Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
The Safeguard desktop app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Install and verify it, learn what to ask it, and pair it with the CLI and your phone.
Use Safeguard with nothing installed: a cloud sandbox free for seven days with no card, a cloud computer, Cloud CLI or the web. Then move to the local CLI.
Install the Safeguard CLI in a pipeline step, run safeguard scan, read vuln.json under ./output with jq, and use safeguard exec for one assistant turn.
The Safeguard CLI has three approval modes: Ask prompts before every action, Auto approves known actions and asks about new ones, Yolo approves everything.
Check scope, every dependency change, risky lines and config files, then scan the branch and compare SBOMs against main before you merge agent code.
Replit Agent builds apps inside Replit projects. To run the agent on your own machine, look at Dyad, bolt.diy, OpenCode, Cline, Aider, Goose or OpenHands.
Claude Code is not open source. Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Aider, Cline, goose, Qwen Code, Kilo Code and OpenHands are, with licences checked here.
Run the agent locally, choose which model sees your prompts, and scan with a local runner that uploads only SBOMs and findings. What each tool sends where.
Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Kilo Code, OpenCode, Tabby and ProxyAI all run in JetBrains IDEs. Compare licences, models, approvals and setup steps.
