About Nyx
Nyx builds developer tools for a world where agents write the code. CodeDistill is the first.
Why we exist
Every developer keeps notes on their projects — scratch files, a doc folder, a running list of "things to fix." They live beside the code instead of in it, so they drift out of sync and lose their relevance over time.
Then software changed. More and more of it is written through LLMs, and the intent behind a change — why it was made, what it was meant to satisfy — became the most valuable and most easily lost thing in the process. The keyboard stopped being the bottleneck; trust did.
That called for rethinking the IDE itself — not a place to type, but a place to steer, verify, and trace what an agent produced. That idea became CodeDistill.
The name
Nyx is the Greek goddess of the night — ancient, powerful, the one even the gods stepped around. Our mark is her, drawn as a constellation: a graph of nodes and edges, the same shape as the code and intent our tools keep tied together. Work happens in the dark, behind glass — and comes out verified.
What we believe
- Local-first. Your code and your intent stay on your machine. No cloud required, ever.
- Verifiable, not vibes. "Done" means checked against real criteria and a real test suite — not "looks right."
- Open at the core. The Community Edition is genuinely free and open-source — you can read every line that runs on your machine.
