Amara

the coding-tuned model underneath

What it does

A coding agent, not a chat window

Amara reads your codebase, plans multi-step work, and executes it — from your terminal.

Write and edit code

Describe what you want built or fixed. Amara reads your codebase, plans the work, edits files across your repo, runs your tests, and hands you a reviewable diff.

Debug at the source

Paste a stack trace or point Amara at a failing test. It traces the root cause across your codebase and proposes a fix with the reasoning attached.

Review before it ships

Every change surfaces as a reviewable diff before it lands. Approve, edit, or reject — the agent never merges without you.

Fits your existing shell

A Unix citizen: pipe content in, pipe output out, chain it with grep, jq, and the rest of your toolkit. Runs in scripts, cron jobs, and CI.

Standalone or built in

Use it in your own terminal, or inside Syntic Code Desktop

Same agent, same memory, same controls — you pick the surface.

Standalone

Install into whatever terminal, shell, and editor you already use — bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell. One command to install, one to authenticate.

Inside Syntic Code Desktop

Syntic Code Desktop bundles the CLI with a modern terminal — command blocks, AI-native workflows, and a shell that keeps up with the work. One download.

Security

Your key stays in your keychain. Your data stays yours.

Your API key is stored in your system keychain, not in a config file. Requests go directly to Syntic's API over TLS. Your code is never used to train shared models, and the agent runs scoped to the project you opened — not your home directory, not your SSH keys.

Install the CLI and ship your first fix in minutes.

One command to install. One command to authenticate. Everything else is just Amara, in your terminal.
