## What it is
DeepTide is an AI coding agent tuned for DeepSeek models, shipped as a Swift-native macOS app plus cross-platform terminal CLIs (TypeScript/Bun and Rust). It provides file editing, shell execution, git context, MCP server support, project memory, and a path to fully local inference on Apple Silicon via its bundled ds4/dsgo runtime.

## Use cases
- ai coding agent for deepseek in the terminal
- refactor code with an llm agent from the command line
- run a coding agent fully offline on apple silicon
- connect mcp servers to a deepseek coding assistant
- native macos app for ai-assisted programming
- headless ai coding agent for ci pipelines
- give an llm shell and git tools to edit my codebase

## When to choose
- You use DeepSeek models and want a harness tuned for their long context and streaming reasoning
- You want a signed, notarized, Mac-native coding agent with Keychain auth and Apple hardware awareness
- You need local/private inference on MacBook Pro, Mac Studio, or Mac mini without cloud calls
- You want a single-binary Rust CLI for headless CI or low-resource machines

## When to avoid
- You primarily use Claude, GPT, or other non-DeepSeek models and want a model-agnostic agent
- You need a full graphical IDE experience rather than a terminal-first workflow
- You require Windows or Linux desktop GUI support from the native app (the Swift app is macOS-only)
