Sifr is a cloud-native AI development platform. Your agents run in the cloud — persistent, autonomous, accessible from any device.

Not an app builder. Not a code playground. A complete development environment where AI agents work asynchronously on your real codebases.

We’re in the age of AI writing 95% of code. This changes what "development" means.

Old World

  • Developer types code
  • Keyboard is essential
  • IDE = text editor
  • Work happens at desk

New World

  • AI writes code
  • Keyboard is optional
  • IDE = AI director + reviewer
  • Work happens anywhere

The bottleneck has moved. It’s no longer typing speed or syntax knowledge. It’s:

  • DirectingTelling AI what to build
  • ReviewingUnderstanding what AI produced
  • ShippingCommitting and pushing when ready

None of these require a keyboard. They require intent and judgment.

The old objection: "You can’t code on a phone."

But if AI writes the code, you don’t need to type. Sifr’s agents run in the cloud — independently of your device. You just need to:

  • Express intentNatural language works on any device
  • Review diffsReading works on any screen
  • Approve actionsOne tap or click
  • Ship when readyOne action, anywhere

Sifr isn’t "Cursor but on your phone." It’s built for a world where development is cloud-native, agents work autonomously, and you’re in control from any device.

A cloud-native AI development platform for your real projects.

Sifr Is

  • Cloud-native AI development platform
  • Full workflow on existing repos
  • AI that executes in real cloud sandboxes
  • Git-native (status, commit, push, PR)
  • Background agents that work while you’re away
  • Accessible from mobile, web, and desktop

Sifr Is Not

  • Chat app that talks about code
  • App generator for new projects
  • AI that just suggests code
  • Copy-paste workflow
  • No-code tool for non-developers

Traditional AI coding tools tie your agent to your device. Close the app, the agent stops. Switch devices, you lose context. Sifr is different.

Traditional Tools

  • Agent runs on your machine
  • Close the app = agent stops
  • One device at a time
  • Sessions are ephemeral
  • Context lost on disconnect

Sifr

  • Agent runs in the cloud
  • Close the app = agent continues
  • Any device, any time
  • Sessions persist forever
  • Context always available

Start a refactoring task on your phone before a meeting. Your agent continues for 2 hours in the cloud. After the meeting, open Sifr on your laptop — everything is done, ready for review.

You:

"Add rate limiting to the /api/users endpoint"

Sifr AI:

Reads your codebase

Plans the implementation

Writes the code

Shows you exactly what changed

Waits for your approval

Commits and pushes when you say go

permission system

The key differentiator. You control how much freedom AI has.

  • Three presets: Safe (read-only), Balanced (ask first), Autonomous (run freely)
  • See exactly what AI will do before it happens
  • 45-second approval countdown with full context
  • Session memory: 'Remember for this session' reduces friction
  • Command allowlist/denylist for fine-grained control
  • Protected paths that AI can never touch

background execution

Start a task, close the app, return to completed work.

  • AI continues working when app is backgrounded
  • iOS Live Activities show progress in Dynamic Island
  • Push notifications for completions and approvals
  • Auto-continue for long-running tasks (up to 1000 steps)
  • Seamless reconnection — never lose progress
  • Event replay catches you up on missed activity

cli credentials

Deploy to production from your phone. Securely.

  • Store Expo, NPM, AWS, GCP, Apple credentials
  • AES-256 encrypted at rest
  • Credentials injected only when commands run
  • Never exposed in chat or logs
  • Audit trail for all credential usage
  • Add custom environment variables for any service

ai-powered development

Read files, write code, run commands, manage git — all through natural language.

  • Real-time streaming — watch AI think live
  • Multi-modal: read images, PDFs, and screenshots
  • Web search for documentation and solutions
  • Context memory survives long conversations
  • Model-specific optimization for Claude, GPT, Gemini
  • Todo tracking shows progress as AI works

full git workflow

Not a simulation. Real git operations on real repositories.

  • git.status, git.diff, git.add, git.commit, git.push
  • Create pull requests directly from the app
  • Co-authored commits for AI contributions
  • git.log, git.checkout, git.discard
  • Line-by-line diff viewer before you approve

file operations

Full control over your codebase.

  • file.read — Read files, images, and PDFs
  • file.write — Create or overwrite files
  • file.edit — Targeted search/replace edits for existing files
  • web_search — Find documentation and solutions
  • repo.search — Search codebase with ripgrep

command execution

Run any command in your project.

  • npm, yarn, pnpm, cargo, pip, go — any package manager
  • Build commands, test runners, linters
  • Output captured and displayed
  • Protected by permission system

cloud workspaces

Persistent cloud environments accessible from any device. No local setup required.

  • Sub-100ms workspace startup
  • Persistent storage across sessions and devices
  • Full conversation history saved
  • Isolated environment for every project
  • Resume any session on any device

multi-model ai

Multiple models from leading vendors. Pick the right AI for the task, or let Sifr auto-route. Powered by OpenRouter.

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.6, Haiku 4.5
  • GPT-5.2 Codex and GPT-5.3 Codex
  • Gemini 3 Flash and Gemini 3 Pro
  • Kimi K2.5, GLM-5, and more via OpenRouter
  • Smart auto-routing based on task complexity
  • Switch models mid-conversation
  • New models added as they become available

transparent pricing

Pay for compute, not seats. See exactly what you're spending.

  • Real-time cost tracking as you work
  • Per-request breakdown (input/output tokens)
  • All models available on all plans
  • Top up anytime — credits never expire
  • No surprise bills

session & history

Your work is always saved.

  • Full conversation history per session
  • Session list with timestamps
  • Resume any conversation
  • Context preserved across app restarts

project memory

AI remembers your project context.

  • AGENTS.md file support
  • Custom instructions per project
  • Architecture notes, conventions, commands
  • AI follows your coding standards

Understanding where Sifr fits in the AI coding landscape.

vs. Desktop IDEs (Cursor, Windsurf)

They’re powerful but desktop-only. Close the app, the agent stops.

Sifr advantage: Cloud-native agents that run in background + any-device access

vs. App Builders (Vibecode, Rork, Bolt.new)

They generate new apps from scratch. We work on your existing codebases.

Sifr advantage: Connect GitHub, work on real repos, push real changes

vs. Cloud IDEs (Replit, Gitpod)

They offer cloud workspaces but lack autonomous AI agents and mobile-native UX.

Sifr advantage: True background agent execution + cross-device continuity

vs. AI Assistants (ChatGPT, Claude.ai)

They talk about code. Sifr executes in persistent cloud sandboxes with real git.

Sifr advantage: Persistent workspaces + full git workflow from any device

Sifr (صفر)

Arabic for "zero" — the origin of the word "cipher" and the concept of zero in mathematics. The concept of zero as a number originated in the Islamic Golden Age, revolutionizing mathematics and making modern computing possible.

From zero, everything is built. From nothing, Sifr creates working software.

Jabr (جبر)

Our internal AI harness layer. The word is the root of "algebra" — it means "completion" or "restoration."

Jabr takes incomplete intent and completes it into working code.
