Dereference

What is Dereference?

Dereference is a cutting-edge Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed specifically for developers who want to work faster and smarter. It allows users to orchestrate multiple AI sessions, branch conversations atomically, and switch between different AI models like Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini instantly. Built with Rust for native performance, Dereference ensures lightning-fast responses and smooth animations, making it a powerful tool for developers who need to multitask efficiently.

Benefits

Parallel AI Sessions

Dereference enables you to run multiple AI conversations simultaneously. This means you can interact with different AI models like Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini at the same time, switching between them instantly. Each session maintains its own context, allowing you to compare approaches, validate solutions, and leverage the strengths of different models for various tasks.

Branch & Merge

One of the standout features of Dereference is its ability to branch and merge conversations like code. You can create branches from any point in your conversation history, explore alternative solutions without losing your original context, and merge successful branches back into your main conversation flow. This feature is similar to using Git, ensuring that you never lose context and can always revert to previous points if needed.

Lightning Fast

Built with Rust and optimized for speed, Dereference offers near-instant responses, smooth animations, and efficient memory usage. Unlike many other IDEs that rely on Electron, Dereference provides pure native performance on every platform, making it a fast and reliable tool for developers.

Privacy First

Dereference prioritizes your privacy. All processing happens on your machine, and your code stays local. There is no telemetry, no tracking, and no usage data collected. Your API keys are stored securely in your local keychain, ensuring complete privacy by design.

AI Tool Integration

Dereference seamlessly integrates with popular AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Gemini CLI. This means you can use your existing tools and workflows while gaining the power of multi-session orchestration and branching. It is compatible with any LLM that provides an API, making it a versatile tool for developers.

Smart Context

Dereference features intelligent context management across all sessions. It automatically manages context windows for optimal performance, ensuring that relevant information stays in focus while maintaining conversation coherence across branches and sessions. This smart truncation feature helps keep your workflow organized and efficient.

Use Cases

For Developers Who Ship Fast

Dereference is ideal for developers who need to work quickly and efficiently. Whether you are debugging code, exploring different solutions, or managing multiple projects, Dereference's parallel AI sessions and branching capabilities allow you to multitask effectively.

For Teams Collaborating on Code

Teams can use Dereference to collaborate on code more efficiently. The ability to branch and merge conversations ensures that everyone stays on the same page, and the integration with popular AI tools makes it easy to incorporate AI-assisted coding into your workflow.
