A desktop and terminal coding agent that uses local codebase memory, permission gates, Git worktrees, and any LLM provider.

Why it surfaced

Tide is unusually specific about how its agent works: local ONNX embeddings, three kinds of memory, parallel tool calls, and isolated worktrees for every file-changing session. The promise is less “chat with your code” than “plan, call, observe, commit” while keeping source and keys on the developer’s machine.

The Largest Cat Has No Number

August 14’s newborn domains include an unnumbered giant among thirteen catalogued glossy cats, a shareable Visual Snow Syndrome simulator, two independent Colombian relief directories, and a snail farm with races, courtship, and its own Gazette.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-14 Domain Arrivals issue.
