Our vision

Why Filesystems, Why Now

AI agents are evolving from autocomplete into collaborators. They write code, run tests, inspect logs, edit docs, generate assets, and work across multiple machines while humans continue building alongside them.

But agents are still missing one of the most basic pieces of developer infrastructure: a real workspace.

As developers, we don’t live entirely in GitHub. We live in our desktop folders. That is where our repos, scripts, local configs, prompts, notes, test fixtures, generated files, logs, and half-finished changes exist. Git is essential, but it was built for version history, not live collaboration. It records decisions after they are ready. It does not give every machine and agent the same working state right now.

You can store files in S3, R2, or any object store. But a bucket is not a workspace. Editors, terminals, test runners, language servers, and agents expect a real filesystem: something they can mount, search, watch, edit, and run against with normal tools. AspectFS is the layer that turns shared storage into a developer-native workspace.

That gap is becoming more painful as development spreads across more environments. A developer might use a MacBook, a Linux box, a Mac Mini, a cloud VM, and several coding agents in the same week. Each one needs the same project structure, the same repos, the same local context, and the same files. Today, that means cloning, pulling, copying, syncing env files, rebuilding folders, and using Git as a handoff tool for work that is not ready to be committed.

We built AspectFS because the future of software development is human-agent collaboration, and that collaboration needs a shared filesystem.

What AspectFS Does

AspectFS gives developers and AI agents one live workspace across every machine.

Mount your code folder on a laptop, server, cloud VM, or agent runtime. The directory structure appears everywhere, files stream on demand, and your existing tools keep working normally: editors, terminals, shells, test runners, language servers, and agents.

AspectFS works alongside Git instead of replacing it. Git tracks history. AspectFS keeps the workspace live.

We want to build the shared development filesystem for the agent era: one place where humans and agents can see the same files, work from the same context, and move between machines without rebuilding the environment every time.
