LOCAL-FIRST · BYOK · YOUR MACHINE
Infinite context. A fraction of the cost.
Manna Code is a desktop coding agent that runs on your machine with your own model keys. Threads never compact — day-one details stay verbatim on day thirty — and routing across frontier and local models keep costs visible. In our 10-run single-prompt audit, the same Opus 4.8 task cost 51% less.
WORKS WITH
HOW IT REMEMBERS
“Infinite” context
Never compact again. Threads run as long as you need with no lost history, and a built-in context browser shows exactly what the model sees — so you can trim or pin to tune token usage.
WHO HOLDS THE KEYS
Bring your own keys
Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Fireworks, Together — or local models on your own hardware. Any OpenAI- or Anthropic-SDK-compatible endpoint works. You hold the keys; we never see them.
WHAT IT COSTS
Cost-efficient by design
~3x fewer tokens in a measured single-prompt code-audit benchmark — and your own orchestration mixes local models with frontier APIs, so cheap work stays cheap.
CONTEXT WITHOUT CEILINGS
Never compact again.
Other harnesses squash your conversation to fit a window — and lose the details that mattered. Manna Code keeps the whole thread and lets you decide what the model sees.
Unlimited thread length
Chat threads have no ceiling and no lost history. A session can run for days without the model forgetting how it started.
Built-in context browser
Always know exactly what's in your context. Inspect it live and make targeted tweaks to minimize — or maximize — token usage.
~3x fewer tokens — measured
In a 10-run single-prompt code-audit benchmark, Manna Code moved 149K tokens per run versus Claude Code's 439K. Same Opus 4.8 model; one individually graded run per tool scored 11/11.

TWO MODES, ONE AGENT
Route every request to the loop built for it.
$ manna analyst
Analyst
A desktop power-user assistant for files, documents, spreadsheets, data, and the web. Attach your corporate database and it answers with company knowledge — Python and charts out, one step at a time, streamed live.
$ manna code
Code
A planning-first coding loop with parallel tools, subagents, and a built-in file and git browser. It plans, edits, tests, and reports what it spent — and you can pause it mid-response to inject a thought.
Built for teams that can't ship their code to a black box.
Keys stay in the OS credential manager. Data stays in a local database. Costs stay visible — every session reports what it spent. And when you attach your corporate database, the analyst answers with company knowledge.
