Terms

Last updated 11 November 2026

Hythe is a prototype you build and run yourself. It's free to try, it will change often, and you should keep your work in git.

Using Hythe

You can download the source from GitHub and run it on your own computer. Use of the code is governed by the license published in the repository.

It's a prototype

Hythe is under active development. Features will change, some will break, and there are no prebuilt or signed downloads yet. It's provided as is, without warranties of any kind. Keep your work committed and pushed, as you would with any tool.

The demo on this site

The Hythe window on our home page is a simulation that runs in your browser. The agents, teammates, terminal and git history in it are scripted. No code is run and nothing you type into it leaves your browser.

Agents and other tools

Hythe runs the coding-agent tools you install, such as Claude Code or GitHub Copilot, under your own accounts. Their own terms, limits and charges apply to that use, and you're responsible for it.

Open source and names

Hythe is built on open-source projects, which belong to their authors and are used under their licenses. IBM Plex is used under the SIL Open Font License. Product names on this site belong to their owners, and listing them doesn't mean they endorse Hythe. The Hythe name and logo are ours.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost data or code, arising from using Hythe or this site.

Changes

We may update these terms as Hythe develops. When we do, we'll change the date at the top.
