Current GitHub release · v3.59

Stop Copy-Pasting.
Start Stitching.

AST-aware patching from your clipboard or terminal. Route LLM edits to the right files, preserve omitted code, inspect every change, and roll back in one keystroke.

Works with code from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Aider, local models, Git diffs and other sources.

Built for the AI Developer Workflow

Accordion Stitching

LLM shortened a function with “... existing code ...”? Find stable anchors, preserve untouched logic, and stitch the missing sections against your real source.

Smarter File Routing

The v3.59 HintScourer inspects prose, headers and comments while filtering hallucinated paths. File routing checks language and structure, not just a filename guess.

Clipboard + CLI Bridge

Use F9 to monitor copied replies, or run stitch attach, stitch patch, stitch analyze and stitch stream from a shell or coding agent.

Multi-File Patch Support

Route Aider SEARCH/REPLACE hunks, unified diffs, markdown code blocks and plain-text file sections across the right files in one workflow.

Syntax & Seam Protection

Normalize indentation and check AST/grammar boundaries before writes. Newer guards catch bracket, control-flow and risky seam mismatches.

Stitch Viewer + Rollback

Open the side-by-side viewer with F10, inspect or revert lines and hunks, and use Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y with local .bak snapshots.

Tactical Control

Use Shift+F9 for deliberate destination confirmation, F8 to pin a file, or the interactive adjuster to refine ambiguous matches before committing.

Free Recursive Monitoring

Personal Edition can monitor recursively across directories. Folder depth is not a Pro-only feature in the recent GitHub release notes.

THE ACTUAL WORKFLOW

From AI reply to reviewed code.

No IDE lock-in. Use clipboard monitoring, compose with project context, and take control when a suggested patch needs a closer look.

01 MONITOR

Arm the monitor.

Use F9 for clipboard monitoring or Shift+F9 for tactical review. The running app makes the current state clear.

02 COMPOSE

Send better context.

Use F7 to build a prompt with relevant source files, directories, and instructions before handing it to your model.

03 FINE-TUNE

Inspect uncertain patches.

When several files match, anchors are missing, or a replacement fails syntax checks, pick the target, adjust the match, and choose whether to commit or cancel.

SAFEGUARDS YOU CAN SEE

Review the file. Not just the patch.

Open Stitch Viewer with F10 to inspect changes against the original. The viewer includes an editing mode, a file tree, and local snapshot history for corrections and rollback.

NEWER WORKFLOWS

Send context, inspect code structure, and apply edits without leaving your terminal. The CLI talks to the running Stitcher desktop engine over localhost IPC.
