Goder - A Fast Agentic TUI for Coding

# Why Goder?

language

Written in Go

Built entirely in Go — not JavaScript. No Node.js runtime, no npm, no bundlers. Just a single fast binary.

architecture

No Render Loop

Does not use a render loop or React in the terminal. No mouse capture or alt screens. Your last output page is retained in the terminal after exiting.

performance

Fast & Lightweight

Uses roughly 1/3 the memory and 1/4 the CPU compared to similar TUIs. Starts instantly and stays responsive.

transparency

Transparent Output

Linear and transparent output. Tool call output is visible so you always know what the agent is doing.

dogfooding

Built with Itself

Goder is built with Goder — approximately 70% of its own code was written by its own agent.
