Chan manual

Manual

A guide to chan: from your first window to remote workspaces and agent teams.

chan turns a folder on your disk into a workspace: it indexes the content for search, gives Markdown files autocompletion for linking to each other, and builds a graph of the project. Around that it gives you a desktop app with a fast terminal emulator, split panes, and built-in apps (editor, file browser, graph, dashboard, and more), so you and your coding agents work on the same project side by side. Everything runs locally by default, and the same experience works against a remote machine through Chan Devserver.
