The Traycer IDE extension will be retired on October 31, 2026. Your existing work continues in Traycer Desktop.
Traycer started as an IDE extension. But an extension can only do what the editor around it allows, and those limits held us back from building the workspace we wanted: one place where your coding agents, terminals, files, git diff, and plans all live side by side. So Traycer has evolved into a full desktop app. We’re retiring the extension and shifting our focus fully to Traycer Desktop. Your existing work comes with you. Sign in to Desktop with the same Traycer account, and the work you did in the extension continues there.

Download Traycer Desktop

macOS, Windows, and Linux. Free for individuals.

Quickstart

Create your first Task and run your first agent in a few minutes.

​
Traycer Desktop in Short

Traycer Desktop is a workspace for working with coding agents. You organize work into Tasks. Inside a Task, you run agents through a Chat or Terminal interface, right next to the files, terminals, git diff, and artifacts (specs, tickets, stories, and reviews) that belong to that work. Free with the AI subscriptions you already have. Connect your existing subscriptions, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, directly to Traycer Desktop and use it for free. Don’t have one? You can use Traycer credits instead. See Agents & Models for the supported agents.

​
How to Do What You Did in the Extension

Epics, Phases, and Plans. These now live in a Task that holds artifacts such as specs, tickets, and reviews. See the artifact workflow. Planning. Agents now create plan documents as artifacts inside your Task. For larger features, use the planning skills, such as traycer-epic-brief, traycer-tech-plan, and traycer-ticket-breakdown. Pick a skill with $ in the composer, or type / and the skill name. Phase breakdown. You no longer need to break work into phases by hand. Traycer automatically splits the work into multiple steps, or launches multiple sub-agents that work on different sub-tasks in parallel wherever needed. You can also ask it to create a phase-by-phase artifact directly, which agents always refer to as they work. Review. Ask an agent to review your changes with the traycer-review skill, and inspect every change yourself in the Git Diff panel. And a few things the extension could never do:

Agent-to-Agent

Agents delegate work, create child agents, and share results inside the same Task.

Worktrees

Run agent work in an isolated git worktree without touching your main folder.

Terminals

Run terminals and terminal agents right inside the Task.

Remote Hosts

Connect Desktop to a workspace on another machine.

​
Moving to Desktop

1

Install Traycer Desktop

Download it for your operating system from the Install page.
2

Sign in with the same account

Use the Traycer account you used in the extension, so your existing work and plan come with you.
3

Set up a coding agent

Connect Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, or another agent in Agents & Models.
4

Open your project and keep going

Choose your workspace folder, then open your earlier work from History or start a new Task with the Quickstart.

​
What Changes for Your Plan

If you’re on a free plan, nothing to pay for. Traycer Desktop is free to use with your existing AI subscriptions, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, because you connect them directly. Otherwise, you can use Traycer credits. If you’re on a paid plan, it continues on Desktop, but it works differently. Instead of rate-limited artifacts, you receive monthly inference credits to run models through the Traycer provider. As a thank-you to early users, your current plan includes 50% extra credits every month, forever. For example, a $20/month plan gives you $30 in inference credits each month. These credits expire at the end of each month and do not roll over. Using your own coding agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Cursor, does not consume Traycer credits. See Pricing for how credits and plans work on Desktop.

FAQ

On October 31, 2026. We recommend moving to Traycer Desktop before then so your workflow is not interrupted.
No. Sign in to Traycer Desktop with the same account you used in the extension, and your existing work continues there as Tasks. Plans come over as specs, and your conversations come over with them.
No. Traycer Desktop works on the same project folder on disk, so you can keep your editor open alongside it.
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and many more. See the full list in Agents & Models.
Yes, if you have an existing AI subscription. Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another supported agent directly, and use Traycer Desktop for free. Otherwise, you can use Traycer credits to run models through Traycer. See Agents & Models and Pricing.
It continues on Desktop with monthly inference credits instead of rate-limited artifacts, plus 50% extra credits every month as an early user. See What Changes for Your Plan.
macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux, including Windows via WSL. See Install.
Yes. Cloud sync and sharing Tasks with individual people work on every plan. To share a Task with your whole team, the team needs the Sync plan. See Pricing and Teams.
