Bitpull

BitPull (bitpull.cloud)

Share code knowledge and computing power with AI tools. BitPull is a desktop app and command-line tool for developers. With it you can:

• Publish signed, AI-readable code repositories. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other AI tools search them through MCP.
• Lend idle CPU, memory and open AI models (text, vision, images, speech, music) and earn credits. Individual lending is off until you turn it on, with daily, weekly and monthly limits. Running group models are shared with the community, with their owner and members first, unless their maker keeps them private (Pro and Max plans); custom Hugging Face models stay private.
• Use the community network: run jobs in sandboxes on other people's computers, encrypted on the way, and ask open models.
• My network: computers you add run your own jobs first, for free. They can also run one larger model together, from the dashboard, and offer it to others for credits.
• Chat and local APIs: a chat page for every model, and OpenAI, Claude Messages and Ollama compatible endpoints on this computer for your other tools.
• Projects: a code editor on a folder you authorise, with agents that edit it: file tree, tabs, search, Git panel (push only with your click), Problems, outline, local history, inline edits, @file references, diffs you keep or undo piece by piece, Stop and Undo. Ask always, accept edits or auto: in auto commands run on your computer in the project folder within automatic limits; with community models, and for publishing or risky commands, every command waits for your click.
• Quick commands (from 0.1.32): in Projects and the chat, / opens commands (/compact, /review, /init, /btw, /model…) and your own custom commands from .bitpull/skills/ /SKILL.md or ~/.bitpull/skills/; !command runs in the project's folder and the agent answers about it; @ for files, ? for keyboard shortcuts, remappable in ~/.bitpull/keybindings.json (Ctrl+X then Ctrl+S sends the queue now). The agent follows BITPULL.md, AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md. Drag a folder onto the app's window to open it in Projects.
• Models in the terminal (from 0.1.33): bitpull models lists every model you can use; bitpull chat kimi talks to one (-p "question" for one answer, or pipe text in); bitpull code runs the Projects agent on the folder you are in, asking you before each change or command; eval "$(bitpull env)" or bitpull connect aider let other programs use BitPull's models through the app's OpenAI-compatible address, with a key that opens only the models. In the app's own terminal bitpull needs no install.
• Projects like Cursor (from 0.1.36): VS Code's Seti file icons and a views bar with Explorer, Search, Source Control, Extensions and Run and Debug. Extensions from Open VSX install their colour themes, icon themes, snippets and language grammars (never their code). Integrations from the official MCP registry give the agent tools, each use approved by you. Run and Debug starts Node.js and Python (debugpy) with breakpoints, variables, watch, call stack and a debug console. bitpull chat and bitpull code have a full terminal interface.
• Look and chat (from 0.1.37): dark by default with Cursor's colours, or light, or as your system. The chat has a claude.ai-like side bar (search, projects, pinned and recent chats) and a composer with attachments, your commands, integrations and dictation. "Remove a folder's authorisation" stops BitPull from seeing a folder without deleting it.
• Voice and scheduled tasks (from 0.1.38): the chat's microphone dictates (Whisper on your computer first), a spoken conversation reads the answers aloud, chats go in named groups that can be pinned, and a Scheduled tab holds reminders and prompts a model answers at a set time. Any AI can add them: the app's chat, MCP (bitpull_schedule_save) or bitpull schedule add "Report" --weekdays 09:00 --run "…". The npm command now updates itself once a day (off with BITPULL_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1).
• Build and publish sites with AI (from 0.1.41): Projects shows your local site beside the editor; the AI sees the page, reads its errors, clicks and fills forms while you watch. "New site" makes a ready Vite project, and Publish puts it online on your own Cloudflare or Vercel account, with a database (Supabase, Neon) or Redis (Upstash) on your account or free and temporary without one. The app's chat shows the pages a model writes (HTML, SVG) working beside the conversation. From 0.1.45 Publish can also put the site on BitPull's own hosting with no other account (Base 3 sites, Pro 10, Max 25 while the plan lasts; Pay as you go 5 days), "Edit" on the preview lets you click a part of the site and say what to change, the Panel's "My sites" manages every published site, and from 0.1.44 "Start preview" runs HTML, Node.js, Python and PHP sites with one click, downloading what is missing. Keys stay on your computer. From Claude Code or Cursor: preview_open, preview_look, preview_click, preview_type, preview_screenshot, and bitpull_publish_site, bitpull_create_site_service.
• Node.js found by itself (from 0.1.42): the site preview and the agent's commands find Node.js even when the app is opened from the Dock or a menu, and download a verified Node.js 24 LTS into ~/.bitpull/runtimes when it is missing. Shift+Enter adds a line in bitpull chat and bitpull code in terminals with the kitty keyboard protocol (Ghostty, kitty, WezTerm, iTerm2, Alacritty, foot).
• Terminal: a real terminal in the projects view of the desktop app, off until you turn it on. The npm package leaves out its native component to stay small.
• Cheaper than Runpod, honest about earnings: jobs and open models run on computers people already own. An hour of a 24 GB GPU with 9 cores and 25 GB costs about €0.13 (Runpod $0.16), an RTX 4090 about €0.25 (Runpod $0.34), a million tokens of a medium open model about €1.44, even with a recharge. Prices cover the lender's electricity (Italian household rates) plus a little; data-centre cards are about 10% below Runpod. Lending earns little on purpose: the credits are for using AI on other people's computers. No monthly fee with pay as you go, or plans from €4.50 a month, VAT included.

