Kawa Code Desktop Application

First thing you need in order to work with Kawa Code is to install the desktop application. Kawa Code is a separate application that you can keep open on a separate monitor, showing you context relevant to your work.

VSCode Extension (Huginn)

The extension communicates with Kawa Code, so please make sure you install the desktop application first. In VSCode, search the marketplace for CodeAwareness and install it.

SOC2 Compliance

The entire Kawa Code system is SOC-2 compliant, with secure APIs on AWS cloud, robust authentication, encrypted traffic, continuous monitoring, and backup systems.

Swarm Authentication

For teams who don't want to grant repository access, our non-invasive security model enables collaboration without requesting access to your code repository. Team members are identified through continuously confirmed commit SHA values.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kawa Code offers long-term goal coherence for you and your AI. Projects drift — not because goals change deliberately, but because day-to-day focus on smaller steps gradually derails the larger vision. Kawa Code captures these decisions across all your branch timelines as they happen and surfaces them when they matter.

Because some kinds of work stop being linear. The Standard plan is designed for one person, one timeline. The Professional plan exists for situations where multiple lines of reasoning run in parallel and decisions need to be coordinated across humans and AI.

No. Kawa Code's memory layer works on abstracted intent and evolution, not raw source code. You remain in control of where and how AI reasoning happens.

The Translation add-on translates code comments, variable names, and documentation into your preferred language directly inside your editor. It uses our hosted LLM service for convenience, but you can configure your own LLM API key instead.
