Free forever
The command-line tool is free, MIT, and yours whatever happens to this page
25 commands. Zero dependencies, zero telemetry, no account, under 1 MB. It does every job on this site — including the 7 that the paid app puts in your right-click menu.
There is no crippled tier here and no command that stops working on day fifteen. The trial governs the app — the Finder menu, the menu-bar switcher, the hotkey — and nothing else. chute sessions, chute bundle and the rest keep running on a machine that never pays a penny.
What the app adds is not capability. It is not leaving Finder, not typing a path, and seeing which of nine terminals is waiting for you without looking at nine terminals.
12 jobs it does on its own
75.3 minutes a day, measured the same way as everything else.
I hand it the whole feature and get back something that does four things badly.
One command puts the decomposition prompt on your clipboard, the same way every time.
The key is in my Keychain and it is about to be in my shell history.
It reads the Keychain and writes the .env — and refuses outright if that .env is not already ignored by git.
I asked for a function and got a factory, an interface and a config file.
The anti-bloat prompt, on the clipboard, worded the same way every time.
I come back after lunch and reconstruct what I was in the middle of.
One line, timestamped, appended to a SCRATCHPAD.md the agent can read too.
It says it is done. I have no idea what it touched.
The whole diff on the clipboard, ready to paste back and ask about.
The same change has to go into six repos and I am opening six terminals.
Name the folders once and every one of them gets its own terminal with the agent already running.
I want to share this log but I have not read every line of it.
Keys and tokens are masked before the text ever reaches your clipboard.
It says it wrote the file. Where.
The newest thing in the folder, revealed — or previewed without opening anything.
The agent cannot see the screenshot I am describing to it.
The image as a data URL on the clipboard, ready to paste into the message.
Someone needs to see this one file and it does not belong in a commit.
A secret gist and its URL on your clipboard — with the keys masked before anything leaves the machine.
I saved it as .txt again.
The extension comes from the code in the file, not from what you remembered to type.
I paste the context, wait, and find out it was too long.
The token cost per file, before you attach anything.
