HelperOne agent with one job, working in its own safe copy of your code.
Needs youOne inbox for every question an agent is waiting on.
BrainA plain log of what you've decided. Agents read it before they act.
GuardA check that stops a change if it breaks one of your decisions.
LandMerge a helper's finished work into your main code, in one step.

The basics

What is the brain?

The project’s own record of what was decided and why. Every agent reads it, whichever agent and whichever subscription, so you don’t explain the project again. In Founder, guards enforce it.

Is Codee3 free?

Yes. The IDE, agent chats beside your code, the project brain and landing an agent’s finished work are free for up to two projects open at a time, with no time limit. Founder (US$149 a year) adds an orchestrator, helpers working in parallel and the brain’s checks.

Which AI agents does it work with?

Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. You sign in with your own Claude, ChatGPT or Google account, inside the agent, as you do today. Setting each up: Claude Code GUI for Windows, Codex CLI on Windows and Gemini CLI GUI for Windows.

Do I pay for AI through Codee3?

No. Codee3 never resells AI. You keep the subscriptions you already have.

What is the orchestrator?

In Founder, the orchestrator is an agent that turns what you ask for into jobs, hands them to helpers, and tells you when it needs a decision. You talk to it in plain words.

What is a helper?

An agent (Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI) given one job. Each helper works in its own safe copy of your code, a git worktree, so helpers can’t overwrite each other.

Price and licence

What does Founder cost?

Founder: US$149 a year, for your first year and your first renewal. Standard: US$199 a year once the orchestration is complete.

Does it renew on its own?

Renews yearly until cancelled. US$149 for the first year and the first renewal, then the list price (currently US$199 a year).

How do I cancel?

Online, in one step, from your account, at any time. We confirm it by email.

Will you remind me before it renews?

Yes. We email you 35 days before each yearly renewal, with the date and the amount.

How does the licence work?

One licence key works on up to three computers. It works offline for the whole term, with 14 days’ grace when it ends.

Who handles payment?

Polar, as merchant of record. They take the payment, handle tax and send your receipt.

Installing

Why does Windows warn me when I install?

The installer isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say “Windows protected your PC”. Choose More info, then Run anyway. You can check the file’s fingerprint on the Download page first.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Not yet. Both are planned. Leave your email on the Download page and we’ll write once when yours is ready.

Do I need to install the agents separately?

Yes. Install Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI as you normally would and sign in. Codee3 finds them and runs them for you.

Privacy

What does Codee3 send about me?

Nothing about how you use it. The IDE contacts codee3.dev for three things only: the update check, in the tester build once you have entered your code (the free build has none); the extension library, unless you turn it off; and diagnostics, only when you choose to send them. The website counts visits without cookies.

Does Codee3 see my API keys or passwords?

No. You sign in inside each agent, with that company. Codee3 never sees a key or a password.

Does it work offline?

The IDE and the licence check do. Your agents need the internet to reach their own services, as they do today.
