CUTTHROAT SOFTWARE
Sharp tools for a cutthroat trade.
A small shop with three fish in the water: an AI IDE that lives in your pocket, a blacksmith simulator with real forging physics, and an AI persona who runs the office.
cut·throat (n.): a trout, named for the crimson slash under its jaw. Also a software company.

DAGGER
The AI IDE that lives in your pocket.
A short blade for long work. Dagger keeps your AI agents running on your own machines while you carry the controls in your pocket. Start an agent, close the laptop, and it keeps going. When it needs you, it pings your phone, and one tap lands you in that exact shell.
The loop
THREE TAPS TO SHIPPED
-
START IT
Kick off an agent on your own machine, close the laptop, and walk away. It keeps going.
-
GET PINGED
When the agent needs a decision, your phone buzzes. One tap lands you in that exact shell.
-
SHIP
Review the diff in a terminal that feels local, approve it, and the PR opens from the checkout line.
Why it cuts
SHARP WHERE IT COUNTS
BUILT FOR THUMBS
Not a desktop IDE squeezed onto glass. A command deck for your agents, swipe-through diffs, targets sized for hands.
AGENTS THAT DON'T CLOCK OUT
Your agents run on your machines, not in someone's cloud. Close the laptop and the work keeps going. Your code never leaves your hardware.
NO CEREMONY
One line to install, one command to enrol, and you're in: a terminal that feels local, with no VPN and no open ports.
Also in the fire
FORGED IN VR
Forged in VR is a blacksmith simulator with real forging physics. Heat shows in the color of the steel, not in a health bar. Strike while it's actually hot, and the metal moves where the hammer lands.
Temperature, timing, and grain all matter. Rush the quench and the blade shatters, exactly like it should.
// In the fire now. Trailer when it's glowing.

MOM JEANS
Mom Jeans is an AI persona for running your life and your business. She keeps the calendar honest, chases the invoices, reads the fine print, and remembers the thing you swore you wouldn't forget again.
Practical, unflappable, and a little uncool on purpose. High waist, deep pockets: room for everything you carry.
// She also thinks you should drink some water.

ABOUT CUTTHROAT
Cutthroat Software is a small team building sharp tools for people who would rather ship than sit at a desk. Dagger is the first blade off the wheel.
We are named after the trout: golden, spotted, a red slash under the jaw. It holds its own against fish twice its size, which is roughly our product strategy.
We build for a trade that is cutthroat enough already: better to spend the day cutting problems down to size than fighting your own tools.
