Your backlog, built overnight.

The Farm runs the AI of your choice on machines you own. Every item in your backlog gets its own session, is tested and pushed by your machine, and lands on main only when it passes.

How it works

you

Write the backlog

Items live in your own git repository, each saying how to check it is done. File them from the app, the web or a text editor.

backlog/0012-*.md

the farm

Lanes work it

A lane per project, on your Linux, Mac or Windows machines. Each item gets its own AI session — Claude, Codex, Gemini or a local model — unattended, day and night.

the gate

Only green lands

The lane re-runs your tests itself. A passing item is pushed to your main branch, verified. A stuck one waits, and you answer it from your phone.

git push origin main

Your keys. Your AI.

Your machine holds the keys

The work happens on your hardware. The AI writes and commits; the machine tests, merges and pushes, with a git token the AI never sees.

→ who holds what

Any AI you already pay for

Sign in with your subscription or bring an API key — or run a model on your own GPU. Pick it per machine, per project, even per item.

→ the AIs it runs

Frugal by design — every item runs on a budget, on the lightest model that does the job.→ how it saves tokens

Yours, and reachable

Your farm stands alone

every tier

Your code, your machines, your git server. Nothing on the build path goes through us.

The hub, from anywhere

HUB TIERS

Remote access from the iOS app and any browser, and automatic deployment of what your farm builds.

What the farm is made of

The farm itself, the hub that reaches it from anywhere, each machine’s own panel, the app on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, and the display on your shelf. Each one has its page on thestouch.com.

    The Farm

    An unattended AI build farm: AI sessions — Claude, Codex, Gemini or a local model — work each project’s backlog, test the result and land it — run from a phone.

    Farm Hub

    The Farm’s hub: one Go server that finds every farm, holds the credentials and serves a single model of the whole farm.

    Farm Host

    Each farm machine’s own web control panel — its lanes, sessions and event log — that keeps working when the hub is down.

Indicative prices, EUR, excluding VAT. Model usage runs on your own AI subscription or API key and is never resold.

If you stop your subscription, nothing is lost.

When a licence lapses, the farm goes idle cleanly. It never holds your work hostage.

Running work is stopped properly, lanes stop, and no new item or session starts. Your repositories, backlogs and history stay exactly where they are, on your machines. Renew, and it picks up where it left off.
