Local work
Files, Git, terminals, previews, and agent processes stay on the machine.
Desktop coding workspace
Northstar keeps the project on your computer.
Use the coding agents you already run locally. When you choose a platform model, the hosted gateway meters that request against your monthly allowance and stops when the allowance is gone.
Included allowance, not an unlimited meter
$15 left of $15
A subscription stays active after the allowance is used. Hosted model calls stop until you buy credits or the next period starts. Purchased credits are kept separately.
Metered models
OpenAI and Anthropic calls go through the gateway. The desktop app never holds those provider keys.
Your own agents
Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, and the other installed CLIs keep their own sign-in and are not billed to your allowance.
