason attached, straight to an admin.
  • Waits on held calls. When a tool needs approval, the agent follows it live and continues the moment an admin approves.
  • Never holds the keys. Credentials for governed systems stay on the server; the app only sends which tool and which arguments.
  • Keeps a local record. What the agent did on your machine is written to a local audit trail, alongside the server's own log.
  • See what admins control in Kryex Admin
Watch it work

Two different problems.The same real agent.

Not mockups — real product chrome, run to the actual end. A database incident, a governed knowledge base — whatever the task looks like, it plans, reads, writes, and checks in with the gate before it acts, every time.

Fixing a production incident

Investigate intermittent 500 errors affecting invoice exports and deploy a production-safe fix.

Building against a governed MCP

Our payments retry policy changed last quarter — check the internal eng docs and update the on-call runbook to match.
