Picks up where you left off.
Memory lives in readable files on your machine, each entry with its source. Bring your sessions from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and pi, or search their history without importing it.
Memory with sources Terminal coding agent · free to use · pre-1.0
Coding agents that keep working while you're away.

Why ZanaBuilt for work that outlasts
Built for work that outlasts
a single chat.
Most agents forget when the chat ends and stop when you close the laptop. Zana keeps the thread, and keeps to the limits you set.
Keeps working while you're away.
A background service runs scheduled agents on your machine, each with its own model and permissions. With Zana Cloud you can check in from your phone.
Scheduled agentsWorks under your rules.
Every tool declares what it changes, so read-only mode and per-agent permissions are enforced by the runtime. API keys stay out of shell commands, and secrets are redacted from what is saved or streamed.
Declared side effectsAnthropicOpenAIDeepSeekOpenRouterOllamaAny OpenAI-compatible API
Bring your own API keys, or run local models with Ollama. Usage is billed by your provider; Zana adds no markup.
Zana is independent and not affiliated with these providers.

Your sessions,
beyond the terminal.
Zana works on its own in your terminal, with no account. Zana Cloud adds a private workspace where the same sessions run and stay within reach, from any browser or your phone.
- Runs where you wantIn a cloud workspace for your organization, or on your own Mac or Linux machines, paired with a one-time code over an outbound connection you can revoke.
- Follow and steer from anywhereWatch replies stream in, send a follow-up mid-run, stop a run and see what it cost, from the browser or your phone.
- Review and shipCheck the diff, commit and push from the browser in your cloud workspace.
About Zana Named after
Named after
the fairy of the mountains.
In Albanian folklore, Zana e malit is the fairy of the mountains, a guardian of the heroes who cross them. Zana Agent keeps watch over your projects in the same spirit: it remembers the path, keeps going when you step away, and stays within the bounds you set.
Zana Agent and Zana Cloud are created by Ordis Hysa.

“Explain how this project is structured and where its tests live.”
A few useful details
Before you begin.
Zana is an early-stage project. Interfaces and behavior may change as it develops.
Is Zana free?
Yes. Zana Agent is free for personal and commercial work under its license. Your model provider bills its own usage. Zana Cloud is in private preview.
What does “local” mean here?
Sessions, configuration and memory live on your machine under ~/.zana-agent/. When you use a remote model, prompts and relevant context are sent to that provider. You can choose Ollama for a local model.
What does the installer set up?
It downloads the published Zana bundle, provisions Bun if needed, updates your user PATH and starts the background service. No administrator account is required. Open “Read the installer” above to inspect the script and its options before running it.
What should I know about Windows?
Use the PowerShell installer and run zana doctor first. Windows support has limitations: automatic startup at login is not installed, terminal images fall back to text, and shell and permission behavior differ. Persistent execution is restricted where required permission guarantees are unavailable. Update by rerunning the PowerShell installer.
