Local-first ADE
BYOK forever

Ship code that proves it works.

Give Phonton a coding task. It starts cheap, verifies, and escalates only when checks fail.

Labeled live receipt from the add-one fixture (CLI 0.21.1). Frontier uses a published Opus-class list rate. Not a competitor comparison.

Goal

You describe a merge-bound outcome, not a chat prompt.

Cheap first

Planner floors routine work. Frontier stays in reserve.

Prove it

Checks run before review. Fail means repair, then escalate.

The ADE loop, not a cheaper chat wrapper.

Phonton plans, edits, verifies, and remembers. Cost shows up on the receipt because verification decided whether a cheap model was enough.

Plan first
Acceptance criteria and the verify plan are visible before workers start.
Cheap first
Routine work stays on inexpensive models until checks fail.
Diff workers
Workers return patches, not a rewritten tree.
Verification
Syntax, build, tests, and diagnostics decide review-ready.
Receipt
Files, checks, route, cost, and frontier estimate in one place.
Local memory
Decisions stay on your machine. Resume without a hosted transcript.

Mentions become typed source rows.

Instead of dumping whole trees into the context window, Phonton resolves folders, files, symbols, and MCP capabilities you named.

The receipt is how you see money and proof together.

When a goal finishes you should know what changed, which model hops ran, which checks passed, what it cost, and what a frontier-only run would have cost at a published list rate.

Not a token subsidy

Free is BYOK. We do not sell $1 for $10 of compute.

Cloud is optional

Pro syncs settings, receipts, and personal memory. Ultra adds team memory and a queue.

Keys stay yours

Calls go to your provider. No Phonton inference proxy required.

Free Desktop

Same spine. Goal, route, receipt.

Desktop is a free control room over the local CLI. Pro and Ultra add optional cloud sync. Not required to run goals.

Try the CLI

Install, run doctor, then type a small verifiable goal.

npm install -g phonton-cli
phonton doctor --provider
