A home for your work
CodeRook is paid for by people renting storage. Not by training on what you upload, not by selling it on, and not by deciding which tools you were allowed to use. There is no second business here that your work is the raw material for.

The promise
Every host says something like this. What matters is whether saying it costs them anything — so each promise below is followed by the reason we can afford to keep it.
Not your private projects and not your public ones. No model is built from anything stored here, by us or by anyone we hand it to.
Why we can hold that: there is no model to sell, so your files are worth nothing to us beyond the rent on the space they take up.
If CodeRook itself is ever sold, what changes hands is the service. The code people put on it stays theirs and does not transfer.
Why we can hold that: it is a term of the contract, not a policy page — a buyer inherits the promise along with the company.
No AI threshold, no review of your history. Nothing to guess at before you upload, and no policy vote that can change it later.
Why we can hold that: we charge for storage, so we have no reason to care which editor, model or keyboard produced the files.
All three are written into the terms, not just onto this page.
Why that is affordable
Storage and bandwidth cost real money, and subscriptions cover them. That is the whole model, which is why nothing here depends on your projects being useful to somebody else. A promise only holds when breaking it would not make anyone richer.
Everything is compressed and deduplicated before it lands, and anything repeated across versions is only kept once. Your allowance counts what ends up stored, not what sits on your disk.
Formats that are already compressed — video, model weights, archives — squeeze less. The bars show what actually counts against a plan.
What it costs
No per-seat pricing, no metered builds, no enterprise call. Pick an allowance, and add more later if you outgrow it.
Outgrow one and storage stacks. Any account, the free one included, can add 50 GB blocks at $4 a month each, pooled across every project and cancelled on their own. A block buys space and nothing else — every capability is on every plan already, including the free one. Invite as many people to a project as you like — collaborators are free. Payment runs through Stripe, so card details never touch a CodeRook server. Past your allowance uploads pause while downloads, browsing and deletion keep working, and nothing is ever deleted automatically.
From Git to CBX
Most of what followed Git in 2005 kept Git underneath and repaired one constraint at a time. A second line replaced the repository itself: Google’s Piper, Meta’s Sapling and, this October, Anthropic’s Scion, each built for one company’s monorepo. CBX is that second kind of repository, built for everyone else’s projects.
After BitKeeper withdrew free use, Git was built for speed, distribution and non-linear development at Linux-kernel scale. Its immutable blob, tree and commit graph became the foundation everything on this line inherited.
Discovery, access control, review and a social layer arrived around the existing repository. The hosting experience changed; the Git object graph and the push transaction did not.
Git LFS moves selected binaries to a separate store and leaves a small pointer file inside Git. Existing tools keep working because the repository underneath is unchanged.
Protocol v2, partial clone and sparse checkout defer objects or fetch only part of a tree. A clone gets cheaper; Git’s canonical graph stays exactly as it was.
Xet applies content-defined chunking to model-sized files and carried the smallest large-file edit in our study. Git LFS still invokes it, and pointer files still live in the Git repository.
Google moved its monorepo off Perforce onto Piper, a repository built on its own distributed databases, with developers working through a virtual file system instead of full checkouts. It holds billions of lines in a single tree, and nobody outside Google can use it.
Meta’s source control for its own monorepo, with a server of its own and a virtual file system that loads files as they are read. The client was released in 2022 and works with Git hosts; the server-side setup that gives it its scale is Meta’s own.
Anthropic replaced Git after their merge rate went from about 2,500 a day in May to over 30,000 in September, mostly from agents. Scion stores each change against its parent, builds blame and history afterwards as derived data, and checks out only what a job reads. It is private and, in their words, no general replacement for Git.
30,000+merges a day, as published by Anthropic
Immutable Versions and Tracks are canonical, with content-defined chunks and packs beneath them; Git is a doorway in rather than the floor underneath. Measured on the live service in October with many agents saving into one 14,108-file project:
40,900saves a day one project’s lock allows
8,863saves a day actually reached, four agents on one PC
0failed saves out of 100, with up to eight agents at once
Films
We made these to show CodeRook doing its job instead of describing it. Each film follows one part of it through a real task on a throwaway account, and every terminal line and screen in it is a recording of what actually happened.
Night PostApp updates: release a version, attach the installer, and every installed copy finds it on its own.
The Specials BoardMerging: two people change one file at once. Different lines combine; the same line becomes a choice.
Locked OutAI access: four switches on each project that keep AI tools out and let people straight in.
Git vs cbxGit and cbx together: push with git, save and release with cbx, on the same project.
The big pushLarge projects: a 6.25 GB game that GitHub, GitLab and Codeberg refuse, saved whole.
The heistVersion history: hide, undo or take down a version, and the record of what happened stays.
Get started
Point CodeRook at a folder and it does the rest. No Git required (it works with yours if you have it), no card to enter, and nothing you have to agree to hand over.
