Why BranchHelm

Why BranchHelm

Every repo at once

Keep your editor. Bring repository status, parallel worktrees, and branch history together when one project window is no longer enough.

One live fleet

Use your own coding tools. Follow sessions across repositories, then inspect their changes in the same workspace. History and controls depend on the provider and setup.

The whole Git workflow

Useful with or without AI: review exact lines, resolve conflicts, and recover earlier states. Move from understanding a change to committing it in one app.

Tools for the whole workflow.

Scratchpad

Data tools, HTTP requests and database queries. No repository required.

Data tools, HTTP requests and database queries. No repository required.

  • Generate TypeScript, Go, Rust, Python, C# and JSON Schema from JSON samples.
  • Send an HTTP request, then open its response in a matching data tool.
  • Data transforms run locally. HTTP and database tools connect to the destinations you choose.

Tests

Run the project test suites affected by your changes.
  • Run the project test suites affected by your changes.
  • Inspect failures beside the code, with coverage and flaky-run evidence where the runner provides it.

Questions, answered.

It’s free — what’s the catch?

The beta is free to use. Pricing after beta has not been decided. Try it on a project and tell us what would make it useful in your daily work.

See what is running

Process, host app, repository, branch, state, and resource usage—even when the agent does not integrate.

Recover durable context

Provider-owned local histories add prompts, replies, and tool events when those records exist.

Follow and intervene

Hooks and sessions started through BranchHelm add exact live activity plus the controls that provider supports.
