05 / A FEW ANSWERS

A little more context.

A few things you might be wondering before your first review.

Is Tachyon an editor?

Tachyon is a dedicated code reader and review workspace. Your agent or editor makes the code changes; Tachyon helps you explore them, trace the logic, and mark files reviewed without editing your source files.

Does my code stay on my machine?

The viewer runs locally and binds to 127.0.0.1 by default. There are no accounts or telemetry. Update checks, downloads, and optional language-server setup can use the network; reviewing your code does not require uploading it to a hosted service.

Can my agents keep working while I review?

Yes. Tachyon can follow changes across worktrees while you review. Pause live updates to inspect a snapshot, and pick up newer changes when you are ready. Review marks belong to exact file versions, so further edits make those marks stale.

Which languages does it support?

Syntax highlighting covers roughly 280 languages, with 14 themes. Optional local language servers add definitions, references, and call trails for languages including Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python, and Java. Language servers are installed separately; search and code reading work without them.

Is it free? How do I update?

Tachyon is free to use. The distributed binary ships under the MIT license. To update, run the quick install command again. It downloads and verifies the latest binary before replacing your installation.
