Our Mission

AI coding agents are transforming how developers work, but the tooling hasn't caught up. You're juggling multiple terminals, switching between apps, and losing context every time you step away from your desk.

We built Chell to solve this. One workspace for all your AI agents. Seamless sync between your desktop and phone. End-to-end encryption so your code stays yours. We believe the best developer tools should feel invisible—powerful enough to handle complex workflows, simple enough to just work.

What We Believe

Ship Fast, Iterate Faster

We'd rather put something in users' hands and learn than spend months perfecting in isolation. Speed is a feature.

Privacy by Default

Your code is yours. End-to-end encryption isn't a premium feature—it's the baseline. We can't see your data because we designed it that way.

Developer-First

We build for developers because we are developers. Every feature starts with "would this make my workflow better?"

Stay Lean

Small team, big impact. We stay focused, avoid bloat, and make decisions quickly. No bureaucracy, no politics.
