Nerve is an open-source, local-first coding harness that exposes prompts, reasoning, tool calls, approvals, diffs, and verification steps as inspectable events. Developers can monitor and retune running coding agents, use their own provider credentials or subscriptions, and run the desktop harness locally.
Nerve sits in PulseGate's Coding AI & assistants category. It focuses on managing AI coding agents without visibility into their actions or the ability to steer live runs. It is built as an open-source project for developers using AI coding agents. Nerve is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Nerve is available on the web, macOS, Windows, Linux, and the command line, and it can be self-hosted.
ThilinaTLM builds and maintains Nerve, and it first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 70 stars and 869 commits in the last 90 days. Among its 10 catalogued features are agent event inspection, live run controls, and approval gates. Nerve is currently in beta.
