This is our spin on T3 Code. It is not an official T3 Tools release.
Signed Mac builds are on Releases. Packaged apps check those releases for updates from Settings → General. Official installers, mobile, docs, and the rest of the project live in pingdotgg/t3code.
This flavor of T3 includes:
- A much cleaner interface
- A Cursor-style sidebar
- Missing key bindings for things like the pull requests and usage views
Ship a new signed Mac build with vp run release:fork:desktop after loading Apple notary credentials. That bumps the patch version, notarizes, and publishes a GitHub Release. Commit the version bump with the ship.
Nick: I build with agents from different subscriptions all day, every day. I like having a surface I can control. I'm also very opinionated about interface clutter, and I wanted to bring a lot of the simplicity I enjoy from Codex/Cursor into my development experience. T3 has done a great job with the platform, I just want to take the front end in a different direction.
You need Node 24 and at least one provider CLI logged in (Codex, Claude, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, or Antigravity).

vp run dev:desktop --home-dir "$PWD/.t3"--home-dir keeps this checkout out of an installed T3 Code. The [dev-runner] line should print baseDir=.../.t3.
Server and web only:
vp run dev --home-dir "$PWD/.t3"
