CastCodes
belongs on your machine.
An open, local-first terminal and code workspace forked from Warp, rebuilt for ownership: cloud services disabled, telemetry removed, and the workspace surface kept inspectable.
A workstation surface,
not a hosted terminal account.
CastCodes keeps the modern command workspace, but shifts the relationship: local runtime, open code, explicit integrations, and no hidden service dependency.
Terminal, project context, and preview panes in one local app.
Use the block-based terminal foundation with the parts that make it a code workspace: project files, command history, browser preview, URL routing, and app-level open handlers.
No account gate.
Launch the app and work locally. CastCodes is built for developers who want the terminal surface without upstream auth in the critical path.
Auditable by default.
The app lives in the OpenCoven org under AGPL + MIT licensing, so the implementation can be inspected, rebuilt, and forked.
Telemetry and hosted hooks removed.
Upstream cloud, billing, and crash-reporting paths are intentionally disabled rather than hidden behind a settings toggle.
CLI and deep links.
Use cast-codes and castcodes:// to open workspaces from scripts, docs, and other tools.
Part of the local familiar ecosystem.
CastCodes is the code workspace side of the OpenCoven toolchain: practical, inspectable software that keeps local ownership at the center.
What changed from upstream.
CastCodes keeps the familiar terminal foundation while changing the operating contract around accounts, telemetry, hosted services, and forkability.
Forked from Warp.
Rebuilt for local ownership.
The point is not nostalgia. It is a terminal and code workspace you can inspect, run locally, and keep in your own toolchain.
