Products
Pathrule Studio is the complete product. The surfaces under it are lighter ways to work with the same workspace: your editor, your terminal, any MCP client, your own infrastructure, or the open core on its own.
The macOS app is where the whole thing lives: the agents, the task board, the design canvas, source control and runtime Signals, over one shared understanding of your product. Everything else on this page is a lighter way into the same workspace.
Same workspace, same knowledge, same MCP contract. Pick by where you work and what you need to control.
Pathrule CLI
The same runtime without the window, on macOS, Windows and Linux. SSH-friendly, and every command speaks JSON.
VS Code extension
A lighter editor surface for VS Code and its forks. The knowledge tree follows your active file, and the bundled CLI connects external clients.
MCP
One typed tool surface for any MCP client, locally over stdio or through the hosted endpoint.
Self-hosted
The managed product pointed at your own database, as signed images inside your VPC.
Open source core
The context engine itself, Apache-2.0, running fully local on embedded SQLite with no account.
iPhone app
The companion for a run in progress: live state, inline diffs, and a permission prompt you can answer from either device.
Each row links to the page that carries its full requirements. Hook-time delivery is the one row worth reading closely: it needs a local runtime, so a hosted MCP client answers on request instead.
| Surface | Platform | Runs agents | Hook-time delivery | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pathrule Studio | macOS | Yes, six engines natively | Yes | The complete product, wired on install |
| Pathrule CLI | macOS, Windows, Linux | The agents you drive from a shell | Yes | Terminal-first setup, headless boxes, CI |
| VS Code extension | VS Code and its forks | Connects external clients through CLI | Injects them | Working inside the editor you already have open |
| MCP | Any MCP client | No, it is the tool surface | Local runtime only | Connecting a client Pathrule does not install for you |
| Self-hosted | Your infrastructure | Per client | Per client | Data that cannot leave your boundary |
| Open source core | macOS, Windows, Linux | The agents you wire yourself | Yes | One person, fully local, no account |
Account, team, invites and billing are in Pathrule Web at app.pathrule.io, the cloud console. Writing knowledge and running agents happen on your machine, in Studio or the CLI, where the path-scoped context is delivered.
Pathrule is free for solo developers. Your first memory takes a minute.
