Overview of Codync
What it is
Codync is an open-source application that turns coding agents on your computer into persistent bots you can message from an iPhone, Mac, Windows PC, Linux desktop, or terminal. It is described as an alternative to Grok Bot, Muse, and Dots. The software is built in Rust and licensed under Apache 2.0. It is free with no paid tier.

- Run multiple bots side by side, each with its own agent, project folder, and approvals. Group chats allow several bots and you to interact; @name picks who replies.