Install

The install scripts verify the SHA-256 of the download before installing it, install for the current user and add the bitpull command. Installers are also available at https://bitpull.cloud/download

Use it from your AI tool (MCP)

{ "mcpServers": { "bitpull": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "bitpull", "mcp"] } } }

You can also connect it from the app, or with bitpull connect claude-code|codex|cursor|windsurf|gemini|vscode|claude-desktop.

Then ask your assistant to log in. The bitpull_login tool shows a link and a code, and you approve it on the website: the assistant never sees your password.

The tools include:

• search_repos, read_manifest, fetch_files: code shared by BitPull users, and public GitHub repositories BitPull offers (permissive or GPL licence), read straight from GitHub at a fixed commit
• ask_open_model, use_open_model, list_open_models
• ask_group_model, list_group_models: the model run by the person's own group of computers
• bitpull_groups, bitpull_start_group, bitpull_stop_group, bitpull_share_group and the others named bitpull_*: every item of the app's control panel
• run_job, job_status, my_balance (from 0.1.46 run_job takes gpu: the graphics card class the job needs, from consumer to b200)
• bitpull_file_limits, save_job_files: large files of any kind, encrypted here and sent directly; results are saved in a folder you authorised and then deleted from BitPull's store
• bitpull_login, bitpull_logout, bitpull_setup_status, bitpull_set_lending_rules, bitpull_set_ai_limits, bitpull_install, bitpull_download_model
• preview_open, preview_look, preview_click, preview_type, preview_scroll, preview_screenshot (from 0.1.41): see, test and photograph the site you are building on this computer, in the BitPull app's preview
• bitpull_new_site, bitpull_publish_site, bitpull_create_site_service, bitpull_site_job, bitpull_site_info, bitpull_site_accounts, bitpull_claim_database (from 0.1.41): publish on the person's own Cloudflare or Vercel account and create Supabase, Neon or Upstash; the person pastes their keys in the app, never the AI
• bitpull_start_preview, bitpull_preview_job (from 0.1.44): the one-click preview
• bitpull_hosted_sites, bitpull_unpublish_site, bitpull_my_sites (from 0.1.45): sites hosted by BitPull itself (bitpull_publish_site with provider bitpull), taking one offline, and every published site with its folder

From a phone, open https://bitpull.cloud/app: after turning on "Use from your phone" in the app on your computer and scanning its code, the phone shows that computer's Projects, terminal, chat and settings, encrypted end to end. Everything runs on the computer. Terminals opened from the phone keep running on the computer for an hour after the phone goes away, and chat answers are saved by the computer.

Shared groups: several people (classmates, friends) put some of their computers together to run large open models. Anyone can create one and invite others with a code; each person offers only their own computers. Each member uses the group free for the hours their plan includes each month (Base 50, Pro 120, Max unlimited, pay as you go none), then pays in credits like anyone else, half going back to the members; traffic is always paid in credits. A running group lends to people outside it too, with its members first, and its members share half of what it earns; on Pro and Max the person who made it can keep it private. Use a group only with people you trust: its computers process the members' questions.

Large files have no fixed limit: the command says how much one job can carry right now. Splitting big work into several jobs gives the same result, faster. After a job, its data is deleted from the computer that ran it as soon as the result is delivered, and encrypted copies in transit within 24 hours at most.
