Software is made
between commits

Be among the first to try DeltaDB, a version control system that records the work as it unfolds and keeps every change connected to the conversation that shaped it.

Learn about DeltaDB

Rewind to any edit

DeltaDB captures every operation in between commits and gives each one a stable identity, so you can point to the code at any moment in its evolution.

Trace code to conversation

Every change is linked to the agent conversation that produced it. From any line of code, find the conversation. From any message, jump to the code it touched.

Branch at any moment

DeltaDB virtualizes the worktree, so spinning up a new agent branch is effectively free. Any point in history is a valid branch point, including mid-run.

Share the thread, not the PR

A teammate can join while the work is still happening, talk to the agent that did the work, and annotate as they go, without waiting for you to commit and push first.
