We're excited to announce the launch of Sonars, a new kind of AI-powered development environment built from the ground up for professional developers.
The Problem We're Solving
Most AI coding assistants create friction. You copy code to a chat window, wait for a response, paste it back, and repeat. Context is lost with every interaction. When AI makes changes, you're left managing messy git histories and hoping nothing breaks.
We knew there had to be a better way.
Enter Sonars
Sonars is a desktop application that brings Claude AI directly into your development workflow. But what makes it different is our Git-first architecture: every AI session runs in its own Git worktree.
This means:
- Your main branch stays clean — AI experiments happen in isolation
- Parallel development — Work on multiple features simultaneously
- Easy rollback — Don't like the changes? Delete the worktree
- Full history — Every AI action is committed, creating a complete audit trail
Built for Performance
We built Sonars in Rust because we believe developer tools should be fast. Really fast. The app starts in milliseconds, stays responsive even with multiple workspaces open, and uses minimal memory.
The UI is built with Dioxus, a modern reactive framework that gives us native performance with a great developer experience.

- AI Chat with Claude — Real-time streaming, extended thinking mode, and persistent conversations
- Automatic Tool Execution — Claude reads files, writes code, and runs commands
