Deeptide is a macOS-native coding agent built around DeepSeek. It lives in your terminal, runs file and shell tools, keeps per-project state, supports MCP and sub-agents, and can route screenshots or documents through Paean AI. Pair it with the open dsgo and ds4 Mac inference engines to run local DeepSeek V4 Flash on MacBook Pro, Studio, or mini where hardware allows. Swift-built, signed, small, private, and cost-aware.
Hey Product Hunt — I'm Ryan, maker of deeptide. deeptide started as dogfood. I wanted to test how far DeepSeek could go if the harness around it was designed for real development work instead of chat-window copy paste. The result is a macOS-native coding agent that lives in your terminal. It can read and edit files, run shell commands, keep project-scoped state, use MCP servers, launch sub-agents, and route multimodal references through Paean AI when DeepSeek needs help seeing a screenshot, PDF, or document. The Mac story matters. deeptide is built in Swift and optimized around macOS workflows. Paired with the open dsgo and ds4 Mac inference engines, it can connect to local DeepSeek V4 Flash on MacBook Pro, Mac Studio, or Mac mini where the hardware allows — giving you an offline path with stronger privacy and a very different cost structure. If you're not on a Mac, use zero-cli instead: ``sh curl -fsSL https://0.works/install.sh | bash bun add -g @paean-ai/zero-cli ` zero-cli can also be launched with the tide alias and gives you a workflow close to deeptide on non-Mac systems. The design goal is simple: keep the product small, native, and fast, but give the model the tools it needs to be useful every day. It is built in Swift, signed and notarized for macOS, MIT licensed, and installs with: `sh curl -fsSL https://deeptide.sh/install.sh | sh `` We also run other AI products at A8E and Paean, including Clide, Paean AI, and 0.works, so deeptide is part of a working product ecosystem rather than a one-off demo. Feedback, bug reports, and tough questions are welcome. — Ryan
