Zana — the AI coding agent, a green terminal fairy

terminal-native · local-first · bring your own keys

The coding agent that runs itself

PRE-1.0

Import your Claude Code and Codex history into persistent, local memory. Delegate to background agents — or schedule them to run while your terminal is closed. Typed, permission-gated tools — not blind shell.

Named for the zana — the mountain fairy of Albanian folklore who guards those who work alone.
