Zerostel: a rewind button for AI coding agents

zerostel.com Visit website

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source, local-first tool that records AI coding-agent sessions and lets you rewind project files to earlier steps.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-07 issue.

For: Developers using AI coding agents
Worth noticing: The page distinguishes agent hooks from its general file-watcher mode, which records files but has no guardrails.

Field notes

The page presents several integration routes: agent hooks or plugins, an MCP server, a GitHub Actions step, and a command that watches another tool. Its example timeline labels individual actions, including a shell deletion and test results, then lets visitors drag back to an earlier project state. The site marks Homebrew and Scoop installation as coming soon; it describes the general file-watcher mode as lacking guardrails.
