For agentic development

Understand the code your agents write.

Kod is a focused native Mac app for navigating and understanding local codebases while your agents handle the edits. Search everything, trace symbols, inspect diffs, and preview supporting files without opening a full IDE.

Stay oriented

Keep up with what your agents are changing.

Kod turns a local repository into a fast, legible map of files, symbols, references, diagnostics, and diffs, so you stay oriented while implementation moves at agent speed.

01

Find the relevant code

Expand folders as you need them, jump with Quick Open, or stream workspace search results without waiting for a persistent index.

  • Lazy Explorer and path-aware Quick Open
  • Text and regular-expression search
  • Horizontal and vertical split groups
02

Trace how it works

Move through definitions, references, implementations, diagnostics, and call relationships with optional local language servers.

  • Hover and semantic information
  • Definitions, references, and hierarchy
  • Diagnostics and inlay information
03

Inspect every change

See what changed and why with status, inline markers, staged and working-tree diffs, and blame in the same place you read the code.

  • Source control overview
  • Quick Diff and full file diffs
  • Line-by-line blame context

Context beyond source

Everything around the code adds context.

Render GitHub Flavored Markdown and static HTML, inspect common image formats, and search JSON or property lists without leaving your split layout.

  • HTML
  • Images
  • JSON & plists

Built for agentic coding

Let agents edit. Stay close to the code.

Kod gives you the navigation, context, and inspection tools you need to understand a repository without turning every question into an IDE session.
