What bowline does for your code

Real files and real tools, no setup ritual. See what one install changes, with a page on each feature that goes deeper than the pitch.

The whole working state, everywhere you work

Four things bowline gives every machine and every agent you trust. Follow any one for the detail.

Real directories

Real directories, not a mount

~/Code is an ordinary folder on local disk. Your editor, shell, Git, and package managers treat it like any other directory, because it is one.

Env and secrets

Your env follows the project

.env, .env.local, and .env.* travel with the project, encrypted. Open it on a second machine or hand it to an agent, and pnpm dev just runs.

Agent overlay

Agents edit your live project

An agent edits ~/Code directly by default; every change lands in your real folder and syncs everywhere. Gate risky runs in an isolated overlay and review before they apply.

Status

Knows what's stale before work starts

bowline status flags stale bases, missing env, and degraded sync before an agent spends an hour working on the wrong tree.

ready when you are

Your ~/Code, on every machine and every agent.

Install bowline and your projects follow you. It just works.
