Local-first AI coding agents deserve a control surface
Junction is built for teams that want the leverage of AI coding agents without making a hosted sandbox the center of every repository workflow.
Best for
Developers who care about repo locality, credentials, and existing toolchains.
Why Junction
Local-first does not mean laptop-only. It means the execution environment stays yours while remote control becomes easier.
What it means
Junction is the local-first control plane for AI coding agents.
Your real environment is part of the product
Production projects depend on local databases, language runtimes, secrets managers, simulators, and internal tools. Junction keeps agents attached to that working environment.
Remote control without remote execution
The browser interface can be remote while the agent process remains local. That split is what makes mobile review and notifications useful without changing where code runs.
A better default for sensitive repositories
Local-first agent workflows reduce the need to duplicate repo access and credentials into another platform just to supervise automated development work.
